In a recent agency workshop, we discussed the idea of 'accidental exclusion' when it comes to recruitment, retention and people development. These are the things that employers do, often out of habit, that are likely to exclude underrepresented groups. Here are just some of the examples we discussed. ❌Recruiting for ‘cultural fit’ ❌Treating recruitment as a ‘challenge’ ❌Limited recruitment channels ❌Not sharing info on recruitment process ❌Not indicating salary ❌Restrictive requirements e.g. Degree ❌Restrictive networking and events e.g. always out of work hours ❌Vague job descriptions and expectations ❌Unclear development criteria How many of these is your business guilty of? #Inclusion #InclusiveRecruitment #PeopleDevelopment

Over the last few weeks, the UK has witnessed a series of urban conflicts. Facilitated by far-right groups on social media, these conflicts in over 15 UK cities represent the worst race-hate riots the UK has witnessed in over 50 years. Join our webinar on October 3rd when Dan Robertson will be asking - How does the rise of identity politics impact workplace culture and wider DE&I efforts? - What role and responsibilities do employers have in protecting employees from hate speech both at work and in society at large? - Where are the boundaries for social media usage by employees? - How do employers begin to integrate a programme of corporate cohesion with their DE&I approach? - How can HR and DE&I professionals help to move the dial towards a more comprehensive approach to inclusion management by on the principles of fairness for all? It's a big topic, but one we must be talking about. This isn't going away. #diversity #inclusion #DEI #HRevent #UKriots #DEIB

Will Job Share Finally Become Commonplace? Over the past ten years, I have worked hard with corporate and public sector to break barriers, create successful partnerships, and coach new pairs embarking on this collaborative journey. Unfortunately, job sharing has remained a niche arrangement—interesting but hardly the mainstream solution many had hoped it would become. In the wake of Covid-19, as the world leaned into more flexible work arrangements and trends like the 4-day workweek, I questioned whether job sharing had been leapfrogged by these new models. However, a recent announcement by Melbourne women Lucy Bradlow and Bronwen Bock of their plan to run for federal parliament as independent "job-sharing candidates"—has remind me of the unique value of job sharing. Their attempt to bring job sharing to such a high-pressure, high-visibility arena underlines the still untapped potential of this work arrangement. It is particularly suited for roles that can never be part-time, where the demands are too great for one person to manage alongside personal commitments. Job sharing brings not only resilience but enhanced productivity through shared problem solving and accountability towards each other. Working with job share CEOs and directors, I have witnessed firsthand how job sharing can not only succeed but also thrive at the highest levels of leadership. I hopeful Lucy Bradlow and Bronwen Bock can pave the way for others in public sector and beyond. Maybe job share will finally become commonplace.
