What is meant by the term ‘an inclusive learning and development culture?
An inclusive learning is a kind of environment that provides a welcoming environment
for all kinds of learners have equal rights of learning by fulfilling their basic learning needs and
requirements (Gouthro, Taber and Brazil, 2018). The main goal of inclusive learning is to
provide learning opportunity to everyone without any kind of inequality or discrimination.
Whereas development culture is a kind of process of enabling all kinds of cultural activities for
realization of desired future especially for a community or an organization which is culturally
rich and vibrant.
How might Hightown Housing develop an inclusive learning and development
culture?
Hightown Housing can become a inclusive learning organization by facilitating learning
on the basis of unique abilities and proficiencies for their diverse range of people working for
them by focusing upon their needs for working within their organization (Welford, ed., 2016).
This will help Hightown Housing in increasing efficiency of their workers and they will be able
to contribute more towards their goals. Whereas, Hightown Housing can develop a development
culture within their organization by determining and understanding different kinds of employees
working for them and understanding their cultural background. They can also focus upon
understanding ways in which employees and management interact with each other, handle
business operations.
Identify the factors which should be considered when implementing an
inclusive learning and development culture in Hightown Housing?
Key factors that are required to be considered when implementing inclusive learning and
development culture within Hightown Housing are as follows:
 Development of an inclusive learning policy for employees or workers is one of the most
important key factors which is required to be focused upon when implementing an inclusive
learning (Everett and Oswald, 2018). This policy will help in articulating and supporting
inclusive learning
 Provide proper training to all the employees for inclusive learning and development culture.

 Positive values should be demonstrated by leaders or top management staff of Hightown
Housing so that everyone feels welcomes and part of organization. This can be done by
developing an inclusive learning and development culture vision.
 In order to implement development culture it is important for Hightown Housing to adopt a
common language so that different languages do not become a barrier in development culture
and employees can easily carry out conversation with each other.
