Celebrating National Inclusion Week at McGinley! At McGinley, inclusion is a commitment that lies at the heart of everything we do. As we celebrate National Inclusion Week, we’re proud to reflect on the steps we’ve taken to be an inclusive employer that values diversity and fosters a welcoming workplace for everyone. Our Inclusive Workforce We believe that by embracing people from diverse backgrounds, abilities, genders, ethnicities, and orientations, we can build stronger, more innovative teams. Our workforce reflects the diversity of the communities we serve within the infrastructure sector. From day one, we are committed to ensuring equal opportunities for everyone—whether you are just starting your career or have decades of experience. At McGinley, we know that different perspectives foster a more inclusive and forward-thinking industry. Supporting Diverse Talent Our recruitment processes are designed to break down barriers and open doors for all. We actively promote initiatives that create pathways for underrepresented groups to enter the infrastructure industry. Apprenticeships and pre-employability programmes, along with recruitment processes tailored to encourage women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, prison-leavers, and veterans, are at the core of our talent development strategy. Looking Ahead As we celebrate National Inclusion Week, we recognise that there’s always more to be done. That’s why we remain committed to listening, learning, and growing. At McGinley, inclusion is a continuous journey, and we invite all our employees, partners, and clients to walk that path with us.

Today is #SocialMobilityDay. To be honest, I've not done loads, and that's okay! You don't have to make grand gestures to make a difference, sometimes that difference can be a difference of one. I've checked in on a couple of #NextGenLeaders teams and talked about plans for next year. Our projects focus on areas of low social mobility and use the #SDGs, project-based learning, and business engagement to help communities - whatever our #Changemakers say their community is and this feeds in perfectly to social mobility 😍 I then popped over to Outwood Academy Freeston, Normanton for the afternoon to help with their year 10 careers interviews. I was blown away by how well prepared the students were, they all shook my hand and presented me with their CV before even sitting down - they were fabulous 🤩 #Careers #SDGs #SocialMobility #SocialEquity #SocialMobilityDay #BeTheChange #Education #Access #Diversity #Success #CareerSuccess #LifeSkills #GoodForAll

"I grew up in a middle-class family but became working class" after taking a job at McDonald’s. MP Kemi Badenoch's statement prompts reflection on how we understand class—is it a fluid status that shifts with employment, or a deeper construct influenced by race, privilege, and opportunity? To me, class encompasses more than income or occupation; it’s about the systemic power dynamics that shape access and privilege. While a job change can alter economic status temporarily, it often doesn’t dismantle the structural advantages or disadvantages tied to race and class. Many Black and racialized communities face persistent barriers to economic mobility that extend beyond employment. This raises important questions: Can class be easily moved between, or do race and social background significantly shape opportunities? For those from marginalised backgrounds, shifting class positions isn’t always straightforward due to enduring structural inequalities. How do you define class? Is it solely about job or income, or does it encompass broader factors? I’m interested in hearing thoughts on this topic. #ClassAndRace #SocialMobility #StructuralInequality #Intersectionality

Talent transformation is about capturing the hearts and minds of those who could be the leaders of the future. But what if you can't see them? Karen Orton, our founder, spoke about seeing talent differently this week at the Retail Live, which has been part of our DNA long before Scoutess was formed back in 2017. Creating employability pathways early is the way to unlock part of the hidden workforce, one that will provide a critical source of talent for the Retail and Consumer sector. This is our social promise, to commit fully to changing the future for girls from marginalised backgrounds, unlocking their potential, through work placements and mentoring. Career advice is outdated, work placements aren't fit for purpose, with role modelling a dream for many. The Evalina Foundation is changing that, as we create the biggest work placement movement ever seen! Step 1 - get in touch, let's share the reality and the opportunity. #getting in #getting on #socialmobility #RWGLIVE24

At Path to the Pits, we believe in creating opportunities that empower everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, to thrive in the workforce. This innovative workforce initiative is designed to break barriers to participation in motorsport and the fulfilling careers within the sport. Here's how: ✨ **Empowering Underrepresented Communities**: We're providing tailored training and resources to underrepresented communities, including women, people of color, individuals with disabilities, and veterans, to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in today's workforce. ✨ **Mentorship and Support**: Through mentorship programs and networking opportunities, we're connecting participants with industry professionals who can offer guidance, support, and valuable insights as they navigate their career paths. ✨ **Promoting Inclusive Hiring Practices**: We're partnering with companies committed to diversity and inclusion to facilitate job placements and internships, ensuring that talent is recognized and valued regardless of background. Why is this initiative so important? 💡 **Diversity Drives Innovation**: By embracing diverse perspectives and experiences, we foster a culture of innovation where creativity flourishes, leading to better solutions and outcomes. 🤝 **Equity and Opportunity for All**: Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of race, gender, disability, or socioeconomic status.

I need to rant here, as career advice at school and the subsequent work placement process is rubbish - it's not fit for any purpose! At school I wanted to be a lawyer but was told I'd make a better hairdresser - wtf?? So, I can't bare for all of those amazingly talented girls to be either ignored or shoved into careers that will never see them use their superpowers. There is a bigger picture here, which is about the inequality of the schooling system, and how many are just invisible, unless they overstep the "deemed boldness" and are suspended and expelled - we are at crisis point for girls facing this right now. And so my solution to the problem is to do something about it, with the help of my wonderful connections, those of us who are privileged to be able to help others, and so I am asking for you to join a movement. One where we provide everything that is missing from #careersadvice and #workplacements as we offer employability pathways from Year 10 to Year 12, and beyond, with work and learning fests, shadow youth board opportunities and connections like no other. That hidden workforce is full of talent, with us only needing to see and nurture it - here is our future. #mentorship #employability #pathways #earlylearning #education
