Scenario 3

A team member with a disability is aware that they are never invited to the informal social catch-ups that regularly occur.

Proactive Inclusion

• Invest time in getting to know others in your team or group, beyond the team members you feel an instant connection with
• Seek out points of connection with those where we share fewer obvious similarities
• Prompt yourself to expand your social catch-ups and share an invite to a broader group at different times.

Proactive Inclusion

A team member learns that they have been left off a project meeting invitation.

Promote Transparency

• Include meeting notes from all project meetings centrally, so everyone can view, regardless of whether they were in the sync

Have avenues for feedback & checking in

• Have periodic check-ins with project team members to check how things are going
• review & respond to Peakon feedback

Scenario 2

The contributions of the only woman in the group went unacknowledged but were later credited to a male colleague who restated them.

Proactive Inclusion

• Establish sync norms & practices, including a no-interrupting rule
• Capture contributions in a range of formats, including a miro board or shared document, to reduce the biases of a different voice bringing an idea
• Encourage team members to credit the original contributor of an idea when it is restated.
