Exploring the diverse strategies and ideas implemented by leading firms to foster inclusion, diversity and equity is both enlightening and inspiring. Inclusion, indeed, is the cornerstone upon which successful diversity initiatives are built. By creating environments where every individual feels valued and empowered to contribute, organisations lay the foundation for a diverse workforce to thrive. As HR counterparts, I believe that we have a unique opportunity to collaborate with business leaders in driving these initiatives forward. By emphasising the importance of inclusion as the precursor to diversity, we can help shape organisational cultures that are truly equitable and representative of the communities they serve. #InclusionDiversityEquity #IDE #InclusiveLeadership

It's National Inclusion Week! 🎉 I've championed inclusion long before it became a trending topic. While awareness days are great, they shouldn't just be a checkbox on the corporate calendar. 🚫 Instead, let's use this opportunity to learn, grow, and drive real change because #ImpactMatters. 🌱 As a recruiter, I've witnessed the transformative power of inclusion in workplaces. Three inclusive recruitment practices I believe every workplace should adopt: ☕ Flexible working options by default. 🙅🏻♀️ Objective hiring criteria (no vague 'cultural fit'). 🤝 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) for fostering inclusivity. Let's keep the conversation going and push for inclusion - not just this week, but every day. What are your thoughts on creating equitable hiring processes? Let's discuss! 💬👇 #NationalInclusionWeek #Diversity #Inclusion #Recruitment #FMCG #WorkplaceCulture #HR #TalentAcquisition #Leadership #TalentManagement #InclusiveWorkplace

A uniting factor within all of us is the desire to feel like we belong. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are. #HR #HumanResources #Inclusion

Inclusion isn’t just a concept—it’s the foundation for innovation and success. As it's #NationalInclusionWeek, I'm reflecting on the insights from CIPD Festival of Work, where inclusion leaders shared their thoughts on how embracing neurodivergent perspectives is transforming workplaces, driving business success and making a real impact. Let's work together to continue building workplaces where everyone can work to their full potential! #ImpactMatters #Inclusion #Neuroinclusion #InclusiveWorkplaces
