From a celebrity guest speaker to a range of inspiring activities, our people have got stuck into celebrating National Inclusion Week. But inclusion is an all-year round commitment, and one that we are supporting with the roll out of our Inclusion Strategy. Some of the outcomes from the strategy so far include: 💡 The launch of the EQUAL Champions Network, which comprises individuals from across the business who are committed to championing inclusion and diversity. 💡 The roll out of Inclusive Leadership training to many of our senior leaders, to help inclusion be prioritised at all levels. 💡 Inclusion and wellbeing roadshows across the business, to give all of our people the chance to join in the discussion no matter which site they work on. 💡 Ongoing focus groups, to help us understand the experiences of our people and ensure we continue striving to be the most inclusive employer we can be. How are you choosing to Take Action and Make Impact this National Inclusion Week? #TakeActionMakeImpact #NationalInclusionWeek

"Amy from IT can't use our own product, because it is not compatible with her screen reader💻. I think we should solve this problem with...." I can't remember the exact example story shared by Yves Veulliet during Diversity Network's inclusion festival🎆 But the overall idea really stuck with me. Why not ask members of your employee resource groups to test your own products for accessibility and inclusion? Then you can go to your senior leaders with real stories about real people to advocate for building more accessible products? ✅ Senior leader engagement ✅ ERG engagement ✅ Better products

The Cornell University Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Symposium this week has been full of insights and ideas that have been so helpful! Key takeaways include the importance of leaders at all levels being intentional and authentic when including everyone and making them feel valued members of the team. Connecting with people around the world and sharing successes and best practices is a great way to advance ideas of inclusion!

Today is day one of Construction Inclusion Week. Each day we will be discussing an essential component that builds inclusion and some of the events that are happening across our offices this week. Today we are recognizing the importance of commitment and accountability. To fully realize a culture of inclusion and belonging requires both leadership commitment and accountability to ourselves and others. Neither leadership nor accountability are top-down but rather shared responsibilities that each of us regardless of role, title or position can actively demonstrate. We must all be leaders, model the behavior we want to see in others and influence others towards the goal of a more inclusive society, and hold ourselves and others accountable to actions that help inspire and achieve that vision. #ConstructionInclusionWeek #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveWorkplaces
