How to build an inclusive team and be an inclusive team member
We all contribute to creating an inclusive or exclusive team every day. This Inclusive Teams at Work Toolkit provides practical steps and actions for all employees to create an inclusive team for everyone. At DCA, we identified 8 levers for Inclusive Teams at Work.
