If you do not make space for people, how can you expect them to stay? 💭

This is just one of the things Onyinye Udokporo talks about in her edition of A Year On.

There is an increased lack of patience for inauthentic and ineffective D&I efforts by the next generation of Black talent, and many are taking to do their own things.

D&I initiatives can be tricky.

While it is important to make sure everyone is included, it is equally important to ensure that these efforts are both holistic and authentic. 🌱

"37% of black Gen Z individuals don't feel comfortable wearing their natural hair to work."

This eye-opening statistic speaks volumes about the challenges faced by our community in the workplace.

Last week, our founder Mils had an incredible experience outside Manchester Piccadilly station, engaging with the public, answering their questions, and raising awareness for our crucial research on black talent. It was a powerful reminder of the urgent need for change in our society.

Last year, our research journey began with a focus on Black Gen Z, shedding light on their unique experiences. This year, we're taking it a step further by exploring intersectionality.

There’s a need for employers to embrace a holistic approach that acknowledges the diverse facets of the Black community. We must move away from confining individuals to narrow boxes. Everyone deserves the freedom to be their authentic selves. Let's break down barriers and create inclusive spaces where all aspects of identity are celebrated.

But here's the exciting part: YOU have the power to contribute to this groundbreaking research! Be part of the difference we're striving to make by participating in our survey.

📣 Only 7 days left to complete the survey! 📣

We are driven to change the world of work for Black Gen Z, and we need your help to do that.

Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging.

The phrase sits at the heart of what we are trying to achieve with the This is Black Gen Z project. 🙌🏾

However, it is used so often and has become such a corporate buzzword, it often feels as if people don’t truly understand what they mean when using it.

In truth, three different meanings are embedded within it, and they are not interchangeable. There is one of the key places where many employers fall short - they believe focusing on diversity will automatically create inclusion and foster belonging.

Just because a space is diverse, does not mean they are making efforts to foster inclusion and encourage belonging. 🙅🏽‍♀️

If you find yourself with an employer like that, make small efforts to make it known, or perhaps start looking elsewhere to where they are more cognizant of the complexities of D&I.

What do you think? 💬

25/04/2023

Diversity, inclusion and belonging are not about fulfilling tick boxes. ☑️

It is not about companies trying to appear as if they are doing the right thing - it is about them actually doing it.

So we’re gonna go through a series of ways to identify authentic DEIB action from companies based on the findings from our report last year.

This week we’re looking at investigating beyond a company’s employer brand. 🧐

Many employers will use tokenism and marketing to make it seem like they are diverse and inclusive. However, sometimes you gotta dig a little deeper to find out if that is actually the case.

💭 Genuine D&I action is the only way forward 💭

It is clear as day when a company's D&I action is inauthentic - and that alone will undo any good that they may be trying to achieve.

This was one of the key takeaways that came out from our first This is Black Gen Z report last year. 🌟

In the blog post below, we do a deep dive into the topic of authentic D&I action, why it is important and why representation and meaningful action is the way forward.

🚨 Happy Women’s Day! 🚨

It is an important chance to champion the voices of others. 📢

Recognising the need to pass the mics to others is one of the driving forces behind the This is Black Gen Z Project, and we feel that it is important to recognise on days like today too.

So to acknowledge and celebrate Women’s Day, we’ve asked the women of TapIn so share their thoughts around being a woman in the workplace.
