Cultural Inclusion

To leverage the unique skills and perspectives that your team brings to the workplace every day, a company culture that supports, values, and nurtures diversity is imperative.

Symmetra helps to create and maintain a consistent cultural experience for team members from different cultural backgrounds, as well as a clear vision for the ways an organisation’s culture may need to adapt and evolve to become truly equitable and inclusive.

Cultural Inclusion Starts Here

The Journey to Cultural Inclusion

Developing cultural inclusion is a journey that takes time and commitment. To create a workplace where people of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds can feel respected and safe, Symmetra helps to:

Build Cultural Awareness

Develop the ability and willingness to objectively examine the values, beliefs, traditions, and perceptions within our own and other cultures.

Build Cultural Intelligence

Cultivate culturally inclusive mindsets that create positively relationships between people from diverse backgrounds and successful multicultural workplaces.

Develop Cultural Competency

Learn skills to work more effectively with people from diverse backgrounds and how to resolve cross-cultural conflicts and misunderstandings.

Adapt to Support Diverse Cultural Identities

Understand how to adapt personal behaviors and organisational systems, policies, and processes to create cultural safety for all.

How We Can Help

All of Symmetra’s cultural inclusion solutions have been designed to build awareness and deepen cross-cultural respect for all groups at work. These solutions include:

Cultural Self-Assessments

Assessments that spur self-reflection, create a learning mindset and offer insight into participants’ cultural work styles.

Cultural Intelligence Bootcamps

Full or half-day bootcamps that build cultural awareness, plant the seed for culturally inclusive mindsets and behaviours, and provide cross-cultural communication essentials.

Self-paced Digital Learning

Engaging online skills development for those at the beginning of their inclusive development journeys or experienced DEI advocates looking to refresh their inclusive capabilities.

1:1 and Group Coaching Sessions

In-depth coaching options led by DEI specialists to support individual and team growth and address the challenges of navigating cultural differences.

Diversity and Inclusion Workshops

Interactive workshops designed to support the development of intercultural competencies that nurture respectful working relationships, and foster inclusive teams and organizations.

Benefits of Cultural Inclusion

There are many benefits for organisations that invest in cultural inclusion training for themselves and their employees. We’re proud to hear our clients tell us that they’ve experienced:

Stronger bonds between staff and management

A culture that promotes mutual trust, respect, and support toward each other results in stronger professional relationships at all levels of an organisation

Improved employee satisfaction and less employee turnover

Staff that feels valued and respected are more likely to enjoy coming to work every day and stay longer with their organisations.

Greater company-wide innovation

Workplace cultures that support all employees and give equal opportunities to contribute to key conversations result in better idea sharing and enhanced innovation.

Better relationships with multicultural customers and partners.

Organisations that prioritise the acceptance of their employees’ diverse cultures are better positioned to understand the unique needs and wants of their diverse clientelle and partners.
