It's here! @peakonteam's first #DiversityAndInclusion report is out now 💜! We're excited to share our brand new DE&I webpage, alongside our first DE&I report with our current employee data breakdowns and our 15-month strategy.
peakon.com/life-at-peakon…
I joined Peakon just under 2 months ago & it has been a privilege to lead their DE&I work, creating their 1st strategy and report. Here are some of the highlights for us, as a company of 230 people ✅
46% overall and 40% in SMT identify as women at Peakon.

Please note, we are expanding these values to be more inclusive in future reports for non-binary & genderqueer/genderfluid folks. 46% of Peakons identify as ...
Using Include product, we clearly articulate a difference in scoring across inclusion on ethnicity. Reporting diversity without inclusion is no use. We are sharing, where we can (protecting anonymity - we're 230ish people).

In report, I share what we're doing about these scores. Ethnicity breakdowns per D&...
As a business of 230ish people (and counting), we have 27 nationalities represented at Peakon, across 5 offices! Nationality and office brea...
We're transparent in our report. We know we need to do more (& we will). We will expand on different areas we capture data to enable an intersectional approach to our strategy. We wanted to share this report now so you can see where we are, whilst we get to where we want to go.
If you know me or have read any of my pieces, you'll see how important data is to me. And how I firmly believe we should be measuring inclusion in the same way as diversity. We're doing this and we have goals in place to measure our success. I'm excited to lead us on this journey

I've came across lots of folks who have been emotionally abused by their workplace - where they no longer feel like they can separate personal selves from their work. On many occasions, organisational leadership may take advantage of this... here's how to spot this happening /1
Being asked to work much longer hours regularly (not just to meet a deadline or get something over the line). When you speak up about this, you're told thar you just don't get the mission or you're just not "passionate" enough. Passion will be used as a "criteria" to gatekeep.

When you ask for a £ increase, you're told that this shouldn't be about the money, that it's about the mission & doing X for Y. You're told that this isn't about financial gain but about the opps the job provides you & if you think about £, then you're not the right fit

1 reason orgs hire experienced folks is because they have a gap to fill. The knowledge doesn’t exist internally & they need it to continue to succeed/progress. Bringing people from different backgrounds & exps is good. It stops an echo chamber forming. What isn’t good is... /1
bringing those people in & expect them to fit your way only. What you get when you hire someone externally is different ideas/environments. If they come from a different org, there'll be time for them to settle into way that works for both of you, however this works both ways /2
You cannot hire in experienced leaders & expect them to not bring that experience & knowledge of what also does/doesn't work. Yes, they must also be willing to learn but so should the org. If you hire people in & force them into your mould, they'll leave & you're back at sq 1. /3

Your org needs to step up for Black folks right now. Here’s some pointers in thread 🧵- silence isn’t an option. /1
Post about this in company channels - not just Black/race-focused groups. This is relevant for everyone. Talk about systemic racism, sharing links to Black-driven research, making it clear this is a structural issue we all must address /2
2) Create a safe space for folks to share/vent/etc. Violence on Black folks isn’t an anomaly - people are emotionally scared & physically exhausted. Remember that & create a space where if folks want to share/be vulnerable, they can.
