Together, we can embark on a journey towards a more inclusive and equitable future. Your initiative matters more than you know. Let's make meaningful strides towards positive change, starting now. 🌍🚀

As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I), we have chosen to release our new Diversity and Inclusion Policy to our employees today. This policy reaffirms our dedication to ensuring that all employees are treated equally and fairly, and that discriminatory behaviour is not tolerated. Diversity is not just a 'buzzword' - it's a fundamental aspect of who we are. By prioritising diversity and inclusion, we are not only creating a better workplace for our employees but also driving innovation, productivity, and business success.

Harnessing the Power of Whistleblowing for Diversity and Inclusion 🌈 Do we dare to speak? In today's dynamic workplaces, fostering diversity and inclusion is not just a moral imperative, but it is a strategic advantage. By using whistleblowing as a catalyst for change, management can encourage and create a culture where voices of all backgrounds are heard and valued. Let's embrace and explore how we can further push the momentum in cultivating diversity and inclusion in today's workplace! https://lnkd.in/dMABz8y4

I think most people have experienced a time where they felt excluded, and the effects can have major impacts on people's lives. It's great to see more of a focus on diversity and inclusion in the community and in workplaces. You go to work to do a job, and no one should feel excluded at their workplace. There are so many stories of WA businesses who are making great progress in D&I, like BHP, and I feel so thrilled to help put those stories in the spotlight. Let's celebrate WA businesses who are making strides in D&I and raising the bar of what's expected in the workplace.

Did you know Celebrate Diversity Month takes place each April? This celebration, originating in 2004, is observed to recognize and appreciate the diversity of our communities. You never know what we can learn from each other! Here are some ideas of how you can celebrate diversity in your organization and community: 👉 Host an (OPTIONAL) potluck lunch for your team where everyone can bring something from their culture and background, so you can all bond over your love of food. 👉 Institute a weekly happy hour where you listen to music from different cultures. 👉 Offer a paid brown-bag lunch with a speaker on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. 👉 Give employees a way to communicate and give feedback about your events, as well as year-round diversity and inclusion observations. 👉 Create an Employee Resource Group, where employees can join and bond over shared experiences or backgrounds. 👉 As always, prioritize employee wellbeing and welcome, with your DEIA practices. Let me know—how are you celebrating this month? #PuzzleHR #TopTrendsInHR #Compliance #EmploymentLaw #Policy #Talent #TemporaryEmployees #SeasonalWorkers #EmployeeHandbook
