18 to 24 March marks the annual celebration of Harmony Week in Australia, with this year’s theme being ‘Everyone Belongs’. As an Australian business, we take immense pride in recognising and celebrating the culturally diverse people that make up our workplace.
It is clear that businesses thrive when employees feel included and their workplace is firmly committed to supporting diversity. Many companies are working towards creating a diverse and inclusive work culture to cultivate a sense of belonging for everyone; reaping long-term benefits.
Here are a few ways to celebrate Harmony Week in the Office:
- Organise a potluck to celebrate cultural diversity
- Offer inclusive tearoom products like plant-based or lactose-free milk, gluten-free and vegan snacks to cater to your staff’s dietary preferences
- Actively listen to your colleagues and create a safe space for them to talk about their unique cultural experiences
- Conduct workshops promoting employee wellness and cultural empathy across departments and teams
