🌳 We’ve successfully finished our 30-Day Steps for Trees challenge, and the results are amazing!🎉 Together, we walked a whopping 17 million steps, planted 2,864 trees, and provided 286 days of fair pay workdays for the community in Kenya. These efforts are not just numbers; they represent real change. Each tree planted helps restore biodiversity, combat climate change, and support sustainable livelihoods for Kenyan communities in Mteza Creek🌱. The fair pay workdays provide essential income, uplifting local families and promoting economic stability. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made this incredible achievement possible. Your dedication and hard work are making a significant impact on our planet and its people. Let’s keep up the momentum and continue to make strides towards a greener, fairer world. 💚 #StepsForTrees #OneTrust #SustainableFuture Treekly®

🌟 Celebrating 20 Years of Social Work: From Adversity to Advocacy 🌟 As I reflect on my two decades as a social worker, I am reminded of the journey that brought me here—a journey shaped by my own adversity, which I now proudly define as lived experience. It’s this very experience that has fueled my passion and transformed me into the unwavering social advocate I am today. 🌿 The Roots of Resilience: Two decades ago, I stepped into the world of social work, not fully realising how my own struggles would become my greatest asset. Those moments of hardship—the sleepless nights, the uphill battles—have become the bedrock of my resilience. They’ve taught me empathy, compassion, and the unwavering belief that every individual’s story matters. 🌎 A Global Odyssey: My journey has taken me across three countries, each with its unique challenges and triumphs. From bustling city streets to remote communities, I’ve witnessed the resilience of the human spirit. I’ve learned that social work transcends borders—it’s a universal language of care and connection. 🤝 Meeting Extraordinary Social Workers: Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible social workers. They are the unsung heroes—the ones who tirelessly advocate for vulnerable populations, who lend a listening ear to those in crisis, and who ignite hope even in the darkest of times. Their contributions are immeasurable, and they inspire me daily. 🌸 Today and Tomorrow: My passion to support others burns brighter than ever. Whether it’s empowering a struggling family, advocating for policy change, or simply being a compassionate presence, I know that social work is my life’s purpose. And as we celebrate World Social Work Day, I stand alongside my fellow warriors, committed to making a difference—one life at a time. 🙏 To all social workers out there: Thank you. Your work matters. Your heart matters. Together, we create ripples of change that touch lives far beyond our own. #WorldSocialWorkDay #SocialWorkMatters #Advocacy #LivedExperience
Buen Vivir and Happy Social Work Day! As we recognise the efforts of social workers all around the world, this year is about building a new form of public coexistence, in diversity and in harmony with nature, to find a 'good way of living'. In a world grappling with conflicts and environmental threats, prioritising community bonds and nature's harmony is more crucial than ever. We want to call on Australian social workers to pioneer innovative, community-driven solutions inspired by Indigenous wisdom and eco-friendly living. #WSWD2024 #AASW #SocialWork

#equityandinclusion #diversityequityinclusion #humanresourcesmanagement #genderequality As a Sociologist, Anthropologist, and Human Resource Manager, I am passionate about using my unique perspective on human behavior and policy analysis to change Lesotho's organizational and human resource landscape into a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive one. With a robust background in community engagement and stakeholder engagement and management, I am in good standing to advocate, advance, and educate on these key development issues especially in the human resource landscape. In Lesotho, I am committed to advancing transparent hiring policies that are free from bias and discrimination. I also aim to promote employee wellbeing by developing policies and practices that address issues of mental health, physical health, and work-life balance. I believe that a focus on diversity and inclusion, and on employee wellbeing, is essential for a successful and sustainable business environment in Lesotho. Stakeholder partnerships would be an important part of my vision for diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing in the workplace. I believe that by engaging with key stakeholders, such as the government, educational institutions, and community organizations, we can create a more robust and sustainable system for promoting these values. For example, I would aim to partner with government agencies to ensure that labor laws and regulations are fair and equitable. I would also seek to partner with educational institutions to create training programs that address issues of diversity and inclusion. #stakeholderengagement

Workingdom - The Kingdom in The Workplace Our workplaces play a pivotal role in contributing to a country’s gross domestic product (GDP), however the workplace has become one of the grounds that the kingdom of darkness runs rampant to push evil agendas in an attempt to cripple the output and resourcefulness of companies, communities, countries and ultimately continents . This is seen in gender inequality, subtle racial prejudices, toxic work environments, witchcraft practices, and principalities that threaten to annihilate company visions. These atrocities negatively affect the level and quality of work produced by companies/the quality and level of work produced is of par excellence, albeit at the expense of the mental and physical health of employees. Workingdom Ministry seeks to challenge these ungodly systems and principalities by equipping the saints in the various workplaces to identify the darkness that prevails in their workplaces, wage war that will demolish unrighteous altars, shine their light through godly solutions - all in a bid to make disciples of all nations in prepration for the end time revival. Want to know more about what Workingdom offers? Look out for our registration announcement detailing how to register to attend our launch on the 4th of May 2024 in the Western Cape. We are anticipating attendees from KwaZulu Natal and Gauteng - Western Cape, we're challenging you to fill up the seats first!

As we commemorate International Labour Day 2024, the theme of this year, #Ensuring #Safety and #Health at Work in a #Changing #Climate" gains particular relevance in the context of Kenya, where the recent rains have profoundly impacted the lives and livelihoods of its people. Leaders and HR professionals in Kenya are tasked with an urgent mandate to safeguard their teams amidst these daunting climate challenges. Here is a focused call to action: #Leaderscan: #Enhance Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Conduct in-depth risk assessments to identify potential climate-related hazards intensified by the current weather patterns. This includes addressing the impacts of heavy rainfall that disrupted infrastructure, which continues to threaten both #safety and #productivity of the kenyan #workforce. #Strengthen Resilience: Adapt your strategies to withstand these adverse conditions. Upgrading facility infrastructures to withstand floods, developing comprehensive emergency response plans, and integrating sustainable practices are critical steps in building resilience. #Promote a Safety-First Culture: Foster a workplace culture that emphasizes safety, supports open communication, encourages employee training, and streamlines incident reporting. Enable employees to express concerns and contribute to safety solutions actively. #HRProfessionalscan: #Update HR Policies for Climate Awareness: Revise your policies to better manage risks associated with severe weather conditions. Policies should support flexible work arrangements, detailed emergency preparedness protocols, and enhanced mental health support. #Facilitate Training and Education: Prepare your workforce to cope with the challenges posed by the changing climate, especially in light of the current rains. Training should cover flood safety measures, swift emergency responses, and the importance of proactive environmental hazard reporting. #Support #Employee #Well-being: Acknowledge the strain that extreme weather can impose on mental health. Provide robust employee assistance programs, mental health resources, and flexible working conditions to help staff navigate these stresses. By taking these proactive steps, industry leaders and HR professionals in Kenya can help create #safer and #healthier workplaces that are better equipped to deal with the realities of #climatechange. This not only protects employees but also contributes to building a more resilient and sustainable workforce. Happy Labour Day in Kenya, I send you all my heartfelt wishes. Today, I honor the resilience and contributions of Kenyan workers. Institute of Human Resource Management (IHRM Kenya) #InternationalLabourDay #ClimateChange #WorkplaceSafety #Kenya

Meet the Staff Monday! Meet staff member Rycado Carasco! Rycado reflected on the need for trained social workers in Haiti, "We have many many many problems both large and small. I know that social work is a profession that promotes social change and development. Even if there is political instability or economic problems, people still need help; social workers are essential. Social workers have the skills to connect people with what they need. If the country had more social workers to work for the people, connect and advocate for people, many things would change." #educationhaiti #socialwork #essentialworkers #haiti #highereducation #socialworkmonth

Happy World Social Work Day! Today, we recognize and celebrate the contributions of #socialworkers in communities around the world. At the CPC Learning Network, we've delved into training programs for social workers in 12 countries in #WestAfrica, through a report conducted for UNICEF (https://buff.ly/3vjBgvp ) in 2014 and a research article (https://buff.ly/3Vk0GU7 ) published in 2019. Some key findings: 🔑 Training styles varied significantly, from government training programs to advanced degrees like Masters' and PhD programs, with government programs being slightly more common in French-speaking countries 🔑 Job descriptions for social workers often overlap with those for #NGOworkers and CBO (community benefit organization) workers, and legal frameworks left ambiguity about the boundaries of the profession 🔑 Training programs generally covered social science #researchmethods in detail, but lacked more country-specific and regularly updated content on #child rotection, a possible area of improvement in the future We invite you to take a look at these articles and reflect on the role of social work in your own #community and internationally! #WorldSocialWorkDay Image description: a pile of social work books sits on a desk in a classroom.

NAMASTE: Goodwill Gestures to the Minoritized • On many occasions, it is announced that the real heroes of our society are those unclaimed laborers who commit to preserve the cleanliness of the environ and sustain our survival. However, often contemplated, such individuals do not account for a modest stand in our society and discriminated against other sections of the society. • Designated as “manual scavengers”, this array of people are entrusted with the hefty amenability of maintaining sanitation through perilous cleaning of sewer and septic tanks. They are subjected to massive social discrimination, even instances of untouchability are chronicled. Besides, this category is bared in filthy conditions flushed with contaminants. Such jobs are not the choice of an individual rather the lack of financial stability and education that propels them into this line of work. • “Namaste” is a joint initiative of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment (MoSJE) and Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. (MoHUA), a plan of action by the central sector. • The program encapsulates the safety and nobility of this batch by devising an inclusive atmosphere that beholds this section of people as one of the prime contributors of protection and nourishment of mankind. • Namaste aspires to fabricate a platform that will look into the associated issues in this line of employment and eliminate the occupational complexities of the people by providing accessibility to safer and secured equipment. • Namaste aims for zero casualties in this sector, organizing helpers into self-help groups, providing assistance for alternative livelihoods, accompanied with designing supervisory and monitoring systems. • The scheme is said to be introduced in all the 4800 urban local bodies during the next three years with a disbursement of 349.70 crores. #uplifting #enhancement #initiative #government
