🌍 Celebrating Inclusion Week! 🌍 Inclusion Week will take place this September, bringing us together to celebrate diversity! This year's theme is 'Impact Matters,' and it's a great reminder of the importance of the change we can bring to our workplaces and communities by encouraging inclusivity. Every action, no matter how small, contributes to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Myself and my colleagues recently got together to share something related to our own cultures. We shared stories about our history and heritage, different cultural celebrations and even exchanged some traditional (and tasty) recipes from around the world. It was a great experience to increase our cultural intelligence, see things from different perspectives and truly understand the 'impact' of making everyone feel included. Here are some ideas for celebrating Inclusion Week and embracing cultural differences with your colleagues: Create a cultural 'potluck' where everyone shares a traditional recipe dish from their heritage, offering a delicious way to experience different traditions. Initiate "culture chats," giving each person the opportunity to share and celebrate their unique backgrounds. Set up a shared cultural board or digital space where everyone can post photos, articles, or stories about their cultural traditions, festivals, and experiences. What are you doing to celebrate Inclusion Week 2024? Let's commit to making a meaningful impact together! 💪 #InclusionWeek #ImpactMatters #DiversityandInclusion #Culturaldifferences #TPPRecruitment

What is National Inclusion Week? Founded by Inclusive Employers, National Inclusion Week (NIW) is a week dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive workplaces. The theme for National Inclusion Week 2023 is Take Action Make Impact, a call to action for all in the organization, from leaders to I&D professionals – teams and individuals. Take Action Make Impact is a powerful message that aims to get organizations and individuals thinking about what actions they can take and what positive impact these actions could and should have on marginalized colleagues.   One of the exercises I do in my leadership and DEI training is to ask everyone to remember a time "they felt excluded." It might have been in elementary school when the cool kids would not sit with them at lunch. It might have been in college, work, or a business event. The fact is that everyone has felt excluded at one time in their life, Once they remember that time, I ask them the following questions: 1) What happened? 2) How did they exclude you? 3) How did you feel? 4) Why would you pass that feeling on to anyone else?

National Inclusion Week: Are You An Ally? ... National Inclusion Week is not just an annual event; it is a powerful reminder of the incredible strength that emerges when we celebrate our differences and strive for unity. It's time to reflect on the remarkable journeys of individuals who have faced adversity, broken barriers, and triumphed over exclusion and those allies that have supported. It serves as a beacon of hope, lighting the tunnel towards a more inclusive world, where everyone has the opportunity to be heard and shine. Inclusion is not merely a concept; it is a transformative force that launches society forward. When we embrace diversity, we tap into an otherwise hidden pot of creativity, innovation, and resilience. National Inclusion Week reminds us that together, we can overcome any challenge, and by uplifting those around us, we elevate ourselves. As we mark the end of a week of celebration and reflection, let us pledge to be champions and allies of inclusion every day, not just during National Inclusion Week. Let us strive to create environments where every voice is heard, every talent is recognised, every individual can be themselves and is valued for who they are. National Inclusion Week reminds us that the journey towards inclusion is ongoing, and the destination is a world where differences are not just accepted but celebrated. Together, there is no limit to what we can achieve. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #NationalInclusionWeek #BeYourself #StrongerTogether

 🌎🤝Embrace Diversity, Foster Belonging! 🌎🤝 It's National Inclusion Week, and we're thrilled to celebrate the strength of our differences and the power of unity. 💪💞 The theme this year focuses on Take Action, Make Impact. A reminder for all organisations to think about what actions they can take and what positive impact these actions could and should have for marginalised colleagues. Businesses that embrace diversity and inclusion in all aspects of their business statistically outperform their peers. But it means much more than just that. At the Movement we believe in building inclusive workforces, where every perspective matters and where diversity is celebrated. Let's stand together to build a world for future generations that truly celebrates our unique identities.
