Creating an inclusive workplace culture starts with making sure everyone feels welcome at company events, regardless of their relationship with alcohol. Here are 4 tips to create a supportive environment for your sober colleagues: 1️⃣ Offer a variety of exciting non-alcoholic options, like craft mocktails and premium teas, presented with the same enthusiasm as alcoholic beverages. 2️⃣ Shift the focus away from alcohol by planning activities that everyone can enjoy, such as team-building exercises and interactive games. 3️⃣ Communicate clearly in event invitations that non-alcoholic options will be available and attendance doesn't require drinking alcohol. 4️⃣ Foster a culture that respects individual choices around alcohol consumption and avoids pressuring or shaming non-drinkers. By implementing these strategies, you'll create a workplace where all employees feel valued and included. #InclusiveWorkplace #SoberAllies #AlcoholAwarenessMonth #EmployeeBenefits Chris Boling - PPACA

🎉 Celebrating the importance of Psychological Safety in Organizations! 🎉 Psychological safety is the secret ingredient to a thriving workplace where everyone feels free to share ideas, take risks, and collaborate openly. Timothy Clark’s framework for psychological safety starts with Inclusion Safety—making sure everyone feels accepted and valued right from the start. At Nestlé, we’re passionate about creating an inclusive environment that aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being. Through our exciting Micro-Tyco project, we developed the Nessport Template, a fantastic tool that ensures new joiners feel welcome and included from day one. This not only boosts their well-being but also helps them quickly adapt to new teams and work environments. 🌟 We are thrilled to share that our project has reached new heights and has been adopted by senior leadership at Nestlé! This is a testament to the power of psychological safety and our commitment to sustainability and employee well-being. A heartfelt shoutout to my amazing Micro-Tyco team Jemima Pennock, Max Smith, Emily Rowlands Jones. Your dedication and hard work have been instrumental in bringing this project to life A special thanks to Daisy Thompson, Michael Deane, Sophie Francis, Garry Browne, James Holding, Sarah Mountford who generously shared their experience, knowledge, and wisdom to make this project a great success.

If you google “brewery harassment” you’ll polish off an entire six-pack before you finish reading all of the horror stories. 🤮 “Breweries named in wave of sexual harassment claims; CEO steps down.” 🤮 “Brewery ownership group ‘steps back’ after sexual harassment claims.” 🤮 “’This behavior should not be endorsed or tolerated’: harassment allegations explored as brewery reportedly closes.” 🤮 “Couple who helped start major brewery accuse owner of sexual harassment.” 🤮 “Brewery founder steps away from operations amid allegations of sexism and racism.” 🤮 “Findings of investigation into toxic brewery workplace are ‘troubling and heartbreaking.’” And on … and on … and on. It’s an epidemic in our craft beer industry. Which is precisely why I am so excited to be returning to this year’s Craft Brewers Conference to present, “Crafting a Harassment-Free Craft Brewery.” Thematically, I’ll be focusing on two key harassment-prevention topics: (1) why our workplace harassment laws are a conduct floor and not a conduct ceiling, and (2) how you can’t hope to curb inappropriate workplace behavior without holding everyone (including and especially brewery owners) accountable when their behavior fails to meet our expectations. My session is part of CBC’s April 21 preconference THRIVE Workshop, a day-long experience specifically designed for brewery owners, people leaders, and HR and DEI practitioners. THRIVE will provide an integrated deep dive into HR, DEI, and wellness topics for craft brewers of all sizes. I also spoke at last year’s THRIVE workshop and can vouch that the Brewers Association puts on a first-rate program. (Bonus: you get SHRM continuing education credits for attending.) For more information on how to attend THRIVE or the entire conference from April 21 – 24, DM me or visit CraftBrewersConference [dot] com. #beerlawyer #craftbeer #workplaceharassment

3 Reasons to offer your staff a team-building activity! 1. Increased Job Satisfaction and Retention According to a study by Gallup, teams that are highly engaged in their work experience have a 59% lower turnover rate compared to less engaged teams. Team-building activities, especially those conducted outside the office, contribute significantly to employee engagement. 2. Positive Impact on Employee Morale A study by the University of Southern California found that 79% of employees believe that team-building activities help boost their morale, and 69% said these activities make them feel more committed to their organization. 3. Enhanced Communication and Team Cohesion Research by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) indicates that companies that invest in team-building activities see a 25% increase in effective communication and teamwork among employees.

STORY Studio were invited to produce this case study film for our client Goodman. They wanted us to tell the story of Albion Fine Foods Ltd - a family run business based in Kent, supplying produce to high-end restaurants in London and the South East. The key to this project was good planning. A word that has been part of my working life for 20+ years. I have led on the organisation for coverage of general elections, Papal visits, Commonwealth Games and special programmes. When you are filming and gathering content for anything - planning and good logistics is key. It provides a solid foundation to let creativity flourish. This project was in Kent, at a distribution facility spanning over 130,000 sq ft, with multiple interviewees - and we (Ian Snape and I) had one day to film it all. So what did we do to make it happen? Working closely with Emma Pickering we: 📽 Established who we were speaking to and what they could contribute using previously written case study copy 📽 Created a detailed storyboard for the client - to ensure we were on the same page before anything was filmed 📽 Created detailed briefing notes to compliment that storyboard - everyone taking part knew what was expected of them 📽 A recce - not always possible, but in this case I was able to check out the warehouse a month before filming day 📽 A filming schedule - what we needed and when, allowing Albion Fine Foods Ltd to prepare for our visit  Our filming day, whilst incredibly busy, went very smoothly. We were able to capture all the content needed to tell the story visually, but still had time to carry out the interviews and make sure we had the soundbites to reflect this brilliant business. I am a journalist, so for me it isn’t about reading pre-agreed questions. It is about listening and picking up on what the interviewees are saying. Asking questions in different ways, mapping out the structure in my head as I go. To do this you need time on the day and detailed research and prep in the run up to filming day. Albion Fine Foods Ltd is a family business, they love what they do, are passionate about the people they employ and were genuinely excited to call Goodman’s Crossways Park their new home.  A big thank you to Toby Raphael, Harry J., Lee Deeble and the team for making our day run so smoothly - and so enjoyable.

-Empathy and Understanding: Thoughtful gift-giving demonstrates empathy and a deeper understanding of employees' preferences and needs. -Reciprocity: When you give, it often encourages others to give back, fostering positive exchanges in the workplace. #Harryanddavid #corporateculture #employeeengagement #Wolferman https://lnkd.in/gfkPFgVm
