How can companies ensure that interdepartmental meetings are not only productive in fostering collaboration and innovation, but also inclusive of diverse perspectives and voices within the organization?

Companies can ensure that interdepartmental meetings are productive and inclusive by establishing clear meeting objectives and agendas that encourage collaboration and innovation. They should also create a safe and inclusive environment where all employees feel comfortable sharing their perspectives and ideas. Additionally, companies can rotate meeting facilitators to ensure that different voices are heard and consider implementing diversity and inclusion training to promote awareness and understanding among team members. Regular feedback sessions can also be helpful in identifying any areas for improvement in promoting diversity and inclusivity within interdepartmental meetings.
