Seekhr’s Post

For those companies forcing their teams back to the office thinking employees aren't as motivated or as focused working independently or remotely, this post is an important counter-narrative...perhaps even a word of caution about the talent they might be inadvertently excluding and to take a leaf out of Joeli Brearley's book! Given the right conditions (including flexible working), motivations (i.e. work that matches with our goals and skillsets, and/or feels worthwhile), and support (read, understanding that we might not fit into a one-size-fits-all approach) working mums and parents in general are just as capable and work just as hard/smart, if not more so given our experience. After all, we are doing our jobs alongside the equally important unpaid job of ensuring the future generation is well looked after and can be functioning members of society and the future workforce - a worthwhile investment for everyone's sake. #flexibleworking #wfh #workfromhome

Leading on this project with John Heritage and his team at David Lewis Centre has been one of the highlights of my Career. Often Co-production is seen as tokenism or something that we should do. Its is so much more, it is life changing when done properly..It is invigorating to set the conditions to hand the reins and decision making to those with whom the outcomes directly impact. It is the sign of a true Leader that is not afraid to hear what the users of services want, let this actively design the road map of the future and commit to supporting the initiatives they wish to be prioritised. There can be no better achievement than giving those with a Disability a platform to be just as able as anyone else. The humility and cooperation that both of the Co-Chairs have shown to each other and the wider David Lewis beneficiaries , many Chairman and leaders could learn from. Listening to each other, lobbying for the priorities the people they represent have voted for (even if they personally dont favour). Engagement to the cause and the people they have been elected to serve. Never missing or being late to a meeting. NOT having a laptop on or phones vibrating! Communication, understanding through their own experiences that just because some one cannot speak...doesnt mean they dont have something valuable to say. Caring enough to 'hear' using all of the senses. Equitable Status is sitting with the top table, influencing the design and direction of travel and outcomes that are actually wanted. Equity is this perfect balance of shaping the future together with lived experience at the very core. Want a fantastic Exec Team 💐 What a way to keep this wonderful Charity current for the next 100 years. #co-production #co-design #chairmanship #equity #alittlepieceofhistory David Lewis Centre @maria@flanagan-associates.co.uk 💐

Faith-based organisations benefit greatly from a shared sense of mission and purpose amongst their trustees, staff and beneficiaries.   Despite this, disputes can often arise - with arguments between trustees, employee grievances and breakdowns in relations. Sometimes the strength of the viewpoints held in the faith-based sector can make issues even harder to resolve.
