Research has shown that transparency and inclusion are important to employees. However, many organizations have found these two concepts difficult to implement in practice. What do employees really mean when they say they want transparency and inclusion? And what’s the impact when organizations get it right?
Join researchers from the O.C. Tanner Institute for the second installment of our 2026 Global Culture Report webinar series, where we discuss our findings around transparency and inclusion from an employee point of view. You will learn:
- Why employees’ daily experiences are important when it comes to both transparency and inclusion
- Specific strategies for achieving a culture of transparency and inclusion at work
- The impact and ROI when transparency and inclusion are achieved
