4. Growing Inclusive Leaders

The final workplace wellness trend we hope to see is a focus on inclusive leadership. We think that, this year, the focus will move past the basics of D, E, & I and move towards creating a strong inclusive leadership team.  Of course, if you don’t have the basics, every company should start there.
