I think most people have experienced a time where they felt excluded, and the effects can have major impacts on people's lives. It's great to see more of a focus on diversity and inclusion in the community and in workplaces. You go to work to do a job, and no one should feel excluded at their workplace. There are so many stories of WA businesses who are making great progress in D&I, like BHP, and I feel so thrilled to help put those stories in the spotlight. Let's celebrate WA businesses who are making strides in D&I and raising the bar of what's expected in the workplace.

Aside from the fact that inclusion in Engineering is something we should be encouraging from a human perspective, given the reduction in the employment pool that many businesses in the sector are currently suffering inclusion and diversity is an open route to a whole new community of potential colleagues. The question is how to reach or accomodate people who would not normally see our trades as a route for them. Alongside opening the eyes of young people we must think about attracting people into a second career in Engineering through later life training and engagement with communities that we have not yet connected to. The people for us are out there, we just need to think wider than we have before.

ChangemakerXchange Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Event. As a member of CXC , I am organizing a local conversation around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with a focus on the workplace. I believe Diversity, Equity and inclusion must come from within, from the needs of people and innate leadership, in order to avoid resistance and a cultural pushback. As such during our local meet-up we will be having conversations around, What are the conditions needed in order to soften and open ourselves up as individuals and groups to consider DEI practices? And reflect upon our levels of DEI as an individual and in our work place? What is the current reality in our organisations / communities to DEI, we will harvest our discussion and share it globally. To RSVP: https://lnkd.in/d7r8BWFk *Its a small group meeting for only 30 Participants* #dei #diversity #inclusion #equity
