Today marks the start of National Inclusion Week, dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive environments. That’s exactly what we are doing here at Pragmatic, with a week of activity to enable our people to grow and thrive. From a webinar on courageous conversations and creating psychological safety to understanding the value of neurodiversity and collecting, managing and evaluating diversity data, we look forward to coming together to listen, share and collaborate. Impact matters. Stay tuned for more coming this week from some of our people! #pragmatic #semiconductor #nationalinclusionweek #impactmatters #teampragmatic

Let's amplify voices that are often overlooked. Inclusion isn't just about being present; it's about creating a world where every person feels valued and empowered. Together, we can build a community where everyone's story is heard and celebrated. Read more about how we can be more inclusive to diverse perspectives and what are the benefits of inclusion - https://lnkd.in/dqQWDQUg #LearningDisabilityWeek

Thinking back on why I started this journey: To build a space where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. Inclusion is our commitment, and together we make it a reality. 🌍✨ How has your commitment to inclusion shaped your professional journey? #purposedriven #PurposeDrivenLife #purposewithpassion #purposedrivenwoman

Being Intentional about Inclusion  Being intentional about inclusion isn't just about checking boxes; it's about actively fostering environments where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every individual feels a sense of belonging. Inclusion starts with a commitment to understanding and appreciating the diverse tapestry of humanity surrounding us. It's about recognizing the unique experiences, backgrounds, and identities that shape each person's journey. By intentionally seeking out and amplifying marginalized voices, we create spaces where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Remember that intentionality is key as we strive for a more inclusive world. Let's actively challenge biases, dismantle barriers, and champion diversity in all its forms. By being intentional about inclusion, we enrich our communities and pave the way for a brighter, more equitable future for all. #Inclusion #DiversityandInclusion #Belonging #Equity #IntentionalInclusion #CommunityBuilding #LinkedInReflections

Inclusion nurtures and adds value that grows people from their point of need. Exclusion. Well… fill in the blanks. Let’s plan ways to be and encourage inclusivity and connectedness in our “educational hallways” and wherever we serve. #IntentionalLeadership
