Creating an Inclusive Workplace Culture

Psychological safety and employee engagement are essential for attracting, selecting, developing, and retaining the best staff in all professions. Likewise, making sure that the workplace feels safe for your staff and patients is extremely important and will increase overall quality of care. On the other hand, examining challenges at the organizational level will provide a more comprehensive picture of how workplace biases impede employee and organizational development. Furthermore, research demonstrates that considering others’ perspectives is a beneficial habit for both lowering stereotypic prejudices and encouraging creativity.

Types of Bias and How to Mitigate Bias

There are several types of bias that occur and may be taking place within your healthcare practice. These include stereotypes, blind spots, confirmation bias, affinity bias, and groupthink. Each of these biases are outlined further in the course, but all may create negative feelings in amongst coworkers and patients. In order to dispel these biases, we must create a more diverse and inclusive environment. Building awareness is the first step, but trying to become aware of our implicit associations and modifying our behaviors accordingly are crucial, as well.
