Join Inclusion Week and let everyone know how much YOU care in your business about understanding diversity and creating workplace wellbeing!

The Inclusivity Project is teaming up with forward-thinking local organisations to bring you weeklong extravaganza of online events. So join Inclusion Week in Cornwall and let’s talk about healthy and inclusive workplaces, and what that means post-lockdown.

The events will run from 28th Sept- 2nd October, and our programme is part of National Inclusion Week.

We’re going to have open conversations about business resilience, staff retention, unconscious bias. We hope to hear from YOU about what local businesses really need to be happy, healthy places to work.

You can join a whole network of organisations that have so much to share about diversity and wellbeing.

From CHAOS to Age UK CIoS, disAbility Cornwall to our Local Enterprise Partnership, the Centre for Ageing Better through to local businesses showcasing the inclusion innovations they have created – you can join in Inclusion Week and shout about your values.

  • Looking to protect your workers’ wellbeing and keep your team integrated despite some working remotely and others in the office?
  • Trying to adapt your spaces to safely welcome the widest range of customers?
  • Figuring out how to respond as a business to Black Lives Matter and the overall diversity agenda?
  • Chomping at the bit to create a new product, or service, that could help others increase their workplace wellbeing?

  • Monday 28 Sept 11am: Do you dare to uncover your Unconscious Bias?: We will be hosting a Facebook Live on Cornwall Chamber of Commerce’s Facebook page at 11am, where a *special guest* will take the Unconscious Bias online test in real time! You can see what it’s like and watch their reaction to their result. And of course we’ll help them understand what to do if they do find they have some bias so that it doesn’t imbalance their behaviour in the workplace. You’ll also learn where you can take a bias test yourself, for free!
