  Since the fall of communism, 1 May is officially celebrated as just a plain Labour Day – that is without a specific connotation: not communist anymore and not even leftist. It is a day, when we demonstrate our respect for human effort and workers’ rights. For us in Vastint, Labour Day is every day, as each and every day we show this respect: namely when we design, build, fit out modern offices and manage them. For us work is far more than just a place at a desk. It is rather a space where you spend most of the day, so we make sure you have all your needs met: have easy access to ATN, canteen, shower and relaxation zones including outdoor chess boards, sports zone, places to interact and seek inspiration amongst a town garden, to have a creative break and small talk over lunch. And this is how we celebrate the Labour Day every day. Not only on May 1st.   #ProjectbyVastint #VastintPoland #MayDay #1MajaSwietoPracy #InternationalWorkersDay #LabourDay #VastintOffices #biuroVastint #szacunek #praca #respect

"the hon. Lady is the jam in the centre of the doughnut, and I am the heavy, leavened dough that surrounds the hon. Lady’s jam." If you want to know what Jacob Rees-Mogg thinks of #lowtrafficneighourhoods, and why doughnuts might be relevant to that - read on! (Spoiler, he's not mad keen on them.) Actually some very useful contributions here from a range of politicians highlighting what works in terms of modal filters, and perhaps some areas where we need more research. Some especially useful reflections from Ruth Cadbury MP on work that I kicked off in #westLondon to reduce through traffic on residential roads in Chiswick, Brentford and Isleworth. Key takeaway is that there isn't likely to be a one size fits all solution, and a mix of hard closures and smart traffic management solutions such as ANPR enforced permit controlled access points for residents are likely to be required to develop an optimum scheme - particularly in areas with higher car mode share like #outerlondon. The main issue raised again and again in this debate is around a need for more #engagement, particularly with more vulnerable population groups. Very few professionals I know were happy at having to implement these sorts of projects "within weeks" during the early months of a global pandemic, largely precluding a proper conversation with the community. I think that this government mandated pace, and the scale of change across a wide geography rather than on a site by site basis as had previously been the case for #trafficmanagement schemes of this nature, are the main causes of angst in this space. As Ruth notes, previous road closure schemes, whilst often locally contentious, have not typically led to widespread community concern, and certainly not debates like this in parliament. The fact that very few residents living in historic #LTNs would want existing closures reversed suggests we generally get these things right. As we move towards a more considered and collaborative process of managing moving traffic post pandemic, I hope that we can get back to a more rationale debate around how we best mitigate high traffic flows on residential roads. Hopefully that also happens at the right level (#localgovernment) and not necessitating valuable parliamentary time. #transportplanning

The addition of #HelpEnterprises to the #IntoWork group allowed senior leaders from WA, Tasmania, Victoria and New Zealand experience CEO Denver Fresser talk passionately about the history and impact that Help enterprises has on the Brisbane economy, supporting people with a disability lead their most fulfilling lives. Help’s Eagle Farm facilities were showcased to the EELP group last week. We all got to experience a tour through the sheds and engaged with the employees, learnt the mechanics of commercial production and saw what purchase for #purpose means. Helps alignment to IntoWorks ethos around integrated Employment, Education & Training and Support services was seen when we got a sneak peak at some of the incredible products the team produce, assemble and pack. We saw everything from clothing, metal construction in latterboxes and bin covers, bathroom vanities, Ekka showbags (and my favourite) the chip line! I have a very personal connection to supported employment and wholeheartedly believe it’s a critically important option for many seeking to fulfil their potential in a safe and meaningful way allowing a persons ability to be showcased in a work environment. Denver’s passion to ensure that Help is a stepping stone to open employment left a lasting impression on us all and opened my mind to how we can support the training and qualification pathways for these incredibly talented workers! #VibrantFutures #OneDoorToMany #Disability #SocialEnterprise #NationalLeaders #SiteTour #PurchaseWithPurpose #SupportedEmployment #DisabilityEmployment #NDIS #NFP
