Take action, make impact
25 September - 1 October 2023 was National Inclusion Week, a celebration of diversity and a call to action for greater inclusivity.Â
The 2023 theme of 'Take Action, Make Impact' unites us all in celebrating diversity and inclusion. It's our call to action, encouraging everyone to make real changes that positively affect marginalised colleagues. This theme reminds us that inclusion goes beyond words; it's about our daily actions creating real, lasting change.
During this week, a range of workshops and lunch-and-learn sessions all about inclusivity were held. If you missed any, you can watch the recordings below.
Additionally, we welcomed the launch of Discover One Royal Mail - our diversity, equity and inclusion hub which will house all the relevant tools and initiatives you can use to learn and apply each day.
