Simple Inclusive Practices

...to Build an Inclusive, Hospitable Culture

• Cultivate bonds and bridges that enable all to grow with and learn from one another
• Practicing acts of inclusion each day to foster a welcoming environment for all — say hello and welcome newcomers; learn and use people’s names; share stories
• Engaging with groups who might have different views or interests
• Making time to actively participate in more events and initiatives across Harvard, beyond our School or business unit
• Seeking opportunities to collaborate with people from a different School or business unit toward greater inclusive excellence
• Listening, caring, and supporting — ask someone about his, her, or their personal story and share our own
• Pick one book/article to read and discuss each month to deepen understanding
• Engage in town halls and feedback processes
• Consider how inclusion and belonging concepts connect to our field or profession and develop pathways to further learnings
• Learn about diversity and inclusion efforts underway now
