🌟 This Race Equality Week, we're embracing a powerful theme: Listen, Act, Change. 🌈 It's more than just a week; it's a call to action for all of us to play our part in creating a fairer, more inclusive world. This is a time to listen to the stories that matter, to take action in our communities, and to be the change we wish to see. 🌍 👂 Listen - This week, let’s open our ears and our hearts to listen to the experiences and voices of people from diverse backgrounds. Every story, every voice, is a step towards understanding. 🏃♂️ Act- But listening is just the start. We're encouraged to take action, no matter how small, to promote equality and challenge racism. From educating ourselves and others to standing up against injustice, every action counts. 🔄 Change - Together, we can create change. By listening and acting, we contribute to a culture of respect, understanding, and equality. It's about building a community where everyone belongs and is valued. Race Equality Week is our moment to come together and reflect on how we can contribute to a society that respects and values diversity. It's about making a commitment to listen, act, and change not just for a week, but every day. Let's use our voices, our actions, and our power to make a difference. Share your thoughts, your commitments to change, or how you're taking action with the hashtag #ListenActChange. Together, we can build a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone. 💖 Join the movement. Be the change. 🚀 #RaceEqualityWeek #ListenActChange #CelebrateDiversity #YouthForChange #REW2024

IN THE SPOTLIGHT – The Growth Company “During Race Equality Week we want to ensure that we are giving all colleagues the opportunity to discuss the actions that we take to support inclusion and offer feedback that will inform our future actions.

This Race Equality Week, we've embraced the theme of #ListenActChange. We've listened to our colleagues, acted on their feedback, and implemented positive changes. But change starts with each of us. That's today we invited our colleagues to make a commitment to action through the Big Promise. Some of the things that colleagues have promised from across the firm include: * Calling out racism and microaggression when they encounter it. * Expand and diversity their network with people from other backgrounds. * Learn and proactively act anti-racist. * Offer ideas and suggestions for how we can improve within the firm. As well as a range of meaningful commitments from senior leaders within the firm. We invite WM colleagues who have taken part so share their promises below - if they wish. As Race Equality Week draws to a close, we're reminded that our journey towards inclusivity doesn't end here. We're committed to striving for a more inclusive firm every single day of the year. #ListenActChange #RaceEqualityWeek #TheBigPromise #WalkerMorris #forgeYourOwnPath LINK:

In line with #RaceEqualityWeek2024, this week we were honoured to have contributed in Race Equality Matters' Big Collaboration event. We are proud of our strategic partnership with REM and our commitment to tackling race inequality in the workplace. This week is an opportunity to generate awareness, conversation and most importantly, action, to address the barriers facing race equality in the workplace. #RaceEqualityWeek is important because, despite the incredible positive momentum for change, we know that there’s still a lot more work to be done – there are still visible and invisible barriers that people of race must overcome – be it in work or not. We are appreciative to have a workforce with rich cultural backgrounds and we value the unique qualities and experiences every one of us can bring to the table regardless of race, faith, gender, sexual orientations, background or ability. We know embracing difference is not only the right thing to do, but also the smart thing to do. It helps us to create innovative solutions for our customers and communities, and to achieve our business goals. Below, Michael Burgess, Chief People Officer at Amey, comments on the importance of diversity in the workplace. ⬇️ #RaceEqualityMatters #RaceEqualityWeek #ListenActChange #ItsEveryonesBusiness

Today marks the beginning of Race Equality Week! The theme for 2024 is #ListenActChange, which focuses on taking action to address race inequality in the workplace. To show your organisation's support for Race Equality Week, here are five ways you can promote Racial Equality in your workplace: 1. Clarify your organisation's stance and values by publicly specifying your position of anti-racism to all stakeholders and providing examples of overt and everyday racism to avoid confusion. 2. Create a systematic approach for practical action to identify and tackle the causes of race inequalities and discrimination in your organisation. This should be evidence-based, guided by data about your workforce make-up, customer base and people's views of your organisation. 3. Commit to sustained action through visible leadership and a willingness to change by ensuring there is a race champion within your leadership team to take responsiblity for progress and to focus attention on delivering change. 4. Critically assess your people management approach to create a fair and inclusive workplace culture where to racial diversity is an asset, not a problem. 5. Connect your employees by creating safe spaces and times to talk, share experiences and learn from eachother. At Stop Hate UK, we are dedicated to fighting against Hate Crime, one phone call at a time, and aim to help anyone experiencing hate because of their race. We offer training courses for all organisations to help them uproot deeply ingrained discrimination from their institutions.

It’s Race Equality Week. A week to engage in some organisational introspection and think about how we can all become better allies for our colleagues. This year’s theme is #ListenActChange ▪ Listen: Listen, be curious, ask open questions, and include everyone at every level. ▪ Act: Work with colleagues to understand appropriate action to ensure people feel like they belong by acknowledging the things that can make people feel excluded - from taking the time to correctly pronounce someone’s name to calling out microaggressions. #itseveryonesbusiness ▪ Change: Ensure diversity and inclusion is more than just a policy document. By taking action we can create a culture where everyone belongs, fostering an energised, purposeful and engaged workplace.   At Zircon we believe in creating a culture of psychological safety; ensuring everyone is given time to speak up and contribute.   If you would like to know more about Race Equality Week, there are some great resources and actions you can take on this website: https://lnkd.in/d3ffm8F Have you seen positive action for a more inclusive workplace within your organisation? Let us know what's made a difference for you.   #raceequalityweek #mynameis

‘Championing diversity in Race Equality Week 2024 – Listen, Act, Change’ In Defra Digital, Data, and Technology we are proud to be participating in Race Equality Week. Throughout this week, Race Equality Week will unite thousands of organisations in action to seriously address race inequality in the workplace. A UK-wide initiative, Race Equality Week was launched by community interest company Race Equality Matters to turn words into meaningful action; a movement spurred on by the events of 2020, which have heightened the country’s collective consciousness of the racism, inequality, and injustice experienced by ethnically diverse communities. Building on the 2023 theme, which sent a clear message that race equality is everyone’s business, the 2024 theme of #ListenActChange will bring everyone together to focus on taking action to drive change. Teams in our organisation will be taking part in the 5-day challenge by spending 5 minutes each day reflecting on small changes which can make a real difference. Each day is a different theme and supports discussion on a variety of topics. Join us by participating in #RaceEqualityWeek2024 #ItsEveryonesBusiness
