Today marks the end of National Inclusion Week, a week dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create an inclusive workplace for all. Creating an inclusive workplace that regularly recognises our staff’s contributions is an important aspect of APR’s values. Back in June, APR celebrated LGBTQ+ Pride, with several excellent events taking place throughout the month. Our book club, Actureads, held a very special podcast session for Pride. We discussed the QueerAF podcast with most of the conversation focusing on the two episodes “Why does Disney still hide it’s gay characters?” and “The life of a trans activist”. We had an interesting and far-reaching discussion on the importance of representation, activism and what a company’s duties are in making sure LGBT+ people get accurate recognition and representation. In London, our staff attended a Queer Comedy event in Hackney where, despite an impressive commitment to keeping a low profile, we were referred to as “the Real Housewives of Insurance” by one comedian. In Dublin, we attended a Drag Bingo event (with plenty of drinks but no wins!), and our Edinburgh office were treated to a night of fun at a Ball Pit bar (yes, we’d never heard of that either!). It is vital to recognise the importance of creating an inclusive workplace and more information on National Inclusion Week can be found here: https://lnkd.in/deBDkkz #NationalInclusionWeek #Diversity #Inclusion

Celebrating National Inclusion Week: Why Intersectionality Matters We are all shaped by our identities—whether it is race, gender, class, disability, sexual orientation, or even the social roles we play every day. Each one of us stands at the intersection of these identities, which means the challenges we face are as complex as we are. National Inclusion Week, this year takes place from 23rd to 29th September, with thanks to Inclusive Employers https://lnkd.in/ga6VZZRm we are encouraged to reflect on why a commitment to understanding and embracing intersectionality—a place where we can find common ground and collective strength—benefits us all. National Inclusion Week is a reminder that inclusion does not look the same for everyone. For the Civil Service Race Forum, being inclusive means understanding how our overlapping identities IMPACT not just how we experience the world, but how we achieve true inclusiveness, which is more than any single factor like race or gender—it is about seeing the whole person. This year’s theme is ‘IMPACT Matters’, a call-to-action for everyone in your organisation, from leaders, to inclusion professionals through to teams and individuals, to challenge ourselves to think about inclusion in ways that celebrate and IMPACT the complexity of lived experiences. So as we prepare for next week, let us ask ourselves how can we create spaces where everyone, no matter what intersection of identities they occupy, feels heard, respected and empowered. Make a difference this #NationalInclusionWeek—by championing the power of intersectionality. 💡💪 #InclusionMatters #Intersectionality #Diversityandinclusion #NationalInclusionWeek2024

Happy National Inclusion Week! 🌍 This week, we’re reflecting on how important it is to create truly inclusive spaces, not just for our team, but for the young people we support. We agree with Inclusive Employers, who organise this week, that each one of us holds the potential to make a profound and positive impact. This belief applies to every young person we work with, as they develop the essential skills and confidence to make a positive difference in their own communities. But it doesn’t stop there - every workplace has a responsibility to create those inclusive spaces where everyone feels they belong. Want to learn more about how we’re working to foster inclusion?

🌍 National Inclusion Week 🌍 This week, at Darlington Building Society we’re celebrating National Inclusion Week, and we couldn’t be more passionate about creating a workplace where everyone feels empowered to be their true, authentic selves. 💙 Inclusion is not just a buzzword for us—it’s at the heart of everything we do. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background or identity, should feel valued and recognised for their individuality without being segregated or singled out for it. Our goal is to continue building our culture where diversity thrives, and every individual feels like they belong, knowing that their unique perspectives make us stronger. Together, let's continue creating a workplace where every voice is heard and everyone feels seen. #NationalInclusionWeek #AuthenticityAtWork #InclusionMatters #BeYou #DiversityAndInclusion

🌍 Happy National Inclusion Week! 🎉 This week is all about celebrating diversity and ensuring that everyone feels welcome and valued, no matter their background, identity, or ability. Inclusion isn’t just a goal, it’s a mindset we can practice every day! 💡 Key actions you can take: 1. Listen to others’ experiences - understanding is the first step. 2. Challenge stereotypes and call out discrimination when you see it. 3. Create spaces where everyone feels heard, included, and safe to be themselves. Together, we can build a more inclusive world. Let’s keep the conversation going! #NationalInclusionWeek #InclusionMatters #TeamLidl

National Inclusion Week is a time to celebrate diversity and commit to creating workspaces where everyone feels seen and valued. 💡 Inclusion goes beyond just having different voices at the table. It's about recognising the importance of intersectionality—the ways in which people's identities overlap and shape their experiences. As employers, embracing intersectionality is key. Acknowledging that challenges are not the same for everyone, means our solutions must reflect that. This is where impact matters and employers must involve everyone in their organisation in the conversation. 🌟 Learn more about how to become an inclusive employer of choice, by speaking to one of our team: https://lnkd.in/eiAaJQQ6 #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #Intersectionality #Empowerment #NIW
