Below is a checklist from SHRM regarding Inclusivity. Please visit the SHRM site for other resources too.

Inclusivity Checklist for HR

• Make sure company leaders understand that inclusion is about ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard, opinions are considered and value to the team is evident.
• Train managers—and hold them accountable—to show that inclusivity is a core competency.
• Form an inclusion council with genuine influence and power.
• Value differences and create an environment where people can feel comfortable bringing their “full selves” to work.
• Identify underrepresented groups’ needs, and give them the necessary support and resources.
• Provide workers with a safe space to voice their concerns.
• Benchmark key aspects of your organization’s culture—and understand the employee experience—before making changes to promote inclusivity.
• Remember that daily interactions are the most telling sign of whether or not your company has an inclusive culture.
