Why NUANCE matters
to organizational culture
Fostering an inclusive culture of belonging means balancing the differences across microcultures and aligning them to your larger organizational culture values.
Intended vs
Permitted
Sometimes, the culture you try to foster may not be the same as the reality your employees experience.
You need to know if:
-
your employees’ culture experience matches with your intended culture
or
-
if the permitted culture conflicts with your intent.
Macro vs Microcultures
Just like an ecosystem is made up of all the different animals and plants living in it, your organization’s overall macroculture consists of distinct microcultures across offices and departments.
​
You need to know if your organization's microcultures:
-
align to your intended macroculture
-
work in harmony to create an inclusive culture of belonging
Intersectionality
Each person holds more than one identity that can include:
​
-
Race
-
Gender
-
Sexual orientation
-
Religion
-
Disability
-
Socio-economic background
To foster an inclusive culture of belonging, you need to address all forms of systemic inequality that exist within your organization to prevent one from reinforcing another.
