For any organisation, it is important to continuously reflect on how to deal with equality and diversity, not just in representation, but safety is critical to improving and just place to be. Who will speak for me? Who will understand me? Who inspires me? Who is enabling excellence? #TransculturalLeadership

Hope your #ConstructionInclusionWeek Day 1 went well & you gained some new perspectives about the differences between equality vs. equity and how both impact inclusive leadership. We want to hear from you- please take the Day 1 Survey to ensure we capture your feedback & key learnings!

Real World Group’s Embracing Diversity Inventory (EDI) helps you understand the extent to which your leadership culture supports or discourages diversity and inclusion. It is an evidence-based tool that results in a comprehensive overview & analysis of your leadership culture. It is highly practical and helps you create targeted initiatives that create a fairer, more successful and inclusive culture. Steve Walker-Whitehead - Director of People, Equality & Organisational Development, London Borough of Hounslow kindly shares his experience of working with Juliette Alban-Metcalfe and the wider team here at Real World Group Steve discusses how they applied Real World Group’s EDI as part of their commitment to ensuring they are a truly diverse and inclusive Council and also in refreshing their values. Watch the video to find out more about the outcomes and the impact of the EDI, and how London Borough of Hounslow were able to precisely gather the information they needed and create targeted interventions to enhance their culture. #inclusive #inclusiveleadership #edi #diversity #inclusion #leadership #organisationaldevelopment #culture #leadershipculture #inclusiveculture #evidencebased #organisationalsurvey #edisurvey https://lnkd.in/eVSm3nGB

💡 Do you believe that when one person’s rights are taken away, it diminishes the rights of us all? Human Rights Day, celebrated on December 10th, is a reminder that human rights are universal. Every person, no matter their background, identity, or circumstance, is entitled to dignity, freedom, and justice. 🌍✊ As leaders, we have a responsibility to ensure that these rights are upheld—not just in the world at large but in our teams, workplaces, and communities. A truly inclusive leader recognizes that when we stand up for the rights of others, we strengthen the foundation of equality and respect for everyone, including ourselves. 🌈👩🏾🤝👨🏼 🔑 The lesson for leadership? Champion diversity. Fight for inclusion. Be a voice for the unheard. Because when we foster environments that respect and uplift human rights, we create organizations where people thrive, innovate, and bring their best selves to the table. Let’s lead with empathy, respect, and a commitment to human rights for all. ✨ #HumanRightsDay #EqualityForAll #InclusionMatters #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #StandUpForRights

Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, I'm reflecting on what it means to #InspireInclusion in our #workplaces and #communities. To me, inspiring inclusion is about creating environments where every voice is not just heard but truly valued. It goes beyond the numbers; it's about ensuring that everyone has the tailored support they need to grow, evolve, and succeed. #DiversityAndInclusion #Empowerment #Leadership #Growth Hatch Brenner Solicitors

"Equity over Equality" Let me unpack what this means. Equality suggests treating everyone exactly the same, providing identical resources or opportunities to all. But in reality, not everyone starts from the same place, nor do they have the same needs or challenges. Equity, on the other hand, acknowledges these differences and strives to provide each individual with what they need to thrive. In my journey as a leader, I've learned the importance of understanding the unique circumstances of those I work with. It's about recognizing that fairness isn't always achieved by treating everyone identically, but rather by addressing their specific needs and circumstances. Incorporating equity into leadership isn't always straightforward. It requires empathy, active listening, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. But the impact it can have on individuals and communities is immeasurable. #equityoverequality #Ieadership #diversity #empowerment

What does good practice look like? How do we assess inclusion and engagement? What makes someone an inclusive leader? All these questions can be really challenging to give difinitive answers to. But identifing behaviours which maintain inequalities and fail to achieve the stated outcomes, that is much easier. Many organisations sabortarge their own progress in the achievement of Diversity Goals.
