Question

Options

• AConsider providing everyone at the next staff event with pens and notebooks with the UniCo logo
• BDefine in early key messages how the inclusion of Selco links to the strategic repositioning of
• CEncourage the team from Selco to continue to use their old logo as a way of maintaining some
• DProvide opportunities for staff who had volunteered to act as mentors during the Change
• EInvite those staff who are asking questions about the Change Programme proposals to suggest

Explanation

The correct answer field appears blank in your question, but based on Hodges' engagement principles and the context of the UniCo/Selco Change Programme, B and E are the two actions that best demonstrate inclusivity.

B demonstrates inclusivity by explicitly communicating how Selco staff are valued and integrated into the strategic vision - it signals belonging and purpose, making the acquired group feel they are part of the future, not just absorbed into it.

E demonstrates inclusivity by inviting questioning staff to contribute suggestions, giving them an active voice rather than treating them as passive recipients of change - this is the hallmark of inclusive engagement: participation, not just communication.

Why the others are wrong:

• A (branded merchandise) is a communication/identity tactic, not an inclusivity measure - it reinforces the acquiring company's brand rather than creating a sense of shared belonging.
• C (keeping old logo) might seem inclusive but actually risks separating rather than integrating the Selco team - it maintains division rather than building a unified identity.
• D (mentor opportunities) relates to empowerment or volunteer engagement, not specifically inclusivity - it rewards those already participating rather than broadening participation.

Memory tip: For inclusivity questions, look for actions that open the door to people who might otherwise feel excluded (E) or that explicitly name and value a group's membership in the change (B). If an option keeps groups separate or focuses on branding, it's not inclusivity.
