National Inclusion Week 2022 – The Power of Connection

The Council is celebrating National Inclusion week, which runs until Sunday.

Each year seven days are dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive workplaces. Founded by Inclusive Employers, National Inclusion Week is now in its tenth year.

This year’s theme is ‘Time to Act: The Power is Now’.

The aim for the Council is to inspire a focus on actions and help make this an inclusive place to work. We want to work together to seize #ThePowerOfNow to overcome challenges and build a more inclusive culture in the workplace and beyond.

Throughout the week, a different article relating to National Inclusion Week will be shared on Staffnet each day.

Today’s is about the Power of Connection.

The Power of Connection – Reach Out

Over the last two years, most organisations have had to change how they work in some way. The impact of Covid-19 has led to more working from home, more flexible working, more virtual communication and less face-to-face time. People in all roles, all organisations, all sectors are busier than ever as companies have been faced with impact to budgets and resource. All this leads to less time and opportunity for real human connection. Today, think about how you could reach out and connect with your colleagues, across teams, departments, offices and even the globe. Take a moment to make a connection.

Learning Welsh is a great way to connect with the wider community, nation and yourself.

A series of entry, foundation, advanced and proficient level Welsh Language courses are available free of charge to Council staff and members.

The courses are 30 to 32 weeks and begin this month.
