Language matters
As pivotal figures in shaping organisational culture, governance professionals understand the powerful role language plays in decision-making and the broader dynamics within the organisation. Leaders are often required to communicate sensitive or complex issues, but without the opportunity to explore the rationale behind evolving language preferences, they may hesitate or fear making missteps that could seem out of touch. This module is designed to demystify inclusive language and transform it into a practical tool for fostering a more inclusive and forward-thinking environment.
Discussion themes
- Examine the risks associated with exclusionary language, including its potential to undermine trust, engagement, and morale within the organisation.
- Gain confidence in addressing evolving language preferences, empowering governance professionals to navigate organisational communication without fear of missteps.
- Explore practical strategies for implementing inclusive language in day-to-day interactions, policy-making, and organisational oversight.
- Identify the role of governance in promoting inclusive language, positioning leaders to set an example for inclusivity at all levels of the organisation.
