Thinking differently in November
Cherry Professional - Relationship Led Recruitment
Empowering everyone we work with to achieve their goals and ambitions
As we move into November, the days grow shorter, but the opportunities to make a meaningful impact remain abundant. This month, we're highlighting Men’s Health Awareness as part of Movember, encouraging conversations around both physical and mental well-being. We're also gearing up for World Kindness Day on November 13th—a timely reminder to bring empathy and understanding into our daily interactions, especially within the workplace.
At Cherry Professional, we believe that kindness is fundamental to building inclusive environments. As part of this, we’re focusing on the importance of supporting neurodiversity in the workplace, embracing the unique strengths and perspectives neurodivergent individuals bring. In this month's newsletter, we share strategies to foster a culture of kindness, insight into boosting team motivation, and tips to finish the year on a high note.
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming event, "Understanding Neurodiversity at Work," designed to give employers, HR professionals, and leaders the insights they need to create more inclusive workplaces. Taking place soon, this engaging session will explore the unique strengths of neurodivergent employees and provide practical strategies to support them effectively.
From adapting communication styles to making small but impactful changes in your workplace practices, this event promises to equip you with valuable knowledge and tools. Whether you’re looking to make your team more inclusive or simply want to learn more about neurodiversity in the workplace, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
You may be an experienced HR professional, responsible for hiring talent into your company or work in a leadership role with people/hr/recruitment responsibilities. Either way this event will be invaluable to you.
Spaces are limited, so book now to secure your spot and be part of the conversation shaping the future of inclusive work environments.
