Understanding and Inclusion of Ex-pats and Migrant Employees
Understanding and Inclusion of Ex-pats and Migrant Employees
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.

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.

Failure to process these responses significantly damages our wellbeing and productivity, causing burnout and lack of resilience.

Inclusive Sport: Addressing bullying and banter through an anti-racist lens
Inclusive Sport: Addressing bullying and banter through an anti-racist lens
An inclusive organisation is one where everyone has a clear understanding of acceptable forms of behaviour and where there are a range of effective mechanisms in place, should the line be crossed. Where these approaches are absent, employers are at risk of expensive, time-consuming legal action, reputational damage and a loss of morale and productivity amongst staff.

ADHD in the Workplace
ADHD in the Workplace
ADHD as a neurotype is vastly misunderstood in mainstream society. It has many negative connotations associated with it ranging from it not being considered ‘a real condition/neurodivergence’ to the stereotype that it’s only about hyperactivity and distraction.
This ADHD Awareness Month we’d like to highlight not only what ADHD actually is and the challenges ADHD people face, but the benefits that ADHD can bring and how to support someone with ADHD in the workplace to create the best working environment.
