Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate the emancipation of enslaved Black people in the United States. It's a day to reflect on the struggles for freedom and equality, and recommit ourselves to building a more inclusive workplace. We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential for a thriving workplace. We're committed to helping our clients create cultures that value all employees and foster belonging. Here are some things HR departments can do to celebrate Juneteenth and build a more equitable workplace: 📚Educate your employees: Hold educational workshops or seminars on Juneteenth's history and significance. 📖Review your policies: Ensure your policies are inclusive and free from bias. 🌈Diversify your recruiting: Actively seek out and recruit talent from diverse backgrounds. 🤝Create Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): Provide a space for employees from different backgrounds to connect and support each other. We encourage all businesses to take action to create a more just and equitable workplace. #Juneteenth #DiversityEquityInclusion #HR #WorkplaceCulture

Calling all competitors to the brands listed below! You are automatically one step ahead in capturing the attention of top talent who believe in equitable experiences in the workplace, regardless of how they identify. In a recent study we commissioned, "sense of belonging" was actually the top reason for retention. So from an employer brand perspective, use this information to your advantage. Younger professionals, in particular, pay very close attention to inclusion practices at prospective employers.

We here at Raines are getting ready to celebrate April's Diversity Awareness Month! While current headlines might focus on cuts in DEI programs and DEI-specific roles, we are not discouraged-- and it seems we aren't the only ones. In fact, a recent Pew study found that a majority of employed adults in the U.S. think increased DEI at work is a good thing. Research continues to demonstrate the positive impact of DEI in organizational output, with well-managed, highly diverse teams showing greater innovation and higher levels of effectiveness. And the benefits extend beyond financial gains: diversity in the workforce improves employee engagement, fosters a sense of belonging, and drives innovation.   This month and every month, we at Raines celebrate diversity and remain committed to supporting increased representation and inclusion efforts -- both internally and for our clients. #diversity #diversityawareness #dei

In the working world, we've all faced the challenge of making things fair for everyone. In 2022, our government set out an Inclusive Britain Strategy plan in response to the Commission on Race and Disparities. They laid down 74 actions to level the playing field and make UK workplaces fairer places. Action 16 of the plan looked into addressing the ethnicity pay gap. It's not about fancy numbers; it's about making things fair for everyone in our workplaces. Imagine a workplace where it doesn't matter where you're from; you've got an equal shot at things. That's what #RaceEqualityWeek is all about – #ListenActChange. Let's get real and make it happen. #ListenActChange by checking and fixing any pay gaps. Your choices matter more than policies – they shape the future. ✊🌍 #EqualOpportunity #EthnicityPayGap

🌍✨ Celebrating Human Rights Day: Embracing Equality in the Workplace ✨🌍 On this Human Rights Day, let's reaffirm our dedication to nurturing a workplace environment that honors and cherishes the rights of each individual. Human rights aren't merely abstract ideals; they serve as the bedrock of a society founded on fairness and equality, demanding acknowledgment in every aspect of our lives, including our professional domains. Advancing human rights isn't solely a moral obligation; it's also a strategic imperative. It's imperative to grasp that cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce isn't just morally right but also yields superior innovation, creativity, and overall prosperity. Achieving this entails establishing a milieu where every member feels esteemed, heard, and empowered to excel. In our pursuit of crafting a more inclusive workplace, we must also recognize the critical significance of fair and impartial hiring practices. We firmly advocate for selecting candidates based on their skills, credentials, and potential, irrespective of their background, gender, race, religion, or any other distinguishing characteristic. By adhering to these principles, we not only uphold the tenets of human rights but also ensure that our team comprises exceptional talents from all walks of life. As we commemorate Human Rights Day, let's rededicate ourselves to fostering work environments where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is ingrained, and human rights are safeguarded for all. Together, let's forge a brighter tomorrow where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. #HumanRightsDay #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #WorkplaceCulture #FairHiring
