Race Equality Week is an annual UK-wide movement uniting hundreds of thousands of organisations and individuals to address the barriers to race equality in the workplace.
Taking part enables organisations to:
- Listen: To the needs of your people and what challenges they face in your organisation
- Act: Collaborate with colleagues or your internal race networks to understand what actions can be put in place to create or enhance an inclusive working environment
- Change: When you take action, you inspire your colleagues to do the same which helps others to learn and play a part in making a difference
Get involved by signing up here for Race Equality Matters 5-Day Challenge here. 5 Challenges, 5 Minutes, 5 Days – Created for Race Equality Week.
The 5-Day Challenge has five different activities for all your colleagues to engage in over five days. The activities are designed to help employees reflect on and, most importantly, take action to drive race equality. Each daily activity takes just five minutes. They include: Five key themes; Eye openers; 2-3 minute short videos; and simple actions that can make a big difference
There are also ready-to-go, downloadable PDFs for each day that can be distributed to employees or accessed via your organisation’s employee portal. On the last day, everyone will be ready to make a Big Promise.
