Words have power. They shape perceptions, influence cultures, and can either include or exclude.

In today's global workplace, ensuring the language we use is inclusive isn't just about being politically correct. It's about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and understood.

But how do you tread this fine line in language?

First, understand the evolving nature of language. Terms and phrases that were common a decade ago may now be considered outdated or insensitive. Your employer brand needs to commit to continuous learning and stay updated with the language that respects all individuals.

Second, listen more than you speak. Pay attention to how individuals refer to themselves and respect their preferences. This includes pronouns, names, and titles.

Third, encourage feedback. Creating an inclusive environment is a journey, not a destination. Encourage colleagues and teams to provide feedback on how language and communication can be improved both internally and externally

Lastly, leverage the power of inclusive language training. Many organisations now offer training sessions dedicated to fostering inclusivity through language. Invest in these resources, especially for hiring.

Remember, inclusive language is not about censorship. It's about understanding, respect, and empathy.

Let’s challenge ourselves to be mindful of the words we choose.
