Building a more inclusive workplace has to be a year-round journey.   But at the same time, we also need standout moments to raise awareness, champion inclusivity and celebrate the work we’re doing to get there.   Free to Be Week is our annual moment to do exactly that, bringing together our people to help build a workplace where people feel Free to Be their full selves!   Free to Be Week 2024 kicks off today, and this year’s theme is ‘Free to Be United’ – which we’re bringing to life through a wide variety of activities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.   From our Free to Be Conversations – discussions ranging from working in global teams to the importance of Human Rights – to a listening session to better understand attitudes towards LGBTQI+ colleagues, identity exploration workshops with Creative Girls Rock®, and various local volunteering and training sessions, this week we’re highlighting the unity we have in diversity at Bridgestone.   Free to Be Week is another way we're activating the Bridgestone E8 Commitment – cultivating a culture that advances equity, embraces individuality, and helps our increasingly diverse teammates and communities thrive!   #FreeToBeWeek #Inclusivity #WorkplaceInclusion #DEI

🎉 Celebrating National Diversity Month at Hatmill 🌈 April marks a time of celebration for diversity and inclusion, and at Hatmill, we're embracing this spirit wholeheartedly. Our commitment to building a team as varied and vibrant as the logistics sector itself is unwavering. We believe in the power of different perspectives and experiences to drive innovation and growth. We're proud to share that our efforts are reflected in the results of a recent employee engagement survey by Great Place To Work UK®.

Holi: A Festival of Colors & Lessons for the Workplace The vibrant festival of Holi is upon us and as we drench each other in playful hues, Holi offers powerful lessons for organizations seeking a more inclusive and joyful workplace: The Power of Unity: Holi's colors wash away distinctions of race, class, and background. In the workplace, let's strive to create a space where everyone feels equally valued and celebrated, regardless of their differences. The Joy of Collaboration: Holi is a community celebration. Similarly, a thriving workplace encourages teamwork and collaboration over silos and competition. Let's foster an environment where everyone's contributions are recognized. Embracing Diversity: Just as the beauty of Holi lies in its multitude of colors, the strength of an organization lies in the diversity of its people. Let's welcome and learn from the unique perspectives, experiences, and talents of our colleagues. Letting Go and Having Fun: Holi is a time to let loose, laugh, and simply have fun. A touch of playfulness and positivity can energize the workplace, boosting morale and creativity. Let the spirit of Holi inspire us to build workplaces where everyone feels like they belong, where collaboration thrives, and where joy is a part of the work culture. #Holi #Diversity #Inclusion #WorkplaceCulture #HumLog

Diving into the impactful realm of St. Patrick's Day celebrations, we uncover a unique facet of cultural unity that resonates within workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As the nation bathes in the verdant glow of this annual celebration, it serves as more than just a festivity; it's a reflection of shared values and inclusivity. St. Patrick's Day can be a catalyst for fostering a sense of belonging and appreciation for diversity. Companies often leverage the occasion to promote cultural awareness, encouraging employees to learn about Irish traditions and history. This inclusive approach not only celebrates the rich tapestry of backgrounds but also contributes to a more vibrant and harmonious workplace culture. #DEI #InclusionAtWork #CulturalUnity #StPatricksDayImpact #WorkplaceDiversity #EquityAndInclusion

💻🎬Digital moderation is not my favorite...😅 ...yet today's talk became truly inspirational and even emotional when Sandra Richter and Keith Allman shared their personal motivation to push Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Masco Corporation and Hansgrohe Group to create a culture of belonging. So why does DE&I matter to them and should matter to all of us? 🌟Diverse Perspectives Drive Innovation: Having a team with varied backgrounds and experiences leads to better decision-making and innovative solutions. 🌟Self-Reflection Matters: Acknowledging our biases (we all do have them, it's natural) and actively working to overcome them is essential for creating an inclusive workplace. 🌟Practical Results: Embracing diversity isn’t just a moral imperative; it positively impacts business outcomes, including product development and company dynamics. 🌟Small Steps, Big Impact: Even small changes, such as getting to know colleagues’ interests or looking beyond surface appearances, contribute to a more inclusive environment. ✨ “We can all be the spark that ignites a virtuous cycle.” ✨ #WeAreHansgrohe #Diversity #DiversityMatters #Inclusion #Belonging #BusinessSuccess
