Inclusive organizational culture is becoming increasingly relevant in the modern era, where companies must adapt to the diversity of the workforce and increasingly fierce global competition. This study aims to analyze the effect of inclusive organizational culture implementation on employee performance and the company's competitive advantage. The data used is secondary data which includes the level of implementation of inclusive culture, employee performance, company competitive advantage, and the level of employee satisfaction with inclusive culture. The analysis method used is Pearson correlation analysis to test the relationship between variables. The results of the analysis indicate a positive and significant relationship between the implementation of an inclusive organizational culture and employee performance. The higher the level of inclusive culture implementation, the better employee performance is achieved. This finding indicates that an inclusive culture creates a work environment that stimulates and supports creativity, which has a positive impact on employee productivity and dedication. In addition, the analysis also revealed a significant positive relationship between the implementation of an inclusive organizational culture and the company's competitive advantage. Companies that prioritize inclusive values have advantages in facing competition in the market, such as product or service innovation, superior product quality, customer satisfaction, and corporate reputation. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between the implementation of an inclusive organizational culture and the level of employee satisfaction with the culture. Employees feel more satisfied and comfortable working in companies that implement an inclusive culture, which contributes to better employee retention and increased loyalty to the company. It can be concluded that building an inclusive organizational culture has a positive impact on employee performance, company competitive advantage, and employee satisfaction levels.
