Facility Solutions Group’s Post

🧰 I really enjoyed attending Jobs for the Future (JFF)'s Horizons Summit last week in D.C. and learn from so many organizations, speakers, and peers on their efforts to advance #inclusive workforces and create equitable #economicopportunity as we think about the #futureofwork. One of the biggest highlights was certainly the opportunity connect with so many of the amazing leaders on our Talent Rewire team—Kimberly Shin (mysteriously missing at the time of this picture 🤔 ), Ulises Trujillo Rivera, and George Zaninovich, MURP—with whom our paths rarely cross in person despite working at the same organization. Their team's research and learning communities complement the #workforcedevelopment work that Chirlie Felix and Fay Hanleybrown lead from FSG's consulting unit. Other highlights from #JFFHorizons include: ⭐ Learning about new research from Prof. Raj Chetty and The Brookings Institution's Camille M. Busette on intergenerational mobility, economic connectedness, and social disconnection (I was shocked to learn Charlotte, NC is the least economically mobile city in the U.S. but hopeful to learn that Montogomery County, MD is both very diverse and economically mobile!) ⭐ Hearing from Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo about rethinking labor and the opportunity to elevate the role of #communitycolleges in rethinking career pathways and reskilling ⭐ Author Ta-Nehisi Coates's candor and vulnerable reflections on #privilege that we all have to some degree, be it gender, ability, class, sexual orientation or another dimension, and the small changes we can make to increase our awareness and ability to entertain behavior shift on a larger scale I'm carrying these and many other insights forward into our work on #economicmobility and #workforcedevelopment. #HorizonsOnLinkedIn

As part of National Reconciliation Week, the Winslow Group has launched its online Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Appreciation training. Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. As Australians, we can all be proud to be the home of one of the oldest continuous civilisations on Earth, extending back more than 65,000 years. Our Cultural Appreciation training course aims to increase employees’ awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their culture. Cultural awareness is a first step towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural competency, which refers to an ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. The focus of our training is to provide background and context, and then to move into appropriate behaviour from Winslow employees. Each person at Winslow is empowered to make good decisions to look after each other as family, be accountable to each other and be committed to operating safely. It’s the Winslow Way. #Winslow #TheWinslowWay #WinslowLearning #WinslowCommunity #NRW2024 #NationalReconciliationWeek2024

Another brilliant morning at another BNG breakfast! And yet there are ALWAYS new questions! A pleasure to attend, and great to see everyone in such numbers. Additionally, ironically an afternoon too late, it has been confirmed that BNG will be mandatory from 12 February! #BNG #ecology #sweco #transformingsocietytogether
