It's been a couple months or so since our meet up over in Melbourne, Australia as we transitioned from 🍁 Autumn to Winter ❄ . So, what is the state of play when it comes to diversity in the workplace? According to an article written in 2023 for Harvard Business Review,there are 4 freedoms at work needed for people to flourish no matter what your background is. These freedoms, are a way to truly engage each and every employee, so they feel their workplace is safe and welcoming - the basic foundations to be their best selves. When employees are their best selves, this is when they do their best work. When they do their best work, they feel productive, happy and add value. Here are the freedoms: 💙 The freedom to be authentic 💙 The freedom to grow 💙 The freedom to step back, and 💙 The freedom to fail Granting 'freedom' in all 4 forms, benefits all as well as the business itself. Agree? If you are in Melbourne pop along to our next meet up where we we will discuss this topic. We look forward to seeing you there. https://lnkd.in/g3r-DYZ9

Diversity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in today's workplace are crucial for creating fair and supportive environments. Even though Elon Musk's statement that "DEI needs to DIE" stirred up controversy, it hasn't slowed the efforts of forward-thinking companies that care about removing barriers for some of our most marginalized communities. It's inspiring to know that many companies continue their commitment to DEI despite the doubts. In fact, I'm excited to share that 90% of the companies we worked with last year for DEI training have already planned their initiatives for 2024. And it's only April! And we've been welcoming new partners, like the team at The Forum, highlighting that companies are continuing to centre anti-oppressive practices to have more diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace outcomes. DEI isn't just about checking boxes—it's about creating workspaces where everyone can thrive. To me, acknowledging the future of work is a practice and not a prediction means investing in training employees (at all levels) on how they can contribute to a more affirming workplace. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, remember that DEI isn't just a trend—it's an imperative skillset every employer has to continue to invest in developing. I've consciously tried to avoid getting caught up in divisive debates and instead celebrate companies' strides toward building work that can work for everyone.
