What is sometimes the best step before we start changing our systems and processes in an organization? Stopping and carefully analyzing what is already working well and what can be improved.
We talk about the behind-the-scenes development of a film on neurodiversity in Orange. I am glad that Sylwia Sikorska-Ney shared the story of the project, which shows that openness to different ways of thinking can be a strength of an organization. This film is not just an image - it is a manifesto of authenticity and empathy in the workplace. Its originator and co-creator talks about where the idea came from, what the preparations looked like and what this project has changed in the company.
Large organizations face the challenge of effectively training multiple teams working at different locations and rhythms. It is difficult to find a date that is convenient for everyone, and different departments have their own specific work cycles and moments of increased workload.
December is a month of extraordinary symbolic significance. For millions of people around the world, regardless of their faith, it is the "season of lights," a time of reflection, community, and giving. Although in many cultures Christmas naturally takes center stage, the December and January calendar is densely filled with rituals and traditions based on various grounds - religious, cultural, and secular. In the context of multicultural teams, the way holidays are celebrated ceases to be a matter of decoration and becomes a test of the company's inclusion policy.
As a VET professional, you know full well that your work takes place at the intersection of different realities and contexts. On one hand, you meet students – each bringing their own life story, attitudes, and learning experiences – and on the other, the specific demands of employers and the dynamic world of the industry. Reconciling these perspectives and acting as a bridge between them is a crucial, yet demanding, task.
The end of the year is a time for most organizations to summarize their achievements, but more importantly, to define priorities for the next stage. At Diversity Hub, we believe that effective planning is the foundation for building an inclusive work environment, a mature organizational culture, and a well-designed DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) strategy. That is why every year we invite you for a free consultation – to jointly prepare your priorities and key actions in the area of DEI and mental health for the upcoming year, and to explore how you can get involved in our planned activities as a recipient, co-creator, or partner.
Ten years ago, we began our shared journey – with passion, uncertainty, and the conviction that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging could truly transform organizations. Today, looking back, we see not only the results of this work in companies and teams, but also in the attitudes of people who believe in it and bring it to life. Together with AMS, we celebrate this decade by sharing memories, experiences, and lessons that show change is possible – when you act together.
At AMS, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are the foundation of our culture. We strive to create a workplace that reflects the diversity of our communities and where everyone feels respected, safe, and empowered to grow.
Microaggression is a subtle, often unconscious form of discrimination that increasingly appears in professional environments. Does it pose a real threat to employees’ well-being and organizational culture, or is it rather a sign of oversensitivity? We take a closer look at the facts and opinions, drawing on Diversity Hub’s experience in supporting hundreds of companies.
Inclusive leadership is an essential element of modern management, enabling companies in Poland to respond effectively to social and business changes.
