This blog will tell you why diversity and inclusion are important, how to create a culture of respect, and build a bond with your team. Let’s see how a video conferencing camera can aid this process.

Why are Diversity and Inclusion Important to Workplaces?

In a business sense, diversity is about bringing employees together from different backgrounds and experiences so they can work together productively. Meanwhile, inclusion means employees feel like they’re welcome, appreciated, and valued.

There are several reasons why building a diverse and inclusive workplace is important, but mostly, it will help your business have better and more successful campaigns and projects. If a campaign is driven by individuals who come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, it will likely be more successful than a campaign driven by individuals who are the same.

Provide All-In-One Video Conferencing Equipment for Communication

Truly, communication is a key factor in building a diverse and inclusive work environment. When talking about remote communication, you can never go wrong with Coolpo AI Huddle Pana and Coolpo AI Huddle Mini as your all-in-one video conferencing cameras.

Building diversity and inclusion is easier with these video conferencing cameras because it lets you and your team members have an equal opportunity to speak and to be seen. Everybody deserves the spotlight.

The Pana requires 3-15 meeting participants in a small- to medium-sized video conferencing room. Every team member has a frame or panel that lets other team members see them including their facial expressions and gestures (Mini).

Also, active participants during the meeting are tracked and followed by the AI. It means that whenever you, the speaker, speak, the AI will focus on you and follows you wherever you go within the meeting room.
