The themes for National Inclusion Week have evolved over the last 10 years. We have progressed from ‘Think Differently’ in 2013, through to ‘Connect for Inclusion’ in 2017 and in 2021, ‘United for Inclusion’. This year’s theme, ‘Time to Act: The Power of Now.’
This year’s National Inclusion Week theme highlights our belief at Inclusive Employers that a more action focused approach to inclusion is needed to bring about impactful change.
Join us for the launch of National Inclusion Week 2022 for a panel event reflecting on the last 10 years of NIW, progress on I&D in the workplace and a look to the future.

This will be an opportunity to understand how those outside of sport can benefit from the rich learning and proactive response to tackling racial inequalities.
Over the last 10 years we have seen improvements to inclusive recruitment practice however we still hear examples of terrible experiences suffered by marginalised groups going through the recruitment process.
In this webinar we will cover the recruitment lifecycle discussing where the potential pitfalls are which may exclude (intentionally and unintentionally) diverse candidates from becoming employees. We will cover what barriers are faced by diverse groups of people in the recruitment process and what changes organisations can make to recruitment practices to be inclusive.
Inclusive Leadership is vital for inclusive cultures to thrive; leaders need to lead from the front, to role model behaviour, ask curious questions, listen generously and to share their own experiences.
This webinar will look at the behaviours leaders can demonstrate everyday and the impact these can have on their colleagues and their organisations and give you some tools to help you reflect on your own leadership style. We will think about kind leadership and what that means in terms of managing and supporting colleagues and ultimately creating a high performing and inclusive environment.
Migrant and ex-pat colleagues contribute to a huge proportion of the UK workforce. Some of these individuals have come to experience life in the UK, some to bring their speciality skills, some out of necessity. Whatever the reason, our migrant and ex-pat colleagues enrich our organisations bringing diversity and differing perspectives. This comes with great benefits, so we must do all that we can to make sure our migrant and ex-pat colleagues feel welcome and comfortable in their workplace environment.
How effective are your staff networks? Does your organisation have any? And have you considered just how beneficial they can be? What can you introduce if your organisation is too small for individual networks?

Join us for a packed event hearing organisations share insight and best practice around key areas of Workplace Inclusion. This event will also be an opportunity to celebrate the successes of our CMI qualified students and Accredited Inclusive Employer Standard organisations from the last 12 months.
The BLM movement shook the world in 2020 following the tragic death of George Floyd, with sport taking a strong stand in unity against racism. As we move towards creating anti-racist organisations in sport and physical activity (SPA), we need to understand the history and current landscape for ethnically diverse people across all aspects of our sector, from the board room to the playing field.
Black History Month is celebrated all around the world at different times of the year. In the UK we dedicate October to this.

This year along with educating our members on the historical facts we will also celebrate the voices of today, who have dedicated their lives to taking action and making change.
Around 2 million people in the UK live with sight loss and every day 250 people begin to lose their sight. In line with National Braille Week (commencing Oct 7th) and World Sight Day (Oct 13th) we’d like to increase understanding and awareness of partial sight and blindness, and how to support those who have a form of sight loss or who are experiencing sight loss over time in our organisations.
Over the past two years, our workspaces have been impacted by dramatic change. Although change, trauma and day to day stressors all effect our emotional responses, societal conditioning and stigma often mean the impact is not authentically addressed. Failure to process these responses significantly damages our wellbeing and productivity, causing burnout and lack of resilience. Through this webinar we will explore the importance of fostering emotional agility to improve workplace wellbeing.
