To mark this #BlackHistoryMonth, we embraced the theme of “Reclaiming Narratives” - a call to acknowledge, amplify, and correct the stories of Black individuals and communities that have been historically marginalised. It’s not just about telling these stories but ensuring they are told with the respect, dignity, and authenticity they deserve. Reclaiming Narratives is a commitment to confronting historical inaccuracies and showcasing the richness, complexity, and contributions of Black history and culture. By reclaiming these narratives, we honor the full depth of Black heritage, highlighting untold success stories, struggles, and triumphs that have shaped history. https://bit.ly/3xLJttx #AvanadeDoWhatMatters #WorkAtAvanade #BHM24

Thank you to Hermaid for delivering an interesting and informative wellbeing panel on destigmatizing Menopause to our teams yesterday! Hot on the heels of World Menopause Day last Friday, it was great to have experts open the conversation up on how we can support one another to breed a more understanding and inclusive culture. #WorkatAvanade
Destigmatizing Menopause at Avanade Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz with hermaid 💜 Wow – yesterday’s event was truly incredible! Avanade, a joint venture between Microsoft and Accenture, has already made significant strides in supporting menopause in the workplace, with comprehensive initiatives led by their global and local teams. Together, we elevated the conversation to the next level. With more than 110 participants from across Europe, the US, and the UK, we introduced a fresh perspective: recognizing peri-menopause not just as a challenge, but as an opportunity for both individuals and employers. This shift in mindset opens up new possibilities for support, growth, and empowerment in the workplace. Caroline Harms, Practice People Lead for Azure Platform, Avanade ASG and Women Employee Network Member: “Fostering open and inclusive dialogue is crucial to support a diverse workforce. Our organization is always striving to do what matters – for our clients as well as for our people. By addressing Menopause in the workplace, I hope we can continue this endeavor, and I am more than happy to have found such a powerful partner in hermaid when it comes to educating us!” Anne Feldt, Co-Founder and CEO of hermaid - "Our goal is to destigmatize the conversation around Peri-/ menopause, particularly in the workplace. By viewing professional careers through a lifecycle lens, it becomes clear that offering tailored, individualized support to address the health impacts of menopause is essential. This approach is vital for promoting overall well-being, as each individual’s circumstances, background, and health needs are unique. Raising awareness, normalizing the conversation, and shifting perspectives are the first crucial steps toward fostering a more inclusive environment—ultimately driving success for everyone involved.” Nichola Thurston-Smith, Manuela Sforza, Emily Warren, Nicola Harris, Susanne Feldt, Rajesh Sharma

We can’t wait for more insights and updates. Read Aaron’s full report here: https://lnkd.in/e9FWY8qf #AvanadeDoWhatMatters #AvanadeWorldTour
