🎉 Celebrating National Day for Staff Networks! 🎉 At Principality Building Society, our staff networks are more than just groups of people – they're vibrant communities that make our workplace a better, more inclusive environment. I often read in guides and books that this is the remit of a staff network - but personally, I disagree. Here at Principality, our networks are supported by the leaders of our organization, which means that they have an impact beyond scale and input into delivering our strategy. We are empowered to lead on initiatives and feed into a number of things across our organization. Some examples of this would be the delivery of our carbon awareness training to the whole organization, written and delivered by our very own Planet-Friendly Network. The diversity of thought that goes into policies and procedures makes Principality a leader in areas like our family-friendly policy, flexible working, and Carers leave. Our sponsorship of Pride Cymru, which we are immensely proud of, is driven by our inclusion manager, brand team, and Pride Network. And our annual Network Open Day is an opportunity for the whole company to learn more, have some time away from the desk, and come meet some pretty awesome people! As someone who helps shape our network strategy, I'm continually inspired by the dedication of my colleagues. They not only excel in their day-to-day roles but also commit themselves to the success of their networks, embodying the true spirit of collaboration and community. I couldn't be prouder of the work we do, and I encourage everyone to recognize the power of their networks. Together, we can create a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. If anyone would like to learn more about our Networks, feel free to comment or message me. We are always looking to share our experience with others so we can all continue to learn together. Happy National Day for Staff Networks! 🌟 #PrincipalityNetworks #Inclusion #Diversity #Empowerment

Starting an employee resource group (ERG) is easier than you think. Begin by asking essential questions as a team, such as why the ERG exists, what success looks like, and who the executive sponsors are. Create a roadmap of activities beyond cultural celebrations, incorporating education, community events, and consistent communication. This #Insperity blog walks you through starting an ERG: https://lnkd.in/gVqHKGS7. #EmployeeResourceGroups #Benefits #HRThatMakesADifference https://lnkd.in/gUbk7Chr

One of the ways organizations can implement inclusion, is through employee learning and development around neurodiversity, accessibility, and inclusion. What might this look like? Examples of diversity and inclusion training can include: • Learning about why diversity matters • Understanding unconscious bias and its effects on workplace interactions • Providing employees with an overall understanding of neurodiversity and inclusion, and the easy accommodations one can do to make an employee feel supported Want more resources?
