   Episode #8 Avoiding the echo chamber and getting men involved

   Great to have affinity groups but how do we include and involve everyone in these discussions.   this was one of the reasons by Brian came up with Confessions of a working father as typically individuals thing about motherhood, maternity leave and the desire for part-time working but parenting affects a lot of men as well.   Men feel less inclined to talk about their concerns but their mental health is just as important and has been neglected and needs a real focus.  Brian highlights that men’s suicide rates are higher than women's.    Brian believes that if we can ignite the conversation and get it out of the ‘women’s network groups or LGBT groups and enable everyone to feel like they belong.    Brian also believes that Diversity and Inclusion should not be divisive and we should open the dialogue up around the concerns which people have otherwise we are unlikely to move forward.   Brian highlights the importance of including Diversity on the mainstream events showing that we are all in this together is where we will start to show progress.    Let's work on it together [Amazon] are doing work on Unpacking masculinity

We also explore recruitment practices, specifically the misguided belief that ‘Diversity’ recruitment initiatives alone will simply drive Inclusion and create Belonging. Laks shares some of the work he undertakes within the Metropolitan Police Service to ensure people feel they are valued and belong in the workplace.  This including championing the work of others, encouraging others to step forward and be visible, and getting staff associations to work better together so they can be more representative. By fostering a sense of belonging Lak’s believes that it provides a platform where people are willing to give something back, to make things better for others, and is a fundamental aspect of creating inclusive practices.

   In this episode, we talk with Heath Gunn – CEO of Enham Trust Enham Trust is a disability charity that provides services to over 6500 disabled people each year that focus on an individual’s abilities, enabling them to live a life of independence, choice, and control. Over almost 100 years Enham Trust have facilitated opportunities for hundreds of thousands of disabled, elderly and vulnerable people to live the lives they choose, as independently as possible. During this episode, we explore how organisations can become disability confident and how they can create a culture of inclusivity.   You’ll receive practical guidance on ways in which all employees can feel supported and valued for the gifts and talents that they have rather than limited because they have a different kind of ability. Enham Trust was founded at the end of the first world war and the village, which is owned by the Trust was a gift from the King to support war-wounded soldiers returning back from the first world war.   Enham Trust has three main areas for supporting individuals with a disability this includes housing, care, and employment.   Their philosophy is to: Support individuals to have a place to live which is suitable for their needs, accessible, enabling them to move around their homes freely. To receive a level of care which is supplementary yet complementary to an individual’s unique life needs, allowing independence. To support those with a disability to gain employment or meaningful occupation, providing social and economic independence. Heath helps to bust some myths regarding sickness absence, he shares some practical steps companies can take when it comes to making reasonable adjustments and highlights that not all disabilities are visible.

They provide companies with the technology to gather feedback from their people and turn that data into insight which enables companies to build data-driven and people led strategies. Their vision at The Happiness Index is ‘Freedom To Be Human’ which to them means: People are treated as a human and not a number. They can bring their true self to work and not have to adapt to their workplace culture. They have a voice. Their innovative approach has seen them win numerous awards including New Business of the Year at the European Business Awards and the Innovative Employee Engagement award at the UK Employee Experience Awards 'Always-On' – isn’t about employees being accessible within an organisation 24/7 but more that employees are able to provide in the moment feedback to the company on how they are feeling. Always-on is fundamentally transforming the way employees provide feedback to their organisations. No longer is feedback controlled by the organization. It puts the power in the employee’s hands by allowing them to: Provide feedback on any topic they wish. At any point in time they want Via a medium that fits around their style of communication. Always on helps employees raise issues in the moment and allows companies the opportunity to address them before they escalate. Always on influences diversity, inclusion and belonging because it helps to frame strategic conversations.  Everything they do at The Happiness Index is linked back to our vision of freedom to be human, and revolves around bringing your true self to work.
