Managing Temp and Perm recruitment in FMCG, Manufacturing & Warehousing sectors | Building high-performing teams for sustainable growth and operational excellence in the UK, US and IRL👷♀️🦺🏭
Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's CATCH EDIB Network, it's always great to hear and share some ideas with the network members. Key takeaways from yesterday's session, especially from a recruitment perspective: ❓ Website accessibility Ensuring your website is optimised and accessible for everyone is crucial. Is your website user-friendly for all, including those with disabilities? ❓ Inclusivity beyond accessibility Accessibility doesn't always equate to inclusivity. What proactive steps are you taking to make everyone feel included? ❓ Employee consultation Regularly consulting with your employees about improving processes is essential. Do your people feel they belong and are heard in your workplace? ❓ Interview process accessibility Is your interview process genuinely accessible, or do you assume everyone can navigate your preferred method? Flexibility in interview methods is key. ❓ Supportive facilities Offering facilities like a quiet room, prayer room, breastfeeding room etc., can make a significant difference. Are these facilities available in your workplace? or does this sound alien to you? ❓ Building trust and belonging People stay where they feel a sense of trust and belonging. What initiatives are you implementing to reduce attrition and foster a supportive environment? There are industries that are less inclusive and we have a long way to go, but nothing changes if nothing changes! Here at Huxons Recruitment we are dedicated to learning and unlearning, expanding our knowledge and educating our partners, we want to do more than recruiting. We focus on recruiting AND employer branding! 🦅 Thank you for having us once again Paul McCartan 🤝
We held an inspiring network meeting, with 40 people joining us in person and online. Paul McCartan, our new chair (from Yara International) opened the meeting with a recap of the Biz Week EDIB conference and the topics we have covered in previous meetings. Paul welcomed INEOS as our newest charter signatory and additionally, we're excited to see delegates from Stork UK, North East Lincolnshire Council, Huxons Recruitment, British Steel, Future Humber & Apprentice Employment Agency join us for the first time. A special thanks to Jason Buwanabala and Anika (PwC) for their insightful presentation on EDIB data, emphasising the importance of legal and cultural aspects, effective communication, and transparency in building trust. They also provided valuable updates on the Race and Disability Bill. Wayne Pulford (Answer Digital) delivered a thought-provoking presentation on accessibility, highlighting essential tools for self-checking websites and presentations and considering all aspects of communication and in-person adjustments for accessibility. We appreciate everyone who participated in the open discussions and shared their projects and deliverables! We missed Nina Stobart our outgoing chair - we will celebrate with you at our next meeting in September! For further information please contact Lisa Buck CATCH Katie Hedges Katy Sidell
