National Inclusion Week is here!! And this year’s theme, “Impact Matters,” couldn’t be more relevant. In a world that often feels divided, it’s crucial to remember that every single one of us has the power to make a difference. When we create inclusive environments, we not only foster a sense of belonging but also unlock the full potential of our teams. Diverse teams are 35% more likely to outperform their competitors and are 1.7 times more likely to be innovation leaders. These statistics highlight the undeniable business benefits of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. Let’s commit to making a positive impact together. By challenging biases, celebrating differences, and actively promoting inclusion, we can create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best. Remember, inclusion isn’t just a corporate buzzword; it’s a fundamental human right. Let’s work together to build a more equitable and inclusive world. #NationalInclusionWeek #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #Impact #WorkplaceCulture #neurodiversity #impactmatters #leadership #strategy #management

It's National Inclusion Week 2024, led by Inclusive Employers ✨ This year, it’s all about ‘Impact Matters’. An important theme, not only for us, but across the entire digital industry. It’s a topic that concerns everyone, everywhere - from leaders to individual team members. Each one of us has the potential to make a positive impact, to help create an environment where everyone feels accepted, respected, listened to and valued. Inclusion is not just a HR job, it's part of everyone's job. But it does, of course, require open conversations, transparency, curiosity and accountability in leadership. This is a good opportunity for us all to truly evaluate how we can take meaningful action for genuine, sustainable change to create a more inclusive industry for everyone 💬 For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eVQXHu5X #impactmatters #nationalinclusionweek #leadership #inclusion #diversity #dei #NIW2024 #digitalagency

“Diversity is being invited to the party, inclusion is being a part of the party planning committee” – Daniel Juday, M.Ed, C.D.P. Today, as we celebrate Diversity Day, I’m reminded of how important it is to not just talk about diversity but also prioritise inclusion as the starting point. Many organisations use the term I&D—Inclusion and Diversity—because progress begins when we ensure everyone is part of the conversation and the decision-making process. Equity, of course, is the crucial piece that ensures we provide fair chances to those from less privileged backgrounds. It’s not about giving everyone the same, but about giving each person what they need to succeed. In my work, inclusive leadership has been a central theme. Today, I had the privilege of working with a team who shared their personal stories and reflections on what inclusive leadership means to them. It was a beautiful reminder that leadership isn’t just about being in charge—it’s about being open, conscious, and committed to helping others thrive. Let’s take a moment today to celebrate diversity and deepen our commitment to inclusion and equity in our workplaces, communities, and beyond. #DiversityDay #Inclusion #Equity #InclusiveLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment

When leaders commit to inclusivity, they not only strengthen their teams but also drive sustainable success. A resilient organisation is one where every member feels valued and empowered, leading to greater engagement, creativity, and overall performance. In this way, inclusivity is not just a nice-to-have; it is a fundamental pillar of resilient leadership.

🌍✨ Did you know it’s National Inclusion Week? At Resilient Women Leaders, Skye Deane and I believe that true resilience in leadership starts with inclusivity. When we talk about the Resilient Leaders Elements Framework, we emphasise that inclusive employers are built on the foundation of inclusive colleagues. To make a real impact, it’s essential to foster empathy and cultivate inclusive attitudes among team members. Creating supportive environments isn’t just about policies; it’s also about actions. Staff network groups, reverse mentorship, and sharing lived experiences play a pivotal role in this journey. Let’s not forget the power of courageous conversations—they can open doors to understanding and growth! Together, we can create spaces where every colleague feels valued and empowered to develop their inclusive mindset. Let’s celebrate National Inclusion Week by committing to these practices and championing a workplace where everyone thrives!

We’re excited to take part in #ConstructionInclusionWeek from October 14-18! This week is dedicated to driving change in our industry and fostering a more inclusive culture on every job site and in every office. Day One: Inclusion & Belonging To foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, we must recognize that leadership and accountability are shared responsibilities. Leadership is about influencing others toward a common goal, while accountability means owning our actions and their impact on our communities. In the realm of diversity, equity, and inclusion, each of us plays a vital role. Let’s lead by example, model desired behaviors, and hold ourselves and each other accountable for creating an inclusive society. #Leadership #Accountability #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #Teamwork

As a Latino leader who has worked my way up the corporate ladder, I’ve experienced the profound impact that diversity, equity, and inclusion can have in the workplace. Inclusion is about more than just having a seat at the table; it’s about ensuring that every voice, especially those who may feel unheard, is not only welcomed but valued. My own journey has been shaped by resilience in the face of adversity, but I know that no one achieves success alone. Along the way, it’s the support of allies and advocates that has made all the difference. Now more than ever, it’s crucial that we continue to stand as allies for those who may not yet have a voice. Let’s actively work to build more inclusive teams where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, grow, and thrive. Together, we can create workplaces that not only celebrate our differences but use them to drive innovation and success. By supporting one another and fostering environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging, we elevate ourselves and our communities. When we uplift others, we build a stronger, more inclusive future for everyone. #DiversityEquityAndInclusion #LatinoLeadership #Allyship #InclusiveTeams #CommunityGrowth #Resilience #Empowerment #Leadership
