New DCA knowledge programs to build cultural intelligence in the workplace
|
| |
We know that for workplaces to be both culturally and multi-faith inclusive, we need culturally intelligent leaders and team members. To support workplaces in building cultural intelligence for workplace inclusion, we are excited to announce two new tailored knowledge programs: |
- Leading with Cultural Intelligence: Created for people managers, team leaders, senior and C-suite executives, this 2-hour program equips managers with the mindsets, behaviours and tools to create psychologically safe, culturally responsive, and faith‑inclusive teams.
-
Cultural Intelligence for Multicultural and Multifaith Teams: This 90-minute program equips team members with the mindsets, behaviours and tools needed to build more inclusive multicultural and multifaith teams, enhancing psychological safety and effective team collaboration in the workplace.

Why cultural intelligence matters now more than ever in the workplace
|
|
|
|
Australian workplaces are not insulated from the world around them. Global conflict, migration, rising faith‑based discrimination, social polarisation, and misinformation increasingly shape the realities that employees face in the workplace each day. At the same time, organisations are increasingly more culturally and religiously diverse than ever before. These realities place a new and urgent demand on leaders: the ability to work effectively, fairly, safely and respectfully across cultural and faith differences.
In a globalised world and workforce, cultural intelligence is no longer optional, but a core leadership capability that underpins inclusion, psychological safety, performance, wellbeing, engagement and trust. This recent blog from Phoebe Mwanza, Head of Education at DCA, explores why cultural intelligence matters now more than ever in the workplace. |

Neurodiversity at work: are you using inclusive language?
|
| |
|
As Australian workplaces increasingly focus on neuroinclusion, establishing a shared understanding of commonly used language and key terms is essential. Clear, respectful and accessible language helps build awareness, reduce stigma, and create a stronger foundation for inclusive policy and practice. |
