How can companies ensure that interdepartmental meetings not only improve collaboration and innovation, but also promote diversity and inclusion within their teams?

Companies can ensure that interdepartmental meetings improve collaboration, innovation, and promote diversity and inclusion by setting clear goals and objectives for each meeting that focus on these aspects. They can also create a safe and inclusive environment where all team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas and perspectives. Additionally, companies can encourage diverse participation by rotating meeting facilitators and including team members from different departments in decision-making processes. Finally, providing training on unconscious bias and promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives within the organization can help ensure that interdepartmental meetings are inclusive and productive.
