 Exciting Collaboration! Introducing the Inclusion Support Questionnaire (ISQ):   We are thrilled to announce a ground-breaking collaboration between RSM UK alongside their esteemed Head of Governance, Karl George and the Housing Diversity Network. Together we are committed to providing you with best innovative insights and tools to drive diversity and equality in your workplace and for your customers to new heights.   The ISQ has been inspired by the pioneering RACE Equality Code which provides a robust accountability framework to provide organisations with the opportunity to address the specific challenges around Race and EDI. Now we are taking our shared mission a step further, and we couldn’t be prouder to include HDN in our very first collaborative initiative with the Housing Sector: the Inclusion Support Questionnaire (ISQ).   The ISQ is your compass, helping you navigate towards a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered. Its primary purpose is to facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of your current inclusion practices and where you are in your EDI journey. By leveraging this tool, you will have a baseline for several key areas aligned to the RACE Equality Code under the RACE principles Reporting, Action, Composition and Education/Culture.   Through this you’re not just embracing diversity; you’re also driving positive change, both within your organisation and across the broader community.   Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this transformative partnership.   The ISQ is available to every organisation irrespective of size or sector - get ready to take the next step on your inclusion journey: Complete using the link below and receive a free summary report of actions to drive improvement. Together we can move the dial on EDI. #diveristy #inclusioninhousing #housingsector #changemakers #socialhousing #rsmuk #housingdiversitynetwork #hdn #housingassociations

Sankarsingh-Gonsalves Productions co-founder Neil Gonsalves was invited to contribute to the Community Voices section of April 2024 edition of ‘The Diversity Forum’ by Winning Inclusive Solutions: WINS: Diversity is Strength - (A not-for-profit that promotes inclusive policies in Canada’s workforce). Read the entire newsletter below and the see valuable contributions intended to continue the dialogue on DEI By Neil Gonsalves: The Canadian demographic landscape is rapidly changing, and change brings both new opportunities and renewed resistance. Healthy organizations leverage the strengths inherent in cultural plurality by promoting respectful discourse and prioritizing viewpoint diversity. Cultural competence and sensitivity is the outcome of promoting diversity without being divisive. Organizations are responsible for setting the internal cultural tone, and they benefit from practicing DEIB as an operating principle rather than an a performative activity. Offering an invitation to collaborate and cooperate based on common purpose and common humanity allows all employees to find a space and a place within the organization free from binary labels. The simple truth often hidden in plain sight is that there is usually more diversity within groups than between them. Organizations can help individuals develop cultural competence by enabling them to resist the social pressure to conform to simplistic and deterministic narratives based on immutable characteristics. #diversitymatters #sgp23 #dei

Diversity is a fact. Equity is the process where systemic barriers to equal access are removed. Inclusion is YOUR active decision to get everyone at one table. Belonging is the result you want to create, a workplace where everyone feels they belong, are valued, heard, seen, and fairly promoted. I have empowered customers to create an inclusive company culture since the past year with Desiree Jonek | Boutique Consulting 🟠 - this year we continue offering DEI services also via WOMENTOR 🟡 My co-managing partner Josefine Schulze brings her valuable expertise in assessing the data-driven impact of DEI and sustainability programs - what a powerful combination, isn't it?

DEI strategy is the most important thing. As we know,(DEI) strategy is a pivotal step for any organization looking to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in its workplace or community. DEI strategy is designed to help the organization become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive in terms of its workplace, policies, and practices. Strategy is a plan of action that an organization puts in place to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the company. #celebratediversity #celebratediversitymonth #augustanacollege #augustana #diversity #diversityandinclusion #diversitymatters 

When I started actively posting on LinkedIn 2 years ago, I could've never imagined the amazing community that I would build. This post was such a beautiful example of that. There's something so special about the people who call your name in rooms that you've never and may never step into. Chantele Campbell MPA, M.Ed., CDP, thank you! I know it may have been small to you, but it touched me. And I wanted to just take a moment to give you your flowers. Also, her presentation was so good, y'all! So if you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely an insightful lunch break watch. In my little corner of LinkedIn, we build each other up, support each other, hold each other accountable, fangirl over each other, give constructive feedback, understand that we're not just experts, powerhouses in the space, but also humans, and we take time to celebrate that humanity. I love this corner. When folx ask what sets LinkedIn apart it's this- the ability to go from... mutual admiration of each other's work... to colleagues... to active parts of each other networks... and then ultimately to champions and friends. 👇🏽 If you have a colleague, a friend, a champion to celebrate, take a second to tag them and do so in the comments below! 👇🏽 #communitybuilding #linkedincommunity #networking

Many organizations use diversity, equity, and inclusion as a corporate slogan, but most often neglect the importance of integrating #humanrights in business as the essential basis of #DEI and any #employeeengagement programs. #CorporateAdulting #ExecutiveMaturity #PeopleStrategy https://lnkd.in/gqkppD4k
