When seeking more teamwork and innovation, we may believe that our answer is to create a “culture of genius.” Yet as author and keynote speaker, Prof. Mary Murphy explains in her book, "Cultures of Growth," we might be better served in creating workspaces where curiosity, learning and inclusion are the norm. But putting theory into practice isn’t always as easy as it seems. That is why the Lab turned to key members of our Corporate Program to brainstorm and discuss common barriers and workable solutions to foster a growth mindset culture. This article outlines ways to identify practices that reinforce a growth mindset approach, as well as strategies to foster a learning approach. For example, in job descriptions, instead of including “We hire only the best candidates,” try “We are interested in hiring top candidates who are dedicated to ongrowing growth.” With these practical steps, and others included in the article, we can indeed create more inclusive and innovative workspaces.

Transgender and nonbinary Americans continue to experience discrimination and harassment in many areas, according to the first release of early insights from the 2022 US Trans Survey (USTS) published this week by the National Center for Transgender Equality, authored by Sandy E. James, Jody L. Herman, Ph.D., Laura Durso, and Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen. The 2022 USTS is the largest and most comprehensive survey ever completed of transgender and nonbinary Americans, with over 92,000 people responding. Employers, take note: 11% of those USTS respondents who have been employed report having lost a job because of their gender identity or expression, and 18% reported being unemployed, a rate more than 14 points higher than that of the general population in 2022. Those employers wise enough to adopt trans-inclusive policies and cultural practices may, therefore, be at a highly competitive advantage for attracting and retaining this segment of the workforce into the future. If your business is ready to become a premier employer for inclusion of transgender and nonbinary employees (as well as others), Exponential Talent’s team of experts are here to help.
