Reflecting on 2023...

Welcome to the 15th edition of our LinkedIn Newsletter, "Inclusion and Diversity Learning Circle"! Created by Diversity Inclusion, the I&D Learning Circle provides you and your organisation with best-practice tools, resources, and information, which can be directly applied to your workplace’s I&D program, affecting real and transformational change.??

Reaching Goals

In this edition of our newsletter, we are taking the opportunity to reflect on our achievements and learnings during 2023. This year marks are first complete calendar year of publishing this newsletter for our community every month! We are proud to share our newsletter and our knowledge and insights across topics including creating respectful workplaces, fostering psychological safety and sponsorship and how all these approaches can support your workplace reach its diversity, equity and inclusion goals!

We are also thrilled to share that at the beginning of 2023 we had 2,000 subscribers to this newsletter and, at the time of writing, we had a total of 3,985 subscribers! Thank you to all our subscribers; we are very grateful to your support!

2023 has been a busy year for the Diversity Inclusion team! We welcomed Josie Miller to the team and expanded into our new offices in Unley, South Australia! The team has delivered our Call It Out Program, Sponsorship Program, Inclusion Baseline Survey and Psychological Safety Program to clients across Australia and overseas, this year. We are also thrilled to be extending our Call It Out Program with 'Part 2: Negative Behaviours' with some of our long-term clients including TasNetworks, Junction Australia and Coopers Brewery.

Expressing Gratitude

We would like to express our gratitude to our clients of 2023, without whom we would not exist! While we hope you gain a lot from our services and expertise, we want you to know that we also learn so much from you!

At our final Call It Out workshop for 2023, this week, we received the following feedback from participants...

The workshop was enlightening in many ways!

A great workshop on an important topic that, unfortunately, is common within the workplace. The two facilitators were articulate and friendly too :) well done!

The scenarios helped to really show the various behaviours in actions. Loved going through the different responses!

We are really grateful that participants take the time to share their feedback with us and it helps us stay motivated as we feel we are making a difference through the work we do!

Looking to the Future: 10-Year Anniversary

The Diversity Inclusion team are excited for 2024 and how we can support workplaces to become more diverse and inclusive! In 2024, we are also excited to be celebrating our 10-Year Anniversary...more on this shortly!
