Today is World Smile Day 😀 Let’s celebrate the power of a smile—simple, yet so impactful. Whether you're in the office, at the gym, or connecting virtually, a genuine smile can uplift spirits, foster connections, and break barriers. It’s a universal gesture that transcends language, cultures, and roles, creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued. As we strive for more inclusive workplaces and communities, never underestimate the ripple effect a single smile can have. It reminds us that inclusion isn't just about policies—it's about everyday actions. https://lnkd.in/e436RDq6 #WorldSmileDay #InclusionMatters #PositiveImpact #IncludingYou

Embracing Pride vibes? 🌈 We are, too! This #PrideMonth, let’s talk about the role brands play in fostering inclusive and accepting communities. 88% of consumers feel motivated when they’re part of a team, and 70% prefer brands that show true commitment to diversity and inclusion. It’s time to ditch the cookie-cutter approach. We’re done with forced conformity and single narratives. Brands, let the spirit of Pride guide you: connect authentically, embrace diversity, and stay true to your values. Build a community where everyone can express their unique selves, not just mirror the brand. Let’s create spaces where colorful expressions and diverse voices thrive. The more vibrant, the better. 🌈 Ready to uplift your community? Let’s celebrate individuality and inclusivity together! #makeyourboldstroke #creativeagency #MOTM

🌟 Exciting Journey in DEI but first - plan and strategy 🌟 It’s been over a week since we have the workshop with Participants from Employee Networks with the inspiring Susanna Romantsova. It was enriching experience. We delved into understanding the essence of allyship in the DEI context, identifying the crucial role of allies in promoting equality and inclusivity. The workshop equipped us with essential skills allowing us to better support groups within our organizations. One of the highlights was discussing how to create comprehensive DEI action plans tailored to organizational needs, goals and the importance of building partnerships with various stakeholder groups to promote equality and inclusivity. I can’t wait to apply these insights at my workplace. Huge thank you to Susanna and all the Participants for making this workshop impactful experience and Ewa Przeździecka, Anna Sendrowicz, Maja Zabawska for giving us opportunity to develop in this field. What are your plans connected with making DEI strategy happen in your workplace? #DEI #DiversityAndInclusion #Workshops #ProfessionalDevelopment #Allyship #EmployeeNetworks #DeloitteInfluenceNetwork #ChooseYourImpact #InfluenceNetwork

In today's diverse workplaces, listening isn’t just a skill—it is a powerful tool for creating meaningful change. For colleagues from ethnically diverse backgrounds, being truly heard can make the difference between feeling included or overlooked. Having facilitated multiple listening sessions, I’ve seen firsthand the benefits they bring, which include: ⭐ Foster Inclusion: Listening sessions create a safe space for colleagues from ethnically diverse backgrounds to share experiences and feel heard, promoting a sense of belonging. ⭐ Inform Change: Insights from these sessions help identify barriers and shape more equitable policies and practices. ⭐ Build Trust: Actively listening demonstrates a commitment to understanding and addressing the unique needs of diverse employees. If you’re looking to learn how to organise a listening session or explore the benefits they can bring, feel free to reach out to me, or share your thoughts in the comments below. #listeningsessions #diversityequityinclusion #inclusiveworkspaces #race

Civility and DEI: Partners in Building Better Workplaces Civility has been gaining attention in workplace conversations, and for good reason—it creates a foundation for respectful dialogue and collaboration. But while civility is essential, it’s not the whole story. To build truly innovative and thriving workplaces, we must connect civility with something deeper: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Civility encourages us to listen, but DEI ensures that everyone is heard. Civility invites us to treat others with respect, while DEI challenges us to ensure fairness, representation, and belonging. These ideas don’t compete—they complement each other. When we approach DEI through the lens of civility, we create a welcoming space for the challenging yet meaningful conversations that lead to progress. And when we prioritize DEI, civility gains purpose—it’s no longer just about being polite but about fostering genuine connection and understanding. This is an opportunity for all of us to lead with courage and clarity, showing that workplaces don’t have to choose between being civil and being equitable. We can—and should—be both. What do you think? How can we use civility as a bridge to bold action toward building Equitable and Inclusive workplaces? #LeadershipRIFFS #DEI #Inclusion #Equity #Civility #WorkplaceCulture
