Sensible, practical guidance that leads to the opportunity to demonstrate truly inclusive leadership through taking it into consideration and implementing its suggestions.

For #Ramadan, specialists from the diversity, equity and inclusion sector in the UK give their top tips in how to create an inclusive workplace environment for Muslim staff. The tips include: ☪️Go beyond the surface and create policies that make sure Muslim staff are included at a deeper level ☪️Start your Ramadan plans early and include your Muslim colleagues in the conversation ☪️Embed Ramadan into workplace calendars at an institutional level ☪️Ask your colleagues what they need during Ramadan and be an active ally ☪️Make sure your conversation about inclusion for Muslims goes beyond Ramadan ☪️Staff should be able to be open about their requirements and needs during Ramadan ☪️Attend an iftar with your Muslim colleagues; there are many interfaith iftars taking place ☪️Ensure Muslims are protected from hate crime and institutional discrimination all year round, but in Ramadan their ‘Muslimness’ will be much more visible We hope this video helps to give you an insight into Muslim needs during the fasting period, and encourages you to find out more about Ramadan, and to take part in iftars and community activities. *resharing from last year https://lnkd.in/eupqEAB7 Rahimeh Ramezany 🧕🏻 Kevin Yusuf Coleman Sal Naseem FRSA Sal Asghar Ash Ahmad Suraiya Rasheed Hira Ali #dei #equalitydiversityinclusion #diverdity #removingbarriers #genuineinclusion #community

So proud of you #Shaun Tay and #FCB Shout team for reminding me of what it means to be in the legal profession. There is mounting debate on what is considered appropriate remuneration for pupils and young lawyers amongst the more established legal firms recently. I myself have often been faced with the question of whether the remuneration provided by my firm is sufficient to attract young talent to our humble firm. This video has reminded me that the pursuit of material gains in our profession must be balanced with a higher aspiration, in that we must find meaning in our work and take pride and enjoyment in what we do. So this is a shout-out to the young aspiring litigators out there, I am seeking a pupil in chambers and what I have to offer is this: You will be sufficiently remunerated for your time with us, but don't expect us to match the market of international cross border transaction firms with a head count of 50 lawyers out there. I am looking for a pupil to take under my wing, to nurture and hone their skills as a corporate commercial litigator, so you will be interacting with me closely. This could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. 😉 Our firm is too small for you to have to worry about firm politics and hierarchy, we prefer to focus on our interesting work and deriving value both for ourselves and the clients. The only thing toxic about us is the partners' love of intoxicating drinks and the lively music (sometimes self performed) that we enjoy to let off some of the pressure that comes with our job. So if you are looking for a not so young, fun loving yet ferocious litigator, slightly flawed human being but with a heart in the right place, to guide and nurture you through your path to becoming a lawyer, do drop me an email at: kelly@maliskhoo.com general@maliskhoo.com #malis&khoo #kuala lumpur #pupil in chambers https://lnkd.in/dvbtchxr

Supporting Māori public servants This article from e:tangata starts with this statement. “It’s a difficult time to be a Māori public servant — many are faced with implementing policies that target and minimise things of importance to Māori, while trying to carry on doing their jobs and uphold the mana of their positions.” It goes on to describe efforts to support Māori public servants. Māori public servants should never get landed with pursuing the Māori Kaupapa alone. Organisations themselves must take this responsibility. All public servants, individually and collectively, can think of ways of supporting their Māori colleagues. https://lnkd.in/gGC69-Ch #publicservice #supportkaupapa #publicservants

A few good tips to remember when working with colleagues who celebrate Ramadan.... https://lnkd.in/e4r2UQcn

Trust orders and Marae charters are key documents for Māori land trusts that help guide decision making and governance and should be regularly reviewed. Over the weekend I spent some time with trustees and beneficiaries of an ahu whenua trust updating and modernising their trust order. Travelling across the motu for this kaupapa is one of the great aspects of my mahi. Check out my key tips for updating trust orders below. #whenua #goodgovernance #goodpeople

How can the Bar support barristers and staff during Ramadan? Some very useful and helpful tips.

New regulation for handling business partnership cases by the competition regulator: improvement for large businesses… or setback? The Indonesia Competition Commission (“KPPU”) has recently revoked Regulation 4/2019 on the Supervision and Handling of Partnership Disputes, replacing it with Regulation 2/2024 (“New KPPU Regulation”). The New KPPU Regulation impacts the way disputes between large companies and micro, small and medium enterprises are handled by the KPPU at each stage of the proceeding, and this may both benefit and burden large companies. Authors Partner Verry Iskandar, Foreign Counsel Robert Reid, and Senior Associate Valeri Soekarno provide a comprehensive update to address this issue.
