Buffer's Inclusive Language Guide for Startups and Tech. Here are some great examples to get you started: Our inclusive language guides at HubSpot have sections on Gender, LGBTQIA+, Race, Ethnicity, Culture, and Accessibility. If your team doesn't have an inclusive language guide, we suggest you create one. For example, you can add terms from an inclusive language guide to your Better Allies Slackbot. While an inclusive language guide won't help you automate this process, you can use this resource to inform your automation process. The goal is to use more inclusive language that doesn't have biases, slang, or discriminatory terms. Inclusive Language GuidesĪn inclusive language guide is a document that will advise you on terms to avoid and alternative terms to use. With this tool, I can put those words in the Slackbot and then include suggestions for myself to use instead. You can even customize the tool by adding your own words to avoid and alternate suggestions.įor example, I want to remove the words "guys" and "crazy" from my vocabulary. The Slackbot will automatically flag non-inclusive language and make alternate suggestions. This book can help you spot situations where you can create more inclusive culture. 
The tool was inspired by the book Better Allies by Karen Catlin. This Slackbot can help you shift your language to be more inclusive.
During an allyship meeting at HubSpot, we discussed tools that help people use more inclusive language.Ī colleague brought up a Slackbot, Better Allies.
