Establishing inclusive behaviours and habits in your organisation that last

Many organizations strive to be inclusive and deliver training on the topic, but it’s challenging to actually sustain new behaviours and habits for an extended period. Without a consistent experience of inclusion over time from all leaders, individuals won’t view the organization as truly inclusive.

Symmetra creates sustainable change by building an appetite for inclusion, ensuring training specifies exactly how to implement inclusion in your team, and providing measurement tools that will reinforce company-wide habits and behaviours that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Challenges to Creating Sustainable Inclusive Behaviours

Resistance to change

People may resist new ways of working because they rely on old patterns of success, fear making mistakes, don’t recognise the potential benefits of inclusion, or are blinded to the need for change by their unconscious biases.

Inclusion is ambiguous

Individuals often fail to embed inclusive behaviours and habits because they lack a clear understanding of what it looks like to be inclusive in their own day-to-day work and don’t know where to start.

Lack alignment to overall strategy

If DEI feels like an “add-on” without specific objectives that are clearly aligned with the overall organisational strategy, it will always be considered less important than other priorities.

No measurement and accountability

Many companies have clear diversity KPIs but do not have granular measures of inclusion or specific goals for leaders and teams to achieve, making accountability challenging.

Why Training Often Fails to Change Behaviours

The majority of DEI training only acts as a short-term intervention and does not provide the impetus or reinforcement that is needed to change the way we think or act. Too often this training is simply an annual event that ticks off the box for corporate compliance.

For DEI training to be effective, it must be practical and relevant, gives the opportunity to practice and learn new habits, and provides ongoing support and nudges to embed consistent behaviours that create an inclusive environment.

Moreover, DEI training is most successful when assessments are used to tailor training to an organisation’s unique needs and measure progress over time.

How Symmetra Can Help

At Symmetra, we recognise that changing the way people think and behave can be difficult.
This is why our team of DEI experts has spent years preparing DEI solutions that are proven to transform the behaviour and habits of individuals, teams, and leaders. We help our clients understand the importance of inclusion, reflect on their own biases, and then offer the needed support and tools to permanently reshape personal actions and mindsets.
