PPE for all | RLB signs SHP’s inclusive PPE campaign ledge   RLB is delighted to have signed SHP’s inclusive PPE campaign pledge.   Ill-fitting PPE affects worker’s ability to do their job effectively, causing discomfort and potential injury. This campaign aims to drive industry change by ensuring that properly fitting PPE, taking into account the user’s individual requirements, is no longer seen as best practice, but the minimum standard for all.   By signing the pledge, RLB demonstrates our proactive commitment to providing well-fitting PPE, supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce.   For more information or to sign the pledge click here: https://lnkd.in/eRMQM2Aj   #HealthAndSafety #RLB #Construction #Inclusion #CreatingABetterTomorrow

The NAWIC Male Allies Program is launching on July 26th, and we're excited to show you a glimpse of what your learning journey will look like with our five self paced digital modules. 🤝 Foundations of Inclusion: Develop a comprehensive understanding of gender disparities and their impact on both individuals and the wider organisation. Foster empathy and awareness of the challenges women face in male dominated industries. 🤝 Breaking Bias: Identify common stereotypes and biases affecting women, and understand the consequences. Increase awareness of and overcome unconscious biases utilising tools for recognition. 🤝 Allyship in Action: Define the role of a male ally, applying strategies to support female colleagues, and understanding the importance of bystander intervention. Develop skills in mentoring and sponsoring women for career development. 🤝 Driving Change: Apply techniques that promote diversity and inclusion in teams and the wider organisation. Identify and address microaggressions, fostering a culture of respect and inclusion. 🤝 Leadership Impact: Develop action plans to create a positive and inclusive leadership shadow. Empower and inspire male allies to lead by example. Through the above modules, you will build awareness and knowledge by exploring key concepts, engaging in interactive learning experiences and developing actionable plans to drive cultural change within your teams and organisations.

10 things you might not know about autistic adults... 1. They exist. Yes, autism is not just for kids - autistic children grow up and become autistic adults. 2. Our sensory sensitivity varies depending on stress levels, and our sensory profile is unique to us, undersensitive in some areas, oversensitive in others, sensory seeking in others too. 3. Our natural autistic communication skills work excellently with other autistic people, but don't work well with neurotypical people. This doesn't mean our communication skills are poor or deficient - they're simply different. 4. We might have issues with interoception - not knowing when we're hungry, thirsty, tired etc until too late. 5. We are monotropic, which means our brains naturally focus on one thing at a time in great depth and in a state of flow. This can make task switching a little harder, but also means we can learn and complete tasks very efficiently when left to it. 6. We value autonomy enormously, thanks to a lifetime of not having had it. We need to be able to manage our own environment and tasks for the reasons given above. 7. We might have alexithymia, which can make it difficult to identify, display and manage our emotional state - I know I feel bad, but what kind of bad? 8. We don't tend to value small talk or eye contact, so meeting us for the first time may feel different - we're not being rude, it's just not something we can do. 9. We are probably traumatised by a lifetime of horrible experiences. Autistic people are bullied, ostracised and belittled all the time and the trauma adds up. 10. There are many more of us than you might think, of every demographic, all over the world. For more info like this, insight and understanding, just read my stuff or get me in to give a talk!
