LCCI is participating in a UK-wide inquiry into workplace equity. We define workplace equity as creating a level playing field for individuals, recognising that we do not all start from the same place and that adjustments may be required to provide fair access to opportunity. Convened by the British Chambers of Commerce, the Workplace Equity Commission comprises businesses and experts from across civic society. The Commission will meet regularly over the next 12 months to consider evidence from companies and stakeholders in London and across the UK. We want to highlight best practices in London businesses, any challenges employers face and where more support may be needed. We aim to publish practical recommendations for employers, chambers and government on how SMEs can be supported to create fair and equitable workforces. The Workplace Equity Commission’s Call for Evidence is open until 16 February 2024. Let us know your thoughts: https://ow.ly/blb450Qo6G9

As we bid farewell to 2023, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible strides made in reconciliation within workplaces across Canada. This year has been a transformative journey towards creating more inclusive and equitable environments for all. 🫱🏽🫲🏾 At Okere & Associates, we are proud to have been a part of this movement, working hand in hand with organizations to foster a culture of reconciliation and respect. Here are some highlights from our year in review: Building Awareness: We conducted numerous workshops and training sessions to raise awareness about the importance of reconciliation and its impact on workplaces. By educating employees and leaders, we laid the foundation for meaningful change. Embracing Indigenous Perspectives: We collaborated with Indigenous communities and organizations to incorporate Indigenous perspectives and knowledge into workplace policies and practices. This helped create a more inclusive and culturally sensitive work environment. Strengthening Relationships: We facilitated dialogue and engagement between employers and Indigenous communities, fostering partnerships based on mutual respect and understanding. These relationships have paved the way for meaningful collaboration and economic opportunities. Developing Reconciliation Strategies: We worked closely with organizations to develop tailored reconciliation strategies that align with their values and goals. By integrating Indigenous perspectives and practices, these strategies have helped create more inclusive and equitable workplaces. Implementing Reconciliation Initiatives: We supported organizations in implementing reconciliation initiatives, such as mentorship programs, cultural awareness training, and Indigenous employment strategies. These initiatives have empowered Indigenous employees and created pathways for success. Celebrating Success: We celebrated the achievements of organizations that have made significant progress in their reconciliation journey. By recognizing and sharing success stories, we inspire others to take action and create positive change. As we look ahead to 2024, we are committed to continuing our work in advancing reconciliation in workplaces across Canada. We can build a future where every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their whole selves to work. We want to express our gratitude to all the organizations, partners, and individuals who have joined us on this journey. Your dedication and commitment to reconciliation have made a lasting impact. Let's continue to walk this path together.
