With the election just around the corner, many of us will be wondering what this means for issues relating to diversity and inclusion. How are each party planning to tackle social injustices? And beyond our vote, what can we do to influence change in this area?
Knowledge is power, so taking the time to educate ourselves on important issues is a key step in driving change. We’re running a Disability Pride Masterclass on 22nd July to provide a strong foundational understanding of the disabled rights movement and tips for implementing effective disability inclusion in your workplace and beyond.

Workers fired for faking activity
What's happened? A US bank has let go more than a dozen workers for "simulating keyboard activity." This refers to regularly moving your computer mouse on a laptop which has its activity monitored - the movement gives the impression the worker is present and active when in fact the user is not engaged in work. The act became well-known during the great work-from-home experiment of the pandemic.
Were they right to be let go? The act of faking being incessantly active on your laptop is an absurd notion. Surveillance of employees became commonplace during the pandemic, but it can really damage a workplace culture by eroding trust and respect between employer and employee. While we don't have all the information available to us, if we assume the work was being completed to a satisfactory standard, is continual keyboard activity really necessary?

Women still face discrimination in football
In fact, it appears to be rising... A new study from?Women in Football?shows 89% of women in the football industry experience discrimination.
This is an increase from 82% in 2023 and 66% four years ago. Furthermore, of those who reported an incident at work,?over 60% say no action was taken to address the discrimination. This feels at odds with wider society in which women in football feels more and more normalised, and celebrated in fact.?A record 46.7 million people watched women's sport on television in 2023, and the Women's World Cup final?was 2023's most-watched women's sport event on TV. The discrimination is clearly happening behind closed doors however, and with no action being taken to address it, it will continue to thrive. Something to keep in mind as we enjoy the men's Euros this summer.
