Foster a psychologically safe environment 

Diverse teams drive innovation and revenue by incorporating different perspectives. However, if they aren’t truly inclusive, then all that potential gets muted as marginalized groups will feel psychologically unsafe sharing ideas and taking risks.  To avoid that, create a psychologically safe environment. Establish ground rules where everyone’s voice matters, regardless of seniority or demographics. In addition, shut down insensitive statements, openly recognize prejudice in society at large, and seek input from those who are less vocal. When psychological safety is cultivated, employee engagement and performance are known to thrive.
