Celebrating National Inclusion Week at gtd healthcare

Reflection, understanding and belonging were the focus of National Inclusion Week celebrations at gtd healthcare.

Colleagues used this year's theme, Build Trust, Navigate Change to reflect on the importance of understanding one another's experiences, valuing differences and creating an environment where everyone feels respected, supported and able to contribute.

David Beckett, chief executive and chair of gtd healthcare's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee, said celebrating National Inclusion Week was a great way to shine a spotlight on inclusion within the workplace.

“Throughout the week, colleagues explored a wide range of topics, including inclusive leadership, navigating life changes, understanding different perspectives and using workforce data to inform positive action,” he said.

“A real highlight was the launch of our Menopause Network, which drew a fantastic turnout for its first session. Looking ahead, we will be offering a manager workshop focusing on building trust, psychological safety and inclusive teams.

“What stood out for me, was the willingness of colleagues across gtd healthcare to engage, learn and share openly with one another.
