😀 Staff Spotlight 👋 Kia ora to Kellie Bowman! TRANSCRIPT: Hi, my name is Kellie Bowman. My sign name is this because 15 years ago, while I was studying at Victoria University, my tutor Mark Berry gave it to me. He chose it because my hair was yellow, but not anymore! I work at Deaf Aotearoa as an HR Manager and have been here for 5 months. I'm based in the Lower Hutt (Wellington) office. I live in Newlands with my 20-year-old son. Before Deaf Aotearoa, I worked at BCITO for 2 years, also in an HR role. On weekends, I enjoy baking and sharing the treats with my parents. I also visit family and friends, go on walks, and on Saturday mornings, I go to the gym and have coffee with my friends. Thank you, bye! #deafaotearoa #nzsl #staffspotlight

Its a busy week for the DEI calendar as this week is also Carers Week, a time to celebrate and appreciate the incredible individuals who dedicate their lives to caring for others. The Heart of Care: Carers are the unsung heroes of our communities. Their selfless dedication, compassion, and hard work often go unnoticed, but they are the heart of care. Acknowledging Challenges: Being a carer can be rewarding, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. It’s important to acknowledge these challenges and provide support where needed. Role of Businesses: Businesses can play a significant role in supporting carers. By offering flexible working arrangements, providing resources, and fostering a supportive work environment, we can help carers balance their responsibilities. Our Commitment: As we celebrate Carers Week, let’s commit to showing our appreciation for carers. Let’s celebrate their dedication, acknowledge their challenges, and provide the support they need. Join us in celebrating Carers Week and honouring the incredible individuals who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Together, we can make our workplaces and communities more supportive and caring. #CarersWeek #Appreciation #Support #DEI D&A Services International Ltd

This week marks Carers Week 2024, a time to shine a spotlight on the silent dedication of unpaid carers. This year’s theme “putting carers on the map”, is a call to acknowledge the invaluable contributions these individuals make every day in the UK. As an organisation that values compassion, we’re proud to have achieved the second level of Carer Positive Award at the Established Employer level. This distinction underscores our commitment to providing an environment where carers feel valued and supported. Embracing a carer positive culture has tangible benefits , including reduced stress levels and sickness absence and lower costs related to recruitment and training. More importantly, it allows us to benefit from the exceptional qualities that carers embody – remarkable organisational skills, adept multi-tasking, profound empathy and unwavering resilience. We understand that juggling work with caring duties can be very difficult. That’s why we make every effort to put in place reasonable adjustments and the necessary support to ensure our carers can thrive both in the workplace and at home.

🌟 Team building at ECES! 🌟 At ECES, fostering teamwork among our team members is key to achieving corporate and personal goals. A working environment built on mutual trust and friendship among its members helps to focus on the goal and be united in achieving it. This is why we organised a table football tournament and a football match to promote team building and the opportunity to get to know each other outside the office, thus forging relationships beyond good cooperation in terms of work. A united team is an effective team. All this not only makes the working environment extremely pleasant, but it also contributes to our physical fitness. 😉 It is a win-to-win relationship. 😂💪 🚀 Let's continue to support each other and maintain the team spirit! #TeamBuilding #ECES #WorkCulture #eces #eces4electoralsupport #electoralsupport

Senior Marketing and Communications Officer within the foster care team at West Sussex County Council
Such an inspiring Fostering and Kinship Service conference this week. The focus was on therapeutic parenting with PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy), which is a particularly effective way of supporting children and young people who have experienced trauma. But we can all learn so much from applying PACEfulness in our daily interactions. To give you a flavour, watch this endearing short animation about empathy vs sympathy. https://lnkd.in/eiSsK9Nf
What a great day gathering together over 200 staff and carers to celebrate and learn together. PACE was at the heart of the day, representing the aspiration for our service. #fostering #connection #heart
