Today, we celebrate #InternationalHumanSolidarityDay, a moment to reflect on the power of unity in creating a better world for everyone. According to the United Nations is a day to 🌍 celebrate our unity in #diversity 🌎 remind governments to #respect their commitments to international agreements 🌏 raise public #awareness of the importance of #solidarity 🌍 encourage #debate on the ways to promote solidarity for the achievement of #SustainableDevelopmentGoals including poverty eradication Solidarity is a commitment to understanding, supporting, and uplifting one another. It resonates deeply - and therefore inspires - with my understanding of #peoplemanagement: fostering a thriving #workplace culture, advocating for inclusivity, #empathy, and diversity, and enhancing an atmosphere where everyone feels seen, heard, valued, and respected to ensure individual and collective #wellbeing and ultimately impact our communities and society positively. On this day, let's reaffirm our dedication to fostering a #workplace where solidarity thrives. Our collective strength lies in our ability to stand together, offering #support, #compassion, and #encouragement to each member of our #community. By promoting solidarity in our personal and professional spheres, we enrich individual lives and contribute to society's greater good. Together, we can continue to build bridges, #empower one another, and make a tangible difference in the lives of those around us. Let's embrace solidarity as a cornerstone for nurturing a supportive environment.

Important and insightful work from Edge Effect & Outright International, valuable to all of us seeking to understand: * How the humanitarian system is responding to the needs of LGBTIQ people during humanitarian crises? * What commitments have the global humanitarian system made that should apply to LGBTIQ people, as they do to all others? * What capacities must the system have to respond to the specific needs and priorities of LGBTIQ people? * What challenges exist within the system that may leave those needs unmet? *What solutions and resources are available to organizations working within the system to make interventions more equitable regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or sex characteristics (SOGIESC)? - as well as addressing the challenges faced by global actors eager to implement LGBTIQ inclusion across complex organisations in diverse contexts.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for All Australians to learn and explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. As our two businesses - BIC and Consolidated come together, this year’s theme ‘Now More Than Ever ‘deeply resonates with our unified approach and commitment to Reconciliation. Both BIC and Consolidated have a long-standing dedication to reconciliation. As we develop a combined Reconciliation Action Plan, our goal is to make meaningful contributions to Indigenous communities through sincere and impactful commitments across various aspects of our business and community engagement. Most importantly, we strive to promote equity and respect between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians, fostering social cohesion and building stronger, more united communities. #NRW2024 #NRW #NowMoreThanEver #BICServices #Consolidated #BICConsolidated

This NAIDOC Week, Griefline celebrates Aboriginal and Torrrs Strait Islander peoples, while embracing the call to reclaim narratives, amplify voices, and commit to justice and equality. 🖤💛❤️ As we reflect on the many moments in Australia’s reconciliation journey, we are reminded that disengagement is not an option, even when faced with division. Coming together, yarning with like-minded individuals, and tackling the unfinished business of reconciliation is crucial. Our journey towards reconciliation has been enriched by the insights from the RAP Learning Circle attended by our RAP working group chair, Kerrie Arthur, during Reconciliation Week. These sessions offered participants a space for dialogue, learning, and understanding. Key takeaways from the session include: 🖤 ️ Building relationships: Strengthening connections with First Nations peoples through respect, pride, and understanding of their rich cultures, histories, and knowledge. 💛 Overcoming challenges: Addressing the hurdles in implementing Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) and finding pathways to overcome them. ❤️ Inspirational insights: Learning from leaders like Louise Ellis from ANZ and Alanah Scholes, RAP Program Manager for the NRL, who shared their experiences on meaningful reconciliation within organizations. Our commitment continues in treaty-making, truth-telling, historical understanding, education, and combating racism. We recognise the need for connection, respect, action, and change. 🖤💛❤️ #NAIDOCWeek2024 #Reconciliation #RAP #TruthTelling #Treaty
