Getting Leadership Buy-In

The level of commitment from leaders to DEI will ultimately determine the success of an organisation’s DEI journey. Without complete buy-in from the top, most attempts to embed inclusion in the workplace will fail. This is where Symmetra can help.

Our DEI specialists work with leaders at all levels, from executive to front line, to personally connect with the importance of DEI as a social justice issue and a strategic business imperative. This will give them a compelling appetite to create inclusive workplaces and to seek out diversity in teams.

Leaders will learn first-hand how inclusion is not just a “nice to have”, but rather a catalyst for optimising organisational performance and innovation.

Our Approaches to Getting Leadership Buy-In

Supported by empirical data and delivered interactively by DEI specialists, Symmetra’s workshops and keynote sessions change the way leaders think about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Symmetra has developed data-backed and extensively tested inclusive leadership assessments that generate granular and benchmarked insights required to build inclusive leadership capability.

A variety of coaching options led by experienced DEI experts are available to provide continuous and personalised support throughout a leader’s personal journey towards becoming more inclusive.

Virtual DEI learning solutions can be deployed to nudge leaders into building new inclusion habits and integrating inclusion into their everyday operating rhythm, effecting sustainable change.

Symmetra's Inclusion Competency Model

Symmetra’s inclusion leadership-building solutions are built on our extensively researched inclusion competency model. This model not only helps to define what inclusion looks like in the 21st century but also gives leaders a practical roadmap to measure, benchmark, and develop inclusive behaviours.

By developing behaviours such as actively seeking out and engaging with people who are different, and championing their diversity, combined with attributes such as agility, flexibility, a learning mindset, and an openness to new ideas, leaders are building the foundation for counteracting personal and organisational biases.

What Inclusive Leadership Can Do for Your Organisation

Organisations that are led by engaged and actively inclusive leaders typically experience:

An increased sense of belonging throughout the organisation

Leaders that are dedicated to inclusion make sure that everyone feels valued, respected, and an integral part of their organisation.

Greater employee satisfaction and loyalty

Because inclusive leaders make everyone feel safe, connected and included, employees feel inspired, driven to be the best they can be, and loyal to the organization and its purpose.

Enhanced Innovation

Inclusive leadership builds workplaces where people can be their authentic selves, share diverse ideas, and experiment with new ways of doing things, freely unleashing the potential for new, creative, and innovative solutions.

Superior performance

Inclusive leaders are intent on attracting and retaining diverse talent which will bring them the diversity of thought the organisation needs to make the most robust decisions and for teams to reach their optimal level of performance
