Tools for building inclusion, trust, and equity at work.

Put your commitment to inclusion into practice with reflection questions, conversation prompts, and habits you can use in everyday workplace situations. Whether you are deepening your own understanding, leading a team, or supporting an ERG or JEDI committee, this downloadable toolkit helps you examine what is happening, consider your impact, and choose a meaningful next step.

Finding a way forward with inclusion

The backlash against DEI has left many leaders and teams unsure how to talk about inclusion, sustain their commitments, or rebuild momentum. Some organizations have continued quietly. while others are looking for a place to begin again. Yet the questions remain: Whose voices are heard? Who has access to opportunities? How do identity, culture, and power shape people’s experiences?

This toolkit offers a practical starting point for those conversations and the actions that follow.

Three questions. Three commitments. A place to begin.

Use three questions to connect self-awareness with the decisions and systems that shape your workplace:

  • How am I showing up? Notice defensiveness, examine assumptions, and take responsibility for your impact.
  • Where are we? Explore how identity and power influence perspectives, participation, and decision-making.
  • Am I doing right by everyone? Examine access to opportunities and your role in opening doors for others.

Bring inclusion into everyday interactions through three shared commitments:

  • We have your back.
  • We interact with courage and compassion.
  • We jump to curiosity instead of conclusions.

Inside, you will find reflection questions, suggested habits, sample language, and linked resources on identity, equity, psychological safety, and calling people in.
