INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE TOOLKIT
How do you foster an equitable environment and remain conscious and respectful of the people within it? What language is appropriate to ensure an inclusive environment thrives in the workplace?
To address these questions, Holistic’s Inclusive Language Toolkit (updated July 2021) is a PDF that provides guidance for generally accepted tips and terms to use when engaging in discussion surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage you to view and distribute this toolkit to employees and leaders in your organization to familiarize and inform themselves.
Our goal is to help equip people with language to initiate unfamiliar conversations and open lines of communication. However, we recognize this is complex and multifaceted. We are always continuing to learn and grow in this space and are receptive to feedback.
If you have an additional idea for a term that is not on this list, please share with us at info@holisticindex.com.
