'Does Inclusion really matter' we were asked this week. Short answer is Yes.. When employees feel valued and respected, they’ll reward you with greater engagement, higher productivity and team collaboration. Performance goes up, absence goes down. Winner-winner! So, how can you boost inclusion: here's our #toptips 👉Create an inclusion policy so everyone is clear on expected behaviour. 👉Train your managers - equip them with the skills to lead inclusively, including tackling unconscious bias. 👉Review recruitment strategies - audit your approach to eliminate bias and reach diverse talent pools. Ask us about our FREE recruitment audit. 👉 Listen to your employees and show you're listening, then act on the results! Inclusion isn’t a one-and-done deal; it’s an ongoing process that takes time and effort - but the results are well worth it!

Have you seen this case 👀👀 So many take aways... but the key being: 👇Reasonable adjustments could include offering a phased return to work, allowing more frequent rest breaks, allowing a period of time for the employee to work from home 👇Having an open dialogue with the employee around what they need #reasonableadjustments #opendialogue #outsourcedHR

DID YOU KNOW... UK employees can now make flexible working requests from day one of their employment? The Flexible Working (Amendment) Regulations came into effect on 6 April 2024, we at Cinnamon HR Consultancy have seen a HUGE increase in employees actively asking to work more flexibly. This has lead to SO many questions and concerns … 🔸How do you get the right balance for your organisation? 🔸How do you offer flexibility while ensuring fairness? 🔸How do you offer flexibility without employees taking advantage? Our #TopTips : ✔Flexible working policy - develop a policy that communicates your expectations. ✔Consider implementing core hours for availability - this can provide structure for meetings, team updates and other core activities, while allowing your employees the flexibility to juggle managing caring responsibilities or a gym visit. ✔Set expectations - be transparent from the outset about the level of flexibility your organisation can offer, including in job advertisements and on your company website. ✔Create a culture of trust - place value on output and results, rather than hours worked or location. This encourages a healthy balance between productivity and wellbeing. ✔Review regularly - gather feedback how are your flexible working policies and initiatives working - for you and the individual. We're here to help you ensure that flexible working runs smoothly...
