Employees don’t believe the narrative: Employees chose to join or leave organisations based on their perception of whether a firm is genuinely committed to DEI. Even if some leaders are great inclusive leaders, it just takes one to have a huge negative impact. Re-setting the story and the compass for DEI in 2024 will set you up for real success and a real measure of where you need to head, with a broader level of accountability around SUCCESS! If you would like to understand the rationale for this approach, check out my article: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲-𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰. https://www.rfr.bz/lnpr9hu

I’ve been involved in many change programmes across my career and love to keep learning. “It isn’t the changes that do you in, it’s the transitions.” William Bridges. Change is situational, an org restructure for example. Transition is the psychological internalising of the details of the new situation that the change brings about. One of the best books I’ve read about change management and easy to read and understand. It is an excellent book for anyone but especially anyone involved with organisation change. It is really helpful to understand the difference between the practical elements of change and the psychological stages that people have to go through to move through the change processes sucessfully.

Monday x Whyte & Mackay Neurodiversity in the Workplace: The latest chapter in leadership training from Craig Kennedy and Kirstian Findlay, Chartered FCIPD I am on a personal journey in my understanding of diversity. I'd like to think I am pretty well-read. So too, would the Leadership Team. Yet, we all took something new, insightful and provocative away. It reinforced a couple of points too; 1. Culture Grows It takes work to create the right conditions for a positive workplace culture. What form that work takes, shifts. What worked last, may not work now. 2. Individuality Matters We are all diverse. The challenges are; breadth of that diversity and how we make certain our community is inclusive. That includes providing a safe, welcoming environment for people, whether or not they have shared 'all of themselves' at work.

"However, it’s crucial to recognise that AI and robots cannot replace qualities such as empathy, creativity, critical thinking, leadership, negotiation and innovation. Companies that prioritise these human attributes in their talent management approach can gain a distinct advantage in an era dominated by digital technology and automation." A great article coming out of South Africa and the impact of remote work at AI. Definitely, two things transforming the workspace, but they need to be understood more than feared. #LeadandLetLive Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gCvg-SSR

🔍 Exploring Business Challenges with Childlike Curiosity 🚀 While en route to the Tower of London with my family, my children’s questions about the Crown Jewels sparked a reflection on the power of curiosity. Children naturally think dynamically, creatively, and with unbridled excitement. They ask questions without hesitation, opening doors to new perspectives and ideas. This experience got me thinking: how can we harness this childlike energy to approach our business challenges? How can we cultivate an open mindset that allows us to explore new possibilities without limiting ourselves? Embracing curiosity can be transformative. It encourages us to challenge assumptions, seek diverse perspectives, and experiment with new ideas. By fostering a culture of curiosity, we can inspire innovative thinking and drive meaningful change in our organizations. How do you encourage curiosity and open-mindedness in yourself and your teams? Share your thoughts below! Let’s learn from each other and embrace the power of curiosity in our workplaces. #Curiosity #Innovation #BusinessMindsetq

Today is International HR Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the incredible HR professionals around the world. It's a time to spotlight the invaluable and irreplaceable role HR plays in helping organizations thrive. We recognize and celebrate the positive impact HR brings to both organizations and their people. As a proud HR professional, I know how essential our work is. Often, HR gets blamed for organizational issues, with a focus on disciplinaries, ER cases, dismissals, performance management, and sickness absence. However, today, let's reflect on how HR functions add value to our organizations. This year's theme is "HR Shaping the New Future," focusing on four key areas: 🔦 Ethical use of technology and AI 🔦 Future workplaces 🔦 People leadership 🔦 Continued innovation in skills and education These themes are crucial as we work together with HR to create a workforce equipped with the skills and digital solutions needed for future success. As a Black woman in HR, I've often felt isolated, not seeing many people who look like me in senior roles. The lack of ethnic diversity in HR is a challenge we must address. We need to create a more diverse pipeline of HR professionals. HR functions should review diversity data and strive to be more representative of the communities that it serves. I recently spoke with Adese O., CEO and founder of Black Women In HR - BWHR, to learn more about why she established the organization and its impact since inception - Have a listen here - https://lnkd.in/eiTEEREi To all my HR heroes, don't let your organization lead you to imposter syndrome. You are amazing and add immense value. Without HR, organizations would be dysfunctional. Yes, we have work to do, but let's celebrate the value we bring. No HERO without HR! Happy International HR Day!

What I love most about The Returners Launchpad Programme is how it combines practical advice, coaching, and real conversations. Coming back from family leave can be tough—you’re juggling work demands with the challenges of being a parent. This programme offers helpful strategies and a supportive space to share your experiences and feel understood. Participants have found it incredibly useful, saying it helps them get organised, boosts their confidence, and provides just the support they needed. Our next open group starts this autumn, and we can also customise it and run it in house for your organisation. Get in touch by sending me a message today if this is something you would like to know more about. #WorkingParents #TheReturnersLaunchpad #MaternityLeave #FamilyLeave #TalentRetention #EmployeeExperience

‘I feel being a white heterosexual middle aged man is career limiting right now!’ We’ve all heard it! How do we help men to understand that this is not statistically or factually true – and that we need their help to support creating inclusive cultures? The approach that works is to focus on ‘inclusive culture’ and what’s in it for them to dedicate the time to become inclusive leaders, rather than ‘diversity, diversity and more diversity!’ Check out my article: Helping men to lead on D&I https://www.rfr.bz/llld2zw
