This is a timely reminder as we approach the International Day of People with Disability. Small actions, empathetic leadership, and open conversations are steps towards fostering environments where everyone can thrive. Let’s continue building workplaces that value contributions and break down barriers, focusing on abilities, not limitations. What’s your top tip for creating an inclusive workplace?

Respecting Boundaries in the Workplace As employers, it's essential to maintain a professional and respectful work environment. However, there are certain lines that should never be crossed. Here are a few examples: Weight and appearance: An employee's weight or appearance is not a reflection of their abilities or work ethic. Avoid making comments or jokes about someone's weight. *Health and medical conditions*: Refrain from asking intrusive questions or making assumptions about an employee's health or medical conditions. Personal relationships and family matters: Respect employees' privacy regarding their personal relationships, family matters, and living situations. Mental health and wellness: Avoid making light of mental health issues or pressuring employees to disclose more than they're comfortable sharing. Cultural and social differences: Be sensitive to and respectful of employees' cultural backgrounds, social identities, and personal values. Remember, maintaining a positive and inclusive work environment requires empathy, understanding, and respect. You know someone who needs to read this?

Inclusion is a fragile beast, often fleeting in nature. One minute you have it, the next it’s gone, and you’re left, excluded. It’s often not deliberate, just overlooked. Has this ever happened to you and if so, what did you do? 👎 Feeling excluded causes social pain and can lead to a loss of confidence, and a loss of motivation to contribute and cooperate. It makes us feel invisible. 👍 Feeling included allows us to feel respected, accepted and valued for who we are and what we bring to the workplace. Inclusive leaders understand this is what serves to unlock the existing potential in their employees, raising psychological safety and nurturing a culture of care. What have you found helpful to help you stay feeling included more often? #bullying #workplacebullying #socialpain #inclusivity #workculture #psychologicalsafety #happinessatwork #mentalwellbeing

🌟 Reflecting on an Empowering Experience 🌟 I recently had the incredible opportunity to host an event focused on "Boundaries in the Workplace," and I must say, it was a transformative experience for me personally. As someone who has always identified as a people pleaser, the concept of setting boundaries has been a challenging one throughout my life. I've often found myself prioritizing others' needs over my own, sometimes at the expense of my well-being. However, this event opened my eyes to the power and necessity of establishing clear boundaries. Throughout the discussions, I learned that boundaries are not barriers but essential tools for creating a respectful and productive work environment. They allow us to protect our time, energy, and mental health while fostering mutual respect and understanding among colleagues. Hearing from inspiring speakers and engaging with participants who shared their own experiences was incredibly empowering. I walked away with a renewed sense of confidence and a commitment to communicate my boundaries more effectively at work. I am grateful to everyone who participated and contributed to this important conversation. Together, we are taking steps towards a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and empowered. A special thank you to Women on the Move and our Allies for supporting this initiative. Let's continue to champion the importance of boundaries and support one another in our journeys. #Boundaries #WorkplaceWellness #WomenOnTheMove #Empowerment #PersonalGrowth

How do organizations define inclusion? Is it merely about numbers & ticking off a check box or is it about cultivating a culture where everyone feels heard, supported and valued? In today’s world, corporations have the opportunity and even the responsibility to build an environment where inclusivity isn’t just a target or an ideal, but a daily practice. It’s not solely about being “diverse enough”, the focus needs to shift on fostering spaces where diversity thrives. DEI initiatives are no longer just “nice-to-haves”, they are essential drivers of organizational success, ensuring that all employees feel supported and empowered. The consequence of this is that people feel more confident showing up as their authentic selves, leading to effective collaborations & professional development. An inclusive workplace opens the door to innovation & growth, building teams that are more engaged and resilient. Having partnered with leading organizations in sectors across hospitality, media, finance, technology and more, we’ve truly come to understand the unique needs of corporates to help foster a culture of care & support for all their employees. As a queer affirmative mental health organization, our DEI initiatives are curated to transform your workplace into a space where everyone feels they belong. We’re looking forward to partnering with organizations that care about fostering an environment of inclusivity! Let’s schedule a call & discuss how we can together bring a shift in workplace culture - you can connect with us through our page: https://lnkd.in/gNdEhGqa or through email: [email protected]. #DEI #Diversity #Inclusion #Workplaces #CorporateCulture #HumanResources #WorkplaceMentalHealth
