What happens when resources feel truly heard and valued? They give their all! 💪 Our FFIND Olympic Games 2024 is proof of that. It was more than just an event. We laughed, competed, and grew together, breaking down walls and lifting each other up. It created a contagious energy that reminded us all what it means to be a FFINDER—giving our all for the team, each one bringing their unique talent or simply helping out. So, why should you consider a similar experience for your team? Because creating a culture of inclusivity and connection isn’t just a nice-to-have or a marketing or HR buzzword—it really can transform your workplace. It strengthens bonds, boosts morale, and... well, if you want to understand more, click on the link below to see the real impact and how you can create that change that makes your company thrive 🌟

🎉 Introducing Our Anchors of Belonging in Sports Organisations Framework! 🎉 We are thrilled to launch our new "Anchors of Belonging Framework" designed specifically for those working in sport. Built on our research here in the Centre for Social Justice in Sport and Society, Carnegie School Of Sport, this framework highlights four key pillars that drive a sense of belonging for individuals who work in sport (as coaches, officials, governance, and administration). There are 4 key tenets of belonging that we have gleaned from our body of research into inclusive sports workforces. In this infographic, we define each of these concepts with central questions to prompt reflection as to how you are supporting those who work in your sports organisations: 🔹 Feeling Seen – Recognising individuals’ unique contributions and experiences, fostering representation and inclusion across all roles. 🔹 Feeling Heard – Empowering employees to share their ideas, influence change, and engage in open dialogue in safe, supported spaces. 🔹 Feeling Known – Understanding each employee as a unique individual, with opportunities for diverse connections and holistic support beyond work. 🔹 Feeling Valued – Creating a supportive culture where everyone feels respected, accepted, and celebrated for their authentic selves, with clear opportunities for growth. Our goal is to help organisations in sport create environments where every person feels a deep sense of belonging and has the chance to thrive. 🤝 Check out the infographic to see how you can implement these pillars in your organisation and cultivate an inclusive culture that supports every individual journey!

Just as a winning sports team thrives on diverse talents, the workplace flourishes when individuals with different personalities collaborate, and can learn to coexist by putting differences aside for the overall success of the #team. 🤝 In sports, players understand the strengths of teammates to achieve victory. Similarly, in the workplace, recognizing and appreciating diverse perspectives can lead to innovation and success. 🚀 Communication is key on the field and in the office. Just as athletes communicate during a game, effective communication in the workplace bridges gaps and fosters a positive environment. 🙌🏼 Respecting each other's strengths and weaknesses is crucial. In sports, teams adapt strategies based on individual strengths; in the workplace, acknowledging diverse skills enhances overall productivity. 💪🏽 Let's celebrate the synergy of sportsmanship and workplace collaboration—where different personalities create a winning team! 🎉 #Teamwork #WorkplaceSuccess #DiversityInclusion #PublicHealth #OneCity #LoveOurTeam #CowboysVsPackers #GoCowboys 💙

Collective sports programs offer a powerful catalyst for positive change within organizations, involving groups of employees in activities ranging from team-building exercises to competitive sports like football or badminton. These programs not only foster social interaction and improve health and fitness but also promote competition, team-based learning, and skill development to boost workplace productivity. Employers can finance these initiatives through cost-sharing arrangements, creating an inclusive environment where all team members, from benchwarmers to star players, feel valued and involved. The camaraderie and rivalries formed on the field translate into the workplace, enhancing teamwork and strengthening bonds among colleagues. With informal and non-threatening sports activities accommodating individuals of all fitness levels, collective sports programs emerge as indispensable tools for building successful teams and nurturing a culture of collaboration. hello@stealthmark.co.ke "Making People Happy Through Sports" www.stealthmark.co.ke

AN HR PERSECTIVE ON RUGBY – DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION  (South Africa versus Australia – 10 Aug 2024) If you are still wondering about the power of Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace, look at the South African Rugy Team. A team united and at the top of their game, despite race, class, backgrounds and ethnicity. As I watched the rugby game this morning, I was in awe of the Springboks display of skill, expertise, technical competence, strategy and the will to win, as they went on to a 33-7 victory against the Wallabies. Diversity and inclusion are not just ethical imperatives; they are strategic advantages that drive innovation and growth. Research shows that organizations with diverse teams are 35% more likely to outperform their peers in terms of financial returns. By fostering an inclusive culture, companies can tap into a broader range of perspectives and ideas, propelling creativity and problem-solving. Furthermore, diverse workplaces enhance employee satisfaction and retention, with studies indicating that diverse teams are more engaged and collaborative. By creating an inclusive environment, organizations not only benefit economically but also cultivate a workforce that is resilient, dynamic, and capable of meeting the challenges of a global market. The greatest lesson we can take away from the Springbok Team is diversity and inclusion is a game changer. The simple truth is, you get to choose the best of the best, for your company, from a far bigger pool of talent if diversity and inclusion is a strategic pillar within your organisation.
