Find where you thrive

This year's annual Disability Awareness Day (DAD) with Warrington Disability Partnership certainly didn't disappoint! Once again, thousands of people living with disabilities and their carers/families attended on what was such a hot day. As principle sponsors, United Utilities (UU) were proud to host two stands this year... in addition to visitors finding out about our free Priority Services scheme and grab some free water saving goodies, we were also on hand to provide free water bottles, filled too from one of our smaller water tankers we brought on site for the day! This year we were able to have even more conversations around working for United Utilities whilst living with different abilities and the types of jobs we offer. Days like this reinforce why our work matters — supporting our communities, protecting our environment and championing accessibility.

A quick reminder to move your body today, your back will thank you later! Our apprentices in the Hannover Head Office show you how it’s done… but, jokes aside, our electric standing desks, bike desks, a gym, and sports groups, we make it easier for you.    Why? Because, Wellbeing is something that truly matters to TUI.     That’s why, in our Hannover Head Office, and across our global teams, we have dedicated initiatives to support it. Our Global Wellbeing & DEI team works every day to create a better, healthier workplace for our colleagues.

This month, our teams swapped Slack messages for shared adventures. ☀️ 🧗 Our Berlin crew took to the treetops at one of the city's best high rope courses, conquering obstacles high above the forest floor. Turns out teams that build payment infrastructure together can also navigate a canopy trail together!  🍇 Meanwhile, our London team headed to the beautiful Kent countryside for a day among the vines at Wayfarer Wines. From vineyard tours to wine tasting, it was the perfect way to connect and unwind. #TeamToken #Payments

At Maersk, we believe everyone should feel they belong and have the opportunity to thrive. Our Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) play an important role in making that happen by creating spaces for connection, learning, and meaningful conversations💙 Recently, our Diverse Abilities & Neurodiversity ERN hosted a Friends, Family & Colleagues Session, where colleagues with lived experience of disability and neurodiversity shared their personal stories, perspectives, and insights. By listening, learning, and engaging in open dialogue, we're strengthening allyship, building greater understanding, and taking meaningful steps toward a more accessible and inclusive workplace - one where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. 👉Read more about culture and inclusion at Maersk: Culture and Inclusion at A.P.

Some of the best team moments don’t happen in a boardroom, they happen in a kitchen! 🍳 This week, a group of us from the team got together virtually for a fun cooking session, swapping spreadsheets for spatulas and turning our screens into a shared kitchen. From sharing tips to laughing over a few kitchen mishaps, it was a brilliant reminder of what happens when you bring people together outside of the usual day-to-day. The result? A gorgeous apple crumble, fresh out of the oven and ready to be devoured. Moments like these are exactly why I love working at Boomi. Beyond the platform, the integrations, and the innovation, it’s the people and the culture that make this such a special place to be. It’s a small thing, cooking together over a video call, but it says a lot about a company: that leadership values connection as much as output, and that colleagues become friends along the way. Days like this bring out the fun and human side of us, moreover importantly deepen the collaborative culture and pace. See what else we are cooking at Boomi. 🚀 Our Boomi Companion is sizzling hot. It can create entire workflows faster than we can make Apple crumble (!) > https://lnkd.in/e8bcWVuq PS. We are hiring 🎉, come join our cooking sessions and more.

We had a brilliant time at Pride in London celebrating love, inclusivity, and equality for all – two and four-legged friends alike! 🌈 Battersea has always been, and will always be, an inclusive, open and welcoming place for every dog and cat, and human. We make this promise to our animals every day, and we also make it to our staff, volunteers and supporters. 💙 #Pride

Sunshine, sequins and sore feet. Like ASOS, Pride delivered 🏳️‍🌈 Last weekend our ASOSers walked in London Pride to celebrate, show support and show up for the LGBTQIA+ community. Pride was identified as a priority by Inclusion & Belonging Reps through our Culture Council – a great example of colleague voice turning into action. Bringing ASOSers together to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community was one way we continue building our culture where everyone feels included and able to be themselves. We were delighted to be joined by Board Member, Natasja Laheij , whose support reflects the importance of creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. Thanks to every ASOSer who came along to celebrate, support and show up for the LGBTQIA+ community. Same values. More glitter 🌈 #Pride #InsideASOS

NHBC At NHBC, we’re committed to helping people from all backgrounds explore rewarding careers in construction. Recently, we welcomed five students to our Cambridge Training Hub for a hands-on introduction to home building, delivered in partnership with Ductu, an organisation that connects businesses with disadvantaged, neurodivergent and disabled students across the UK. During the visit, the students took part in practical bricklaying exercises and met with members of our training team to learn about the wide range of career opportunities available across the construction sector. The experience provided valuable insight into the skills, pathways and possibilities within home building, while supporting our ongoing commitment to creating a more inclusive and accessible industry for future generations.
