Thoroughly enjoyed this webinar by the Institute of Directors (IoD). People often shy away from discussions around religion in the workplace, its makes people uncomfortable, scared to say the wrong thing, a taboo subject. However understanding the various groups and intersectionalities in society is not just a ‘good thing’ to do, a tick box exercise, a legal compliance, there’s a tangible business benefit to consider. The workplace and your customer base is changing. Demographics prove this. By understanding and embracing diversity and inclusivity, you’re opening your business up to a wider audience, higher levels of engagement, higher conversions. In short, you will make money from people. Cos isn’t that the aim for most businesses? People will not convert as customers if they don’t feel you understand or value them. Don’t be scared to have the conversation, so lets actively improve our cultural intelligence.

Just finished reading an insightful article on ADWEEK discussing the critical intersection of marketing to marginalized communities and systemic racism. It's a powerful reminder of the responsibility we have as marketers to ensure our campaigns are inclusive, respectful, and representative of all individuals. This topic is more important than ever, especially in light of ongoing conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion in our society. As marketers, we have to stay true to these principles by actively listening to underserved voices, amplifying their stories, and collaborating with diverse creators and influencers. We can do this by: 1️⃣ Conducting thorough research to understand the unique needs and experiences of different communities, ensuring messaging is authentic and relevant. 2️⃣ Prioritizing inclusion and taking meaningful action to combat systemic racism. The work is an ongoing commitment to educate ourselves, engage in difficult conversations, and work towards a future where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. #InclusiveMarketing #SystemicRacism #DiversityandInclusion https://lnkd.in/gEyD2tR8

Yes, October 9th is behind us for this year—but choosing one date to celebrate Ageism Awareness Day just gets it into the news. Our real job is to keep awareness going, and to advocate for a society that respects and values people of all ages. To do that, we need to recognize ageism whenever and wherever it occurs; keep the focus on the real problem (a culture that allows it); and call people in, inviting everyone to be a part of the solution. There are many important things to discuss, and this is one of them. Talk About Ageism #100WordsOnEverydayAgeism #TalkAboutAgeism

Ageism isn't always obvious. It can be as subtle as a comment about someone being "too young" or "too old" for a task, or as overt as discriminatory hiring practices. If you notice ageism, call attention to it. Use it as opportunity to educate those around you about why it is harmful. What are you doing to become more aware of ageist attitudes around you? The #CanadianCoalitionAgainstAgeism's resources can help you with that! https://ccaageism.ca/  #EliminateAgeism  #AgeismAwareness2024 #RecogniseAgeism

📊Last week, I published the results of my monthly research poll for April. The question: How do you define AGE DISCRIMINATION, AGE BIAS, AND AGEISM? ❓The choices: (1) THE SAME, (2) DIFFERENT, (3) I’M NOT SURE, and (4) I DON’T KNOW. 🌎Also, for the first time since conducting these research polls, there was a significant increase in global participation--FANTASTIC! 👍My short presentation accompanied the April poll results and my analysis. 🔗I provided a link to the entire April research poll results/analysis in the comments for your convenience. 👉Always remember, my friends… 💥KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! #AgeBias #AgeDiscrimination #Ageism #Presentation #SlidePresentation #WednesdayWisdom

Over half of Americans see racial discrimination as a very serious problem today, with stark differences based on race, politics, and age 💔 While 83% of Black adults report it as a major issue, only 47% of White adults agree. The divide is real, and the experiences of racial minorities tell a powerful story ☝🏻 It's time for honest conversations and meaningful change. Please give us a thumbs up if you agree. #EqualityForAll #EndRacism #DiversityMatters

In light of today's #rejectfinancebill protest, it's evident that Generation Z is reshaping political activism. Corporations need to pay close attention to this generation. They are bold, candid, and unafraid to voice their opinions. Their ability to mobilize through various social media platforms is impressive and transformative. This marks a significant shift in both the work and political environment. It's time we embrace and listen to this generation, as they hold the power to make or break a brand in an instant. I am incredibly proud of these developments. Now, turning our attention to the middle class, largely comprised of the working millennial generation. We remain the most significant obstacle to reforms. With just a bit of the boldness exhibited by Gen Z, we can transform the political landscape and corporate culture for the better. #PoliticalActivism #GenZ #CorporateCulture #Millennials
