Advancing inclusion and diversity

"Heathrow is one of the most diverse places on the planet. At the heart of it, our business depends on the ability to understand the diversity of our passengers, recognise their differing needs, and provide them with excellent passenger service. This simply isn’t possible without also ensuring we utilise a diverse range of thoughts, skills and experience." 

Sim Sian, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Heathrow, shares how the business is seizing the opportunity to focus on inclusion in the wake of George Floyd's death.

New discrimination case law update!


Discrimination caselaw helps us navigate our response to decisions and behaviours with confidence – a key part of a D&I practitioners toolkit.

In this edition we are sharing two Landmark cases: Dekker v VJV-Centrum (8 November 1990), relating to pregnancy and maternity, and Levy v McHale Legal Ltd (May 2019), relating to age.
 
We are not lawyers at Inclusive Employers, but experienced practitioners who understand what employers need to know. Here the legal judgement is set into an employment context – what you need to know and what you should do. Enjoy!
 
 
 

Sharing Lived Experience, Baring Our Souls 


Deborah Dillon, Inclusive Employers Associate, has over the past few weeks spoken more about race than she has in the past four decades - in her blog she questions the cost to her own well-being and that of others who have found themselves doing the same.

Steven Copsey and Yvy DeLuca in conversation on Zoom last week

Do you see, value and include others? Are you seen, valued and included? Last week our colleague Steve Copsey, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant, talked to transactivist, Yvy DeLuca. Here, Steve shares the key conversation points from the webinar, what we can learn from Yvy’s experiences and how we can be a part of the solution.

Inclusion is what Inclusive Employers is all about, but it’s really important to remember how we achieve that inclusiveness – by recognising and valuing differences and going out of our way to talk to different people and experience different perspectives.

On Thursday 23rd July I was lucky enough to “sit down and have a chat” with Yvy DeLuca. This was in one of our regular webinar slots, but was far from one of our usual webinars. For those of you that don’t know Yvy, she’s a trans Indian woman, an activist, an artist and an author. She was raised in a working class, Muslim family and is now a practising witch.
