Being Antiracist takes courage and action. It is about visibly challenging discrimination and engaging in conversations that will lead to action and change. Over the past couple of years, there has been a spotlight on Antiracism like never before. This webinar will explore the progress that has been made, share examples of real change, and explore what our individual and organisational next steps should be on this journey.
Following Dyspraxia Awareness Week (October 10, 2022 - October 16, 2022), this webinar will help raise awareness and understanding on one of the less discussed conditions under the Neurodiversity umbrella.
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.
This session will explore why supporting menopause in the workplace is business critical rather than a nice to have well-being initiative. Join us for an interactive webinar designed to encourage discussion, collaboration and promote a positive, inclusive culture where it’s ok to talk about menopause.
Islamophobia is prevalent in the UK today. It can come in the form of microaggressions to hate crimes, including stereotyping, bullying, verbal comments, discrimination, barriers to employment, inaccessible policies, harmful media portrayal, physical violence and in many other ways. This November, Islamophobia Awareness Month, we’d like to highlight and raise awareness of what our Muslim colleagues are facing on a daily basis and how to empathise, support and ally them so that we can create an inclusive workplace for all.
Socio-economic background has a substantial effect on workplace inclusion. It is not protected under the Equality Act 2010, but does intersect with protected characteristics, which is why it is essential it is included in all inclusion and diversity strategies. This webinar explores how social background impacts the availability of opportunities and the intersectionality of class, social background, education, race and gender.
International Men’s Day occurs annually on the 19th of November and is dedicated to highlighting the contributions of men and boys in their communities, but also raising awareness of issues faced by men physically and mentally in society, and how men can be positive agents of change for all by role modelling and demonstrating allyship. Join us for a webinar where we will discuss the impacts of stereotypes and societal expectations on men’s health, both mental and physical, the intersectionality of men’s identities and how men can actively engage in allyship and show the younger generation how to empower themselves and others to create more safe and inclusive environments.
Transgender Day Of Remembrance is an annual event on the 20th of November which honours the memory of the trans people whose lives were lost in acts of transphobic violence during the previous 12 months. Every year vigils and ceremonies are held across the world to remember those we have lost and to raise awareness of the violence trans people face while simply trying to live their lives. We will be running this webinar to highlight the transphobia the community is experiencing today, to demonstrate how to be trans inclusive in your organisation and how to ally your trans colleagues so that they can feel safe and comfortable in their working environment.
UK Disability History Month takes places between 16th of November and 16th of December. This webinar will aim to celebrate the history of the Disabled community, the impacts the Disabled community and disabled activists have had on our society and culture in the UK and the improvements we have seen for all as a result of disability activism.
Inclusive language is central to inclusive spaces, yet there are both overt and more subtle challenges holding us back.
When we can talk about inclusion and exclusion, we can begin to understand the challenges and make improvements. Yet, fear of getting it wrong is the overt challenge that holds many of us back. Because language changes, evolving over time, we can find ourselves worried that the words we have to explain what we think and see aren’t the right words.
The more subtle challenge is less about the words and more about the context in which we use them. Stereotypes are biases that we’ve picked up from our environment. These often influence our communications without us realising it. For example, talking about a female engineer, or a male nanny. Adding gender to the role, when we wouldn’t do that for the opposite sex. Subtly reinforcing that these are not normal within our society. Subtle ‘othering’ through our language sends messages on the status quo for different groups, making it more difficult to challenge and change.
Performance management is an important part of any organisation and its operations. It’s about monitoring, managing and empowering your team to work to the best of their abilities. It’s not a once a year review, or a one step process, it’s about a series of practices which run on a constant ongoing basis. If, as managers and leaders, we are conscious about conducting performance management in an inclusive way, we can ensure we are supporting everyone’s needs and goals so that they can perform to their best and excel in their job.
The conversations in the inclusion and diversity space have expanded and developed vastly over the last couple of years, but where are we now and where do we need to go next? This webinar aims to reflect on the progress we have made so far, but to highlight there’s still much work to be done and how we can go about addressing this and continue pushing the conversations forward to ensure inclusive and safe working environments for all.
