Creating a truly inclusive workplace goes beyond traditional diversity metrics. It requires a meaningful, sustained commitment to fostering belonging, openness, and equality. As part of our Inclusion by Default campaign with ABConnexions, we at Yohlar are committed to advancing diversity and inclusion by introducing tools like our Inclusive Innovation Framework (IIF).
Research shows that companies embracing diversity and inclusion are over twice as likely to be world-class innovators, yet many organisations struggle to turn their policies into everyday practices. Our IIF is designed to bridge this gap by embedding inclusion at every level of your organisation in an actionable, person-centred way. With the IIF, businesses can move past "checkbox" diversity initiatives, creating a culture where everyone feels genuinely included.
Why the Inclusive Innovation Framework?
The IIF is built on Yohlar’s Power of 3 model, which integrates three core principles:
Use The Yohlar Toolkit From Design Thinking to Business Model Innovation, the toolkit empowers teams to implement inclusion-focused innovation. Workshops guide employees in applying these tools effectively, helping companies identify and address gaps in their inclusion efforts.
Gain a Yohlar Skillset Our training equips participants with skills to utilise these methodologies within their roles. Each exercise in the IIF is purposefully designed to deepen understanding, resulting in practical actions that support justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) across the organisation.
Adopt the Yohlar Mindset A shift in mindset is essential to sustaining change. The IIF workshops are structured to cultivate a proactive approach towards inclusive practices, fostering an environment where continuous improvement is part of the company’s DNA.
Measuring Inclusion for Real Impact
To help businesses gauge their progress, Yohlar offers a 1-minute survey, generating an Inclusion Score and customised report on your current inclusivity status. This score gives companies tangible insights and is a vital first step towards creating an impactful action plan.
