SUMMARY:Understanding Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism is currently the fastest-rising form of racism in the UK. This alarming trend has led to an estimated 70% of British Jews feeling the need to hide their identity. The situation has grown so dire that nearly 50% of British Jews have considered leaving the country since October 7\, 2023. This rise in antisemitism highlights a critical need for increased awareness\, understanding\, and proactive measures to combat anti-Jewish racism and foster a safer\, more inclusive environment for all. Inclusive Companies is proud to partner with Understanding Antisemitism Matters to deliver this thought-provoking webinar on ‘understanding antisemitism’. \nContents: \n• The history of anti-Jewish hatred goes back 2\,000 years.\n• Recent statistics.\n• Real-life stories about the everyday lived experience of Jewish people.\n• Tools to create inclusive workplace environments.\n• A platform for employees to share experience and ask questions. \nKey Learnings: \n\nAwareness Gap: Many people lack awareness but are eager to listen and learn beyond their social media feeds.\nInclusive Conversations: Frame discussions by emphasising that supporting one community does not come at the expense of another\, reducing the discomfort of such conversations.\nStarting Conversations: You don’t need to be an expert on the Middle East or the history of antisemitism to discuss the Jewish experience.\nBlind Spot on Antisemitism: Antisemitism often isn’t viewed as racism and isn’t condemned like hatred against other minority groups. The term “antisemitism” can be confusing; “anti-Jewish racism” is clearer\, but we use “antisemitism” initially as it’s more familiar.\nEmpathy Misconception: People often mistakenly believe empathy is limited. In reality\, the more empathy you show\, the more you generate.\n\nRachel Vecht & Michal Oshman have 50 years‘ experience between them of nurturing inclusive workplace cultures\, retaining talent\, Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion & Belonging. They are thrilled to share their knowledge and encourage you and your colleagues to join the discussion. This impactful webinar is not one to be missed.    \n\n\n\n\nCo-facilitated by: \nRachel Vecht \nFounded Educating Matters in 2001 and partners with D&I\, L&D\, HR and ERGs to support employees worldwide. She guides\, educates and builds awareness around inclusion and culture change\, providing employee wellbeing training across many varied sectors. \n\nMichal Oshman \nDrove culture and leadership at TikTok and Meta where she used a blend of spirituality and leadership principles to create compassionate workplaces. As a bestselling author and TEDx speaker\, she shares her insights on culture\, growth\, and career success. \n\n

DESCRIPTION:In a series of webinars promoting Inclusive Best Practices from a variety of sectors\, Inclusive Companies are delighted to partner with the University of Hull to take a deeper dive into their commitment to Inclusion. \nThe University of Hull were recently shortlisted for the Inclusive Culture Initiative Award at the Inclusive Award for their pioneering Human Living Library Project\, an initiative designed to deepen understanding and awareness within the university community by capturing and sharing authentic\, lived experiences. \nDuring this webinar\, learn from the team behind the project and how they are expanding its reach by collaborating with other institutions and networks focused on Equality\, Diversity\, and Inclusion (EDI). Discover how the project documents the impact of societal changes on our understanding of diverse identities and helps shape a more inclusive and aware community at the University of Hull. \n Key Topics Covered: \n\nHuman Living Library Project: Discover the origins\, purpose\, and ongoing impact of this initiative. Explore the online resources\, including videos\, quotes\, and stories that foster self-guided exploration of biases.\nEDI Transparency Report and Video: Gain insights into the latest EDI Transparency Report\, highlighting the university’s commitment to inclusion. Understand how the Transparency Video promotes awareness and demonstrates the university’s progress on EDI initiatives.\nEDI Governance and Reporting: Learn about the structures in place for effective EDI governance at the University of Hull. Explore the processes and reporting mechanisms that support accountability and continuous improvement in diversity and inclusion.\n\n\nFacilitators: \n \nHayley Pickard – Dumas Head of EDI\, Health and Wellbeing at the University of Hull. I have worked at the university now for almost 3 years and before that spent 14 years in policing conducting various roles. In late 2017 a role in EDI came up in Humberside Police and I jumped at the opportunity to bring my passion for equity to life and influence others to see the benefits of inclusive practices. During the last 3 years here at UoH\, my team and I have transformed how we approach Equality\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion. We have introduced a new governance structure\, reinvigorated staff networks\, raised awareness around inequalities and together with our colleagues across the institution started to tackle systemic issues in HE. We know that we have a long way to go to becoming a fully inclusive employer and education provider but are committed to working hard every step of the way.” Hayley Pickard – Dumas Head of EDI\, Health and Wellbeing at the University of Hull.

SUMMARY:So you think you’re inclusive? Creating a genuinely disability inclusive workplace
DESCRIPTION:With 1 in 3 of us impacted by disability\, disability inclusion must be embedded throughout your organisation. This requires it to be ‘business as usual’ as opposed to something that is considered an ‘extra’ or an ‘add on’. However\, disability is a huge topic\, and it can be difficult to know where to start your journey of building a disability inclusive workplace. \nThis interactive webinar is designed to empower organisations to foster disability inclusion by addressing three critical areas: creating an inclusive workplace culture\, enhancing recruitment practices through a disability lens\, and effectively engaging with disabled students in early careers recruitment. \nWe will start by looking at how to create a genuinely inclusive workplace culture where employees feel empowered to be open about their disabilities and have equitable access to the support they require to thrive. We will then move on to look at inclusive recruitment; whilst no organization intentionally builds barriers into its recruitment processes\, unintended obstacles often remain. This segment will include reviewing your end-to-end recruitment process through a disability lens in order to identify potential barriers at each stage. And finally\, we will look at student recruitment. With an increasing number of disabled students graduating from universities\, organisations must adapt their approaches to tap into this talent pool. As well as authentic engagement it will also require organisations to challenge their traditional assessment methods which often rely on rigid assessments\, communication skills and cultural fit. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will: \n• Understand how to cultivate an inclusive culture that encourages openness and supports all employees. \n• Be equipped to identify and address barriers in recruitment processes\, ensuring fairness and accessibility. \n• Learn actionable strategies to engage with disabled students\, strengthening early careers recruitment and developing future leaders. \n\nAbout the facilitator  \nHelen Cooke\, CEO of MyPlus\, is a leading authority in disability employment\, with specific expertise in student recruitment. She founded MyPlus with the vision of ensuring that disability is no barrier to career success. \nThrough MyPlus\, Helen empowers organisations to build disability inclusive practices & recognise the value of hiring disabled talent; clients include bp\, EY\, J.P. Morgan\, Linklaters\, and the BBC. \nHelen also established the MyPlus Students’ Club\, an innovative platform providing disabled students with essential resources and confidence to successfully transition from education to employment. The website also profiles inclusive employers and connects them directly with this increasing talent pool. \nHelen’s approach is shaped by her HR and recruitment background\, along with lived experience as a wheelchair user. Helen began her career with Marks & Spencer and Mars before founding MyPlus in 2005. Listed on the SHAW TRUST Disability Power 100 and Cranfield’s Women to Watch\, MyPlus is also a Valuable 500 member and a Level 3 Disability Confident Leader.
