Highlights from Race Equality Week 2024

Co-headline Partners Powering Race Equality Week

Mark Lomas
Head of Culture, Lloyd’s

“#ListenActChange is important because the reality is ethnically diverse colleagues are still the minority in the workplace therefore it’s everyone’s responsibility to put in place the change that’s needed. Especially allies and colleagues.

The only way we change is by understanding what has been happening and acting from that is really important because that is the behavioural bit that plays a role. This is the bit where we form our habits, call out microaggressions, be more educated and allow real change to happen.

What we need is for colleagues, allies and ethnically diverse colleagues themselves to all act together in concert to achieve change. This is why #ListenActChange is so important.”

Raj Tulsiani
Co-founder and Chair, REM and CEO, Green Park

“Race Equality Week has become a vital part of intersectional progress.

Firstly, it has created a time and a place to sustain the momentum after the events that took place in 2020. Race Equality Week allows organisations to both reflect and pursue action towards tackling race inequality.

Secondly, it has grown from Javed and I, to now 4 million people and 4500 companies across the UK, it proves that the topic of race equality can’t be ignored or handled in a tokenistic manner.

Thirdly, it provides guides and solutions to create inclusive work environments and these solutions have been shaped with the help of people in the community who have a lived experience of discrimination. We put the spotlight on organisations who care.”

The initiatives provided, give the opportunity for all to get involved on a practical level i.e., not just talking but physically doing activities that shift the dial. Also, good ideas for activities that support us in demonstrating commitment.

There is often too much talk, action is the driving force to change for good. Collaborate with colleagues or your internal race networks to understand what actions can be put in place to create or enhance an inclusive working environment. Could your organisation try one of REM’s free solutions.
