What does inclusion at work look like for First Nations workers? Despite growing support for First Nations rights in Australia since our first #InclusionIndex in 2017, First Nations workers’ experience with exclusion and inclusion at work remains concerning. First Nation workers continue to experience high levels of exclusion and less respect at work in 2023. Furthermore, workplace exclusion is high from sources both inside and outside an organisation. Make sure to read the latest Inclusion @ Work Index now for more findings and a case for D&I action at work. 👉 https://ow.ly/3gey50RgPci #TheCaseForInclusion #InclusionAtWork #InclusionIndex #DiversityandInclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion #GenderEquality #GenderEquity #Allyship #BusinessAustralia #HumanResources #Leadership #InclusiveLeadership #InclusionMatters #DiversityCouncilAustralia

How do employers support First Nations employees in the workplace? This question serves as a call to action for employers in Australia to focus on establishing inclusive and respectful environments for First Nations employees. Systemic racism remains a significant barrier, but proactive strategies and cultural safety can drive meaningful change. With insights from the Indigenous Employment Index (IEI), leaders are encouraged to engage deeply with Indigenous communities, set robust employment targets, and address workplace racism. This NAIDOC Week, Women and Leadership Australia is calling on businesses to create sustainable opportunities and close the employment gap for First Nations Australians.

Inclusion fosters more creativity and enhances decision-making in the workplace. This is Shirdas's take on how East Africa Local Governments Association (EALGA) is #inspiringinclusion #womenshistorymonth series. #iwd2024

I can't help but think Esther McVey, the Government's "Minister of Common Sense", is displaying anything but. Reducing the EDI agenda to what is statutorily required will take away many of its (well evidenced) benefits. Good work on #equality, #diversity and #inclusion extends way beyond the Equality Act 2010 and into creating high performing organisations that are truly welcoming places to work. Not just ones that don't discriminate. Whatever next? Telling organisations they should stop caring about #engagement or #wellbeing? 🙄 At Culture Consultancy we work with organisations that care about their attraction, retention and productivity and appreciate how #equality, #diversity and #inclusion can help these crucial business outcomes. I've written a blog to help such organisations start, or accelerate, their journey - see the link in the comments #PsychologicalSafety #WorkplaceWellbeing #CultureOfCare #MentalHealthMatters #UKMentalHealthWeek #CultureConsultancy #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #DEI #WellbeingAtWork

The Equality Imperative for Business and Organisations As a fundamental, the UK Equality Act (2010) provides an imperative for organisations to protect employees from discrimination. However, substantive evidence shows that diversified and more inclusive organisations are more productive, including: Creative, efficient, effective and/or profitable. To assist you, we are excited to launch a new series of courses to help you with the following: - How can I recruit and retain a more diversified workforce? - How can I promote employee awareness of the equality necessity? - How can I reduce bias in the organisation for more effective inclusive working? - How can I promote more competent cross culture working with clients? - How can I enable my staff to reduce stress and promote better mental wellbeing?

So Friday March 8th is International Women's Day & this years theme is #InspireInclusion I'm truly passionate about this year's theme because it offers hope and shines a light on all those who feel their opportunities have been limited based on gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and ability Yes it is International 'Women's' Day, but the true essence of inclusion means inclusion for all, accommodating anyone that has experienced exclusion or endured limitations in the workplace Speaking as a proud Irish woman of a certain age (as in old enough to have been around the block a few times 😉) I'm sad to see that we still have considerable work to do if we're finally going to obliterate that #GlassCeiling Need proof of the fact? Well earlier this year it was reported that the pay-gap in Ireland's biggest companies remains to be a key issue Women are still (yes even in this day and age) paid on average 13.7% less than our male counterparts and the widest pay gaps are in: Finance, Banking, Insurance, Law & Construction For those clambering the top of the career ladder, have a gander at some other stats below, reported from June '23, and you'll see just how steep a climb we have ahead to achieve true equity and inclusion For #iwd2024 let's resolve to hammer the living daylights out of that ceiling and make Ireland worthy of the term #Inclusive! #MotivationalSpeaker #MakeChangeHappen #Inclusion #Equity #Diversity #LondonSpeakerBureau

A recent Oxford report has confirmed that most Britons are onboard with EDI efforts. However, the report highlights a crucial point: while support is strong, there's a call for these initiatives to better reflect people's day-to-day realities.   It's a clear signal that the journey towards true equality isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about creating meaningful change that resonates with everyone.
