Fostering a culture of belonging, compassion, and curiosity at Aztec Group is something we care deeply about. 🙌   Recently, our CEO Kathryn Purves spoke with author and keynote speaker Shola Kaye about how everyone contributes to nurturing an inclusive and empathetic workplace. This was part of Aztec’s #SummerOfUnity series, designed to help us grow together and nurture an environment where everyone can feel safe to share experiences and be curious.   Some key takeaways: ➡️ Curiosity is not about having all the answers, but about asking the right questions and listening deeply. It helps us understand and connect with others and avoid making assumptions or judgments about people.   ➡️ Kindness is not just about being polite, but about being genuine and caring and taking action to support others. It has a positive impact on our well-being, engagement, and productivity.   ➡️ Empathy helps us build trust, rapport, and influence and can also help us deal with conflict and difficult conversations.   ➡️ Inclusion is about making sure that everyone feels that they belong, are valued, and can make their full contribution. It leads to better outcomes and performance.   Our goal is for everyone at Aztec to thrive in a place where they feel they belong – where uniqueness and authenticity is not only accepted at work but valued.
