What are you doing to drive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion this month? At Wiggett Group, we believe that diversity is our strength. We know that embracing unique perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds allows us to think more critically, collaborate more effectively, and drive innovation. That's why we're committed to building a workplace where all employees, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability status or other differences, feel valued, respected and heard. When we make diversity, equity and inclusion a priority across our organisation, we unlock the full potential of our team. We make better decisions that reflect the customers we serve and the world we live in. We foster empathy, understanding and belonging. During Black History Month and beyond, we pledge to keep learning, keep growing and keep working to promote diversity and inclusion in all its forms. Because we know that when people from diverse backgrounds and experiences come together, we can achieve our highest purpose - to move the world forward.

In celebration of Black History Month, with its focus on inclusivity and diversity, we wanted to take some time to highlight those in our Unbridled community who are committed to belonging and inclusion. Here at Unbridled, we recognize that inclusivity and diversity can’t be confined to one month of the year. That’s why we have the Belonging Team. These nine outstanding individuals understand that an Unbridled community takes all kinds. Here’s what a few of them had to say about how “belonging” impacts them: “Belonging to me means feeling like you can be your authentic self and not be judged but supported and celebrated!” -Addi Kurronen “I keep a copy of Unbridled’s Diversity Statement taped to my monitor so that no matter what I’m working on, I have a reminder to keep our commitment to creating a diverse, caring community my focus. I resonate most with the opening line – An Unbridled Community Takes All Kinds. What that means to me is that not only do we need all kinds of people to be successful, but more importantly we accept all kinds of people and that inclusivity makes our team stronger.” - Diane Rudolph “To me, the belonging team at Unbridled represents the very soul of our company, a group of compassionate people dedicated to fostering an environment where every individual feels seen, heard, and cherished. I believe being inclusive and making a conscious effort to understand each other is one of the kindest things you can do for people. Every day, I think about how fortunate I am to be at a company and on a team working tirelessly to bring people together.” -Avery Walker Thank you to our Belonging Team members for keeping diversity top of mind. When everyone has a seat at the table and feels like they belong, we are so much better for it. The ACTS team wants you to know that you belong, you matter, you are loved, and you are valued. #unbridledacts #beunbridled #love2life #community #care #connections #engaged #belonging #diversity #inclusion #Unbridledfamily #ourpeople #blackhistorymonth Unbridled Productions

April is Celebrate Diversity Month and Edelstein’s IDEA Council will be recognizing this through weekly trivia questions. The answer to last week's question was, B) Providing fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all individuals, while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of some groups. This week's question is, What does the term "belonging" signify in the context of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)? A) Fostering an environment where individuals feel accepted and valued for their unique identities and contributions, promoting a sense of community and acceptance. B) Ensuring that all individuals are treated equally and have access to the same resources and opportunities, regardless of their background or identity. C) Creating spaces where marginalized groups are given preferential treatment to compensate for historical injustices and disparities. D) Promoting the representation of diverse perspectives and identities within decision-making processes and organizational structures. Which response are you going with?

April is Celebrate Diversity Month, a time to honor the richness of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that enrich our world. Diversity is our strength, encompassing various identities and experiences that make us unique. Diversity is not just a buzzword; it's a fundamental aspect of the human experience. From ethnicity and race to gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, and beyond, diversity encompasses a broad spectrum of identities and experiences. Each person brings a unique story, worldview, and set of talents to the table, enriching our communities and broadening our understanding of the world. At its core, celebrating diversity is about fostering inclusivity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background or identity. It's about creating spaces where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to be their authentic selves. By embracing diversity, we can break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and build bridges of understanding and empathy across divides.💖

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you just didn't belong? 🤔 This sensation is more common than we might think, especially in the workplace, and it's crucial we talk about it during Black History Month. As we navigate the complexities of inclusion and the subtleties of exclusion, let's dive deeper into our experiences to foster a truly inclusive environment. 🌱 Inclusion goes beyond just being invited to the table; it's about feeling valued, heard, and respected once you're there. Contrastingly, exclusion can often be subtle - a missed invitation to a meeting, being talked over, or the casual disregard of your suggestions. These moments, though small, can significantly impact one's sense of belonging and worth in a team. To gauge your environment, ask yourself: Do I feel respected for my contributions? Am I given equal opportunities to express my ideas? The answers to these questions can illuminate the inclusivity of your workspace. 💡 This week, I encourage you to share your stories of inclusion or exclusion, no matter how big or small. Reflect on how these experiences made you feel and what actions or changes made a difference. As an ally, I'm here to learn and support, not to lead the conversation. Your insights are invaluable in creating workplaces where everyone feels they truly belong. Let's use this discussion to learn from each other and take actionable steps towards a more inclusive culture. #InclusionMatters #BlackHistoryMonth #AllyshipInAction #DiversityAndInclusion What's one step you can take this week to promote inclusion in your workplace?
