Colleagues attending our first in-person Colleague Networks Conference in Birmingham for National Inclusion Week
It’s been a busy few months for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) activity, as we’ve shared resources and information to celebrate National Inclusion Week, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month, Black History Month, ‘Movember’, World Menopause Day and Transgender Day of Remembrance. It’s all available on Workplace if you haven’t taken a look yet. Looking ahead, between January and March we’ll be focusing on LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and others) History
Month, International Women’s Day and Transgender Day of Visibility. #CountMeIn by updating your diversity data Everyone’s circumstances can change over time so we’re asking all colleagues to review and update their diversity data on myHR-ESS. Accurate diversity data will enable us to develop our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, helping us to value and celebrate the diversity within our organisation.
Use #CountMeIn in our Everyone Is Welcome group on Workplace when you’ve updated it. Whether you’re hybrid working, work at a location, care home, or are office-based, you’ll hold or attend meetings with colleagues. Our ‘Inclusive Meetings Guide’ is a useful resource to help you plan and hold meetings which allow everyone to feel included and teams can use as a break-out activity.
