This Monday, 4th March 2024, we woke up to more injuries, deaths, and loved ones holding onto the lifeless bodies of their children, feeling the agonizing helplessness. Three months into 2024, there seems to be nothing worthwhile celebrating. As we approach Ramadan, when our brothers and sisters are being killed by bombs and starvation, it's crucial to reflect on what is truly worth celebrating. In the context of workplace recognitions, celebrations, and awards, it's essential to consider how these events align with our values and humanity. Winning a trophy while choosing not to speak up for those who are suffering raises questions about the true meaning of success. How can we celebrate when we fail at the most basic aspect of being human—compassion and empathy for others?

I've spoken to 30+ employers in the last 90 days and the ONE skill-gap they've all identified is RESILIENCE. This week I delivered a workshop to a group of THE most resilient young people I've ever met as part of GoodWork's onboarding programme. Some were care leavers, homeless, victims of domestic violence and all from low income backgrounds. These young people have gone through SO much and are living and breathing examples of true resilience... Yet are locked out of certain industries because due to no fault of their own don't have a degree or A-Levels. Resilience is a skill that's taught from life experience's not grades Don't be that employer that throws the words social mobility and D&I around but isn't willing to actually do the work or make a change. Want to actually make a change? Contact Felicity Halstead to learn more about how to give a group of young people who want to work more than anything a chance.

I know that for a fact firsthand.
