#DEI is more than a buzzword. Embracing diversity, equity and inclusion isn't a one-time effort but an ongoing commitment❕ Mitigating bias is pivotal. Strategies to challenge ingrained attitudes and behaviours, coupled with accountability, ensure progress. DEI isn't a passing trend; it's a foundational principle for ethical and sustainable society 💗 Also beyond organisational walls, we must play a role in advocating for legislative changes that uphold minority interests. Our team member participated in the The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament's #EUFFP event that highlighted that we, who can, must align our efforts with inclusivity. As Hannah Neumann, MEP, stated, providing platforms for underrepresented voices is crucial and our responsibility. Let's educate, speak up, implement, and leverage DEI for the benefit of our organisations and the world! Read more ⤵ #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Management #Leadership

This year I've had a record number of Women of Colour (WoC) contacting me asking for advice on speaker fees and speakership in general. It's great that WoC are being asked to speak at IWD events, however, are you paying your speakers? If not what's the whole point of IWD? *mind blown* I say this not only for WoC but for all women and people who are being asked to share their story, MC or sit on a panel as part of a IWD event. As someone who has run all kinds of events for over 20 years (inclusion and non inclusion related), I understand the challenges for event organisers and even though I myself am a speaker, as an event organiser (and imperfect human living in an imperfect world) I have made mistakes - so I get it, and I know this is a journey. As an inclusion practitioner, the irony of not paying speakers for an IWD event is something that gives me a physical migraine.

I would love to help you #DEI #Audit #InclusionMatters #CourageousConversations #EmbracingChange

Intersectionality refers to how the different aspects of our identity are connected and how this is linked to inequalities or privileges. Last week our annual Employee Resource Group (ERG) Summit addressed this important topic with representatives from the ERGs and UCB leaders, including our CEO, Jean-Christophe Tellier, and ExCom member Denelle Waynick Johnson. Guests and attendees participated in person and online and were invited to reflect on different questions: 👥 How do the different aspects of our identity influence our personal experiences? How do they affect our lives and our professional path? 🤝 What is the role of allies in addressing inequalities? ⚖ How can we all be more inclusive and equitable in our approach to diversity? 👩🏾🤝👩🏼 How can understanding intersectionality benefit the people we work with and the patients we serve? Exploring this topic helps us to better address inequalities, individually and collectively. A big thank you to our ERGs for organizing this thought-provoking event – attended by hundreds of UCB colleagues from across the world – and for leading the discussion in our daily life! #intersectionality #DEI #diversity #equity #inclusion

📣 Panel Next Week! We'll be talking to the brilliant team Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust about Strategies for Inclusion: Addressing Challenges and Driving Action Join us for a discussion hosted by me with Róisín Fitzsimons, Lyncia Downer and Caroline Chinondo. They are doing focusing on advancing inclusion in a high-stress, high-pressure environment and I'm really looking forward to sharing their practical strategies so other people can learn from them. We'll discuss: * the delicate balance of ensuring inclusivity initiatives don't inadvertently burden underrepresented groups while still involving them in planning and decision-making * how to demonstrate tangible action even when the results aren't immediately apparent * ways to support those tirelessly working on building an inclusive culture alongside their regular duties * the nuances of accountability and understanding in fostering inclusivity, striking a balance between empathy and action * the crucial role of data collection in driving impactful change, with insights from some of the most thoughtful minds in the field Register here: https://lnkd.in/e4JXJjjh #DEI #Belonging #inclusion #culture #nhs

Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive workplaces, communities, and schools are important. DEI is not a waste of money or resources. It is not designed to divide people. It is not wrong. It is a necessity to ensure we include all people in society and celebrate our differences and what brings us together. We are made stronger by DEI initiatives. Let’s move forward and not backwards. Be well. #DEI #inclusionmatters #hrcommunity

While there are indications that some companies may be stepping back from their commitments to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), I am proud to work for a company that continues to support and embrace equity and inclusion by fostering an environment where DEIB principles are not just upheld but are a part of our culture. Embracing both our similarities and differences is not just the right thing to do; it's a strategic imperative that drives growth, innovation, and excellence. Our recent audiocast is a testament to our ongoing efforts to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations that challenge us to think differently and act compassionately. We recognize that the journey towards a truly inclusive culture is ongoing, and we are committed to being active participants in this journey. By valuing and leveraging the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our team, we can create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to contribute their best. #Diversity #Inclusion #Community
As #BlackHistoryMonth concluded last week, we’d like to share some words of wisdom from a recent Q&A session with one of our senior executive directors, Carol Washington, and Jayson Miller, one of our senior talent acquisition advisors. At Acentra Health, we don't just celebrate diversity for one month - it's an ongoing commitment. We strive to be inclusive and embrace our differences in everything we do. This approach not only enhances our recruitment and mentorship initiatives, but also strengthens our community and social outreach efforts with underserved communities. As shared by Carol – may we strengthen our shoulders so that others may be able to see farther as well. #Diversity #Inclusion #Community

Disability Inclusion Entrepreneur | Helping Business, Diversity, HR, and ERG Leaders – Engage Employees, Build Trust, and Meet Inclusion (DEI) Goals 3X Faster using Disability Art! (See About 👇) | Board Member
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) go far beyond just employee retention. They have a profound impact on the community and society as a whole. Here are several reasons why DEI is about making a broader impact: 1. Representation Matters: Promoting diversity and inclusion showcases representation that reflects the broader community, which can inspire marginalized groups and challenge societal norms. 2. Community Engagement: DEI efforts extend beyond the workplace, engaging with the local community through partnerships, volunteerism, and initiatives that address social issues. 3. Inclusive Products/Services: An organization's DEI efforts can drive the development of products and services that cater to a broader customer base, fostering inclusivity in the marketplace. 4. Policy Advocacy: Organizations with strong DEI values can advocate for inclusive policies and contribute to the creation of fairer regulations in the community. 5. Long-Term Cultural Change: DEI efforts within an organization can spill over into the broader community, promoting cultural change and acceptance on a larger scale. #DEI#InclusionMatters#CommunityImpact#TogetherForChange

Diversity and inclusion initiatives - we've heard about them, we've discussed them, but why are they not as popular as they should be? 🤔 Here are three thought-provoking ideas: 1️⃣ Change can be uncomfortable, but it's necessary. Embracing diversity and inclusion means challenging the status quo, and that can be met with resistance. But remember, it's a step towards a more equitable world. 2️⃣ Lack of awareness and education. Sometimes, organizations don't fully understand the benefits of diversity and inclusion. It's our responsibility to spread the word and share the positive impacts. 3️⃣ Fear of the unknown. Change can be scary. It's time to demystify diversity and inclusion, one step at a time. So, here's the call to action! Let's be the change we want to see.
