Diversity within the Black community is often overlooked. 🎨 Recognizing and celebrating these differences is key to genuine inclusion. Companies must understand and value the unique perspectives each individual brings. #BlackDiversity #InclusiveWorkplace #CelebratingDifferences

As we celebrate #BlackInclusionWeek, I want to share a powerful piece written by a fantastic colleague of mine, Jason Dunwell, that underscores the significance of this vital initiative. It’s a week dedicated to amplifying Black voices, challenging our biases, and taking actionable steps towards a more inclusive society. You really need to read the article for yourself, but some key highlights to point out include: ➡ The work of Jason's hero; historian and presenter David Olusoga, who sheds light on the UK’s history of racism and colonialism, reminding us that understanding our country's past (and the role this plays in the marginalisation of Black people today) is key to shaping a more equitable future. ➡ The media’s role in shaping perceptions and the need for critical engagement with the narratives presented to us. ➡ The impact of our daily, casual conversations in either reinforcing stereotypes or contributing to a culture of inclusivity. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gbREtjme As you read the article, I encourage you to join me in doing as Jason suggests - take some time to reflect deeply on these systemic issues and your own opinions throughout this week.

Did you know that unconscious biases could be stealing the best talent away from you? 🤔 Understanding these biases is crucial, it allows employers to address them so they can build inclusive teams and create equal opportunities. Robert Half UK's Black Employee Network (BEN) arranged a webinar featuring black history educator and cultural theorist, Kayne Kawasaki. Kayne discussed the cross-race effect in depth, and how by addressing these biases, we can start to confront them and make a change. 🌍✨ Check out the full article here 👉 https://bit.ly/3X7Bm33 #Equality #Inclusion #UnconsciousBias #DiversityAndInclusion

It's March 1. You may be thinking I'm late in posting for #BlackHistoryMonth, but I would challenge that. Should the conversation surrounding the challenges and celebration of our Black community end at midnight on February 29 (or 28 on non leap years)? All too often companies and brands jump on the opportunity to strategically market their allyship and then disappear until February 1 of the following year. I choose not to use voice throughout my #BlackHistoryMonth content throughout the month for two reasons: 1) When it comes to this subject, it's better for me as an Italian, caucasian man to listen rather than speak and 2) Elevating the voices of Black professionals and EID experts bettering the infrastructure industry needs to take precedence. I hope you found the content I reshared this month as insightful as I did. There's no secret, that the most successful and efficient teams have the most diverse backgrounds. Our industry cannot afford to not utilize the talents of all experts in our field. #EquityandInclusion #Equity #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #SocialJustice #BHM #diversity #culture #allyship #inclusion

Inclusion is the vital counterpart to diversity, ensuring that individuals from various backgrounds, groups, and ethnicities are not only recognized but also valued, empowered, and given access to resources and opportunities for advancement. Cultural inclusivity and tolerance represent significant aspects of our commitment to diversity and resonate deeply with practical approaches to fostering diversity. As we commemorate Black History Month, it's crucial to recognize that at its core, it's about embracing diversity. Without actively practicing inclusion and creating an environment where it can flourish, our efforts may amount to mere castles in the air. #DiversityAndInclusion #CulturalInclusivity #ToleranceMatters #BlackHistoryMonth #EmbraceDiversity #Culture #EqualityForAll #BuildingInclusion #CelebrateDiversity #InclusionIsKey #UnityInDiversity

🗓️ Why is there a Black Inclusion Week? Black Inclusion Week was launched by Black Leaders, a community of Black professionals and allies who want to make positive and sustainable change. Black Leaders CEO and Founder Paul Sesay said Black Inclusion Week will not only celebrate Black people, but also be a reminder of the importance of “embedding a fair and just society for all.” He also hopes the week will address the inequalities and systemic barriers for Black people across all aspects of society. Action needs to be taken because: 🔴 Black people are the most likely to have witnessed a racist incident at work, according to the Racism at Work in the UK (2021) report. 🔴 41% of Black and minority workers in the UK are suffering racism on the job. 🔴 Two thirds of Black employees experienced racism in the workplace in 2021. To protect the wellbeing of our Black colleagues and retain Black talent, it is important that organisations directly address anti-black racism and create anti-racist work cultures. 💡 To learn more about how you can take action during Black Inclusion Week, visit our Awareness page: https://lnkd.in/eni7Rj2R 🏷️ #BlackInclusionWeek #Inclusion #Diversity #AntiRacism
