UK: Creating a Culture of Psychological Safety, Diversity, and Inclusion
Health and Safety Expert, Heather Beach, says that training leaders and managers are key to creating a workplace culture of psychological safety, diversity, and inclusion. This means training leaders to understand how their actions impact the work environment, training managers to manage well, and doing a stress risk assessment. Beach also explains the benefits of having more women in the health and safety profession, including diversity, comfort, and better emotional intelligence. With these actions, companies can create a more inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels safe and valued. 💪🏽👩🏾💼🌈

US: How Diversity in Teaching & Faculty Can Improve Education
New research shows that K-12 students benefit from having teachers who look like them. Studies indicate that Black students who have at least one Black teacher by third grade are 13% more likely to enroll in college. At the college level, having diverse faculty can improve student completion rates and build empathy, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Students looking for online degrees may want to consider faculty diversity when choosing a school. There are now more diverse online bachelor’s programs where students can encounter more faculty members from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Look for schools with a higher percentage of diverse faculty members to gain a more inclusive education. 🎓🧑🏾🏫📚
Canada: Improving Immigrant Integration and Boosting Economy
📈🇨🇦🤝 Canada’s Bridging Divides program aims to help newcomers integrate into Canadian society, as immigration continues to be the main driver of population growth. The $98.6 million initiative will explore areas like health, technology, civic participation, and the labor market, seeking ways to bridge the divide between immigrant and non-immigrant communities. Failing to integrate newcomers means missing out on valuable skills and talents, so Canada is taking action to create a more inclusive society.
Asia: Women’s representation on Asian boards still lags
👩💼👨💼💼Asia is lagging behind its global peers in terms of female boardroom representation, according to analysis by MSCI and BofA Securities. Despite a 7% improvement from 12 years ago, only 20% of Asia’s boardrooms are made up of women, with Japan and South Korea trailing even further behind. BofA noted that while more companies in the region are disclosing gender data, the gap in wage, employment, and boardroom representation between men and women remains large. With female boardroom representation a key metric in tracking global progress on gender equality, there’s clearly work to be done.
How to make your DEI wins known to your Staff, Clients, Customers and Business Partners
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are important in today’s Workplace, Business and Society. DEI can help organizations tap into a broader pool of talent and perspectives, which can lead to increased innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. By creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace, businesses can attract and retain a broader range of employees, which can enhance their competitiveness. As markets and customers become more diverse, businesses that prioritize DEI can better understand and serve the needs of their customers. This can help increase customer loyalty and drive revenue growth. A workplace that prioritizes DEI can help create a more positive and supportive work environment. This can improve employee engagement, productivity, and retention rates. Employees who feel valued and respected are more likely to be motivated to perform their best work. Promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential not only for ethical and social reasons but also for achieving business success and meeting legal requirements. DEI pulls together more colourful experiences, invites opportunties, improves staff satisfaction, customer engagement and organizational reputation.
