“Make your workplace a place that everybody is happy at. That's one that goes unsaid a lot. When they're happy in their relationship with their teammates, it's more likely that they're happy in their jobs.” —Kelsey Bishop
Facing barriers when working in a team where one does not feel part of it is an unfortunate reality in many companies. Astonishingly, this kind of adverse company culture is accepted and ingrained as the norm.
However, it’s high time we shift from this perspective. A workplace should be a warm and welcoming place where everyone can put forth their most authentic selves. So how can company leaders rethink this glaring issue and cultivate an accepting company culture?
