Creating an inclusive work culture can be difficult if you don’t know where to start. It’s such an important task; how do you best respect and encourage the diversity and inclusion of everyone in your workplace? One of the most effective ways to keep talented employees is to make sure they feel represented and valued. This is a long-term effort that needs to be prioritized every day and updated consistently.

Dependability and communication are essential traits in team members. When these falter or do not exist, it can lead to a breakdown in group trust. While long-term projects typically support relationship building, short-term projects may not allow the time for personal relationships to grow. However, a commitment to shared goals and to one another allows stronger bonds to develop among team members, no matter the duration of the project.
