SUMMARY:How do you build/maintain team culture in a flexible work environment?
DESCRIPTION:EEON invites you to join our next event: How do you build/maintain team culture in a flexible work environment?\nThursday 18th April\n12.00 to 2.00pm\nHybrid Event\nRMIT Kaleide Theatre\nand online via MS Teams\nTickets $50 (+bf) or free for EEON members  \n\nModerated by EEON Life Member Jill Sears\, we will be looking at the practical actions that can be taken in a workplace to support a team culture while still allowing the flexibility that many have come to appreciate in recent years. \n\nThere has been a lot of coverage about flexibility recently and it is timely now to have a discussion on this very important topic\nIn a post covid environment\, we’ve seen organisations step into new ways of working and their attempts to balance both flexibility at an individual level together with workplace culture\nOne of the most publicised topics recently has been about organisations snapping back to working in the office\, some exclusively in the office\, stating that it is difficult to build and maintain a workplace culture in a hybrid or working from home work environment.\nSome research has told us that in a hybrid environment\, there is even more emphasis on line leaders to connect their employees to team\, to the organisation and to the organisations culture\, more than in an office environment.\nAt the same time\, we know that organisations are balancing the need to create more inclusive workplaces and so how then is a topic such as inclusion impacted through flexibility and a flexible work environment?

SUMMARY:Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility: stories from people about the impact when we get it right.\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nEver wondered how you can get accessibility right so people with disability are empowered to achieve their full potential? \nEEON are delighted to host four great speakers who share their lived experience\, the adjustments made for accessibility and the impact for them: in their studies\, in their work\, in recreation\, in business and in their everyday. \nAsking people what they need or better still planning for systems that make it simple is respectful and essential. \nAnd remember that old adage about assumptions – avoid them! \nTake the time to listen and reflect on the stories today and then do make accessibility part of the norm. \nJoin us for a hybrid event – online or in person for a networking lunch and hear from: \n \n\n\n\nSaman Akbaryan\, MSc. was born in Iran. He went on to complete a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering\, a Master’s in eCommerce and is now a fresh graduate of The University of Melbourne. His Master of Information Technology\, specialising in Human-Computer Interaction\, and his lived experience as a proud person with a disability have positioned him perfectly to develop technological solutions for people with disabilities. \nHe currently works as a Project Manager and UX Specialist at Cultural Infusion. \n  \nJodie Nicks (she/her) Senior Advisor\, Disability and Accessibility\, Inclusion\, Department of Families\, Fairness and Housing \nJodie lives with disability and is a senior adviser for disability and accessibility with the Victorian government.

SUMMARY:Age Discrimination
DESCRIPTION:Age Discrimination – Ageing well\, a longer life journey and brilliant careers  \nThursday 16 June 12.00-2:15pm at RMIT and virtual \nBook on Eventbrite or call Adrian on 0408-750-200 or email info@eeon.org.au \nMany organisations across Australia now see Diversity and Inclusion as a business imperative that contributes to productive and happy workplaces. With greater diversity (including older workers) and inclusive practices; job satisfaction\, job engagement\, career development opportunities and retention improve. \nHowever\, we should ask\, what has really changed since the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Willing to Work Report\, the National Inquiry into Employment Discrimination Against Older Australians and Australians with Disability (2016). Older workers falling victim to ‘grey ceiling’ discrimination (Martin) or younger workers not being able to secure their first job. According to The New Work Reality report\, 60 per cent of 25 year-olds enter the workforce with a degree. Despite this\, 35 per cent are unemployed and underemployed because they are told that they do not enough work experience\, lack an appropriate education of have poor career management skills. \nn the last few years organisations have invested heavily in diversity\, equity and inclusion strategies\, including gender equity. Have the same efforts been made to address age discrimination? This forum will explore some of personal impacts (including invisibility) and impact on the economy of age discrimination\, some latest thinking and practice that will get you to view our life journey differently\, and practical strategies to make your workplace age ready and more inclusive. \nThe Equal Employment Opportunity Network would like to warmly invite to our third forum for the year which explores the theme on Age Discrimination in employment.  We will be hearing from four expert speakers with a range of experiences in this area and in addition we will provide time for you to reflect and share in line with our Learn\, Think\, Do philosophy. \nOur forum flow  \n  \n \nOur Aboriginal ancestors offer the wisdom passed down over thousands of years. Pause\, deeply listen and be inspired by the wisdom of one Aboriginal Elder\, Aunty Janet Turpie-Johnstone on a different perspective and then reflect on what we might learn from Aboriginal Eldership. \nAgeing in the context of the pandemic and a world where digital literacy is the future leaves older people feeling isolated and left behind. The Commissioner for Senior Victorians Gerard Mansour highlights impacts post Covid\, age discrimination in employment and elder abuse in the context of his Ageing well in a changing world report\, launched in late 2020. \nProfessor Philip Taylor from Federation University shares research insights over the course of a 30-year career into the nature and extent of age discrimination in the Australian labour market and strategies for addressing age discrimination in the workplace and wider society. \nA longer life journey and a career that extends into our mature years requires policies that reflect a contemporary world\, one where we embrace the strengths of diversity and a culture of inclusion. Commissioner Deputy Chief Executive from COTA Australia\, Corey Irlam shares policy priorities presented to government\, best practice behaviour and practical ideas for inclusion and overcoming age discrimination. \nAt EEON we believe you create change by learning\, reflecting and then doing. Our vision is to help Australia’s workplaces become more diverse\, equitable and inclusive.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ in the workplace with a focus on Gender Diversity.
DESCRIPTION:EEON invites you to this forum on the issues Transgender\, Gender Diverse\, Non-binary (TGDNB) people face in the workplace\nAs with all EEON events this will be an interactive event where we will give you the opportunity to ‘Learn\, Think & Do!’\nOur speaker for this event will be Michelle Sheppard\n \nMichelle Sheppard “Mama Mish” is a highly respected presenter\, advocate\, and trainer in the gender equity space.\n\nAs a transgender woman\, she appreciates the difficulties within the grey created by the gender divide and not only traverses them herself\, she willing takes others on the ride with her.\nSome of her high profile media engagements include JOY 94.9\, AFL\, ANZ\, BMW\, and Channel 9.\nShe embodies dignity\, grace and the change that is needed to make a positive difference in others’ lives\, empowers women and challenges barriers to inclusion\, discrimination\, and harassment.\n\nTransgender people experience significant levels of discrimination\, not just in employment but in all areas of life. Despite a growing global awareness of the struggles Transgender\, Gender Diverse\, Non-binary (TGDNB) people face\, many employers remain ill-equipped to create the policies and workplace cultures that would support TGDNB employees.\nWe as a community follow a variety of well-known corporate sponsors globally as they apply rainbow stripes to their logos\, fly flags from their headquarters buildings and add attractive gay and lesbian couples to their ads. A survey by Harris Interactive found “approximately two-thirds of LGBTQ+ adults\, or roughly 66%\, would be very or somewhat likely to remain loyal to a company or brand they believed to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community\, even when less-supportive competitors offered lower prices or greater convenience.”\nBUT nine of the biggest\, most LGBTQ-supportive corporations in America\, gave about $1 million or more each to anti-gay politicians in the last election cycle. So\, there is a lack of trust when it comes to organisations and their brands when it comes to inclusion and trust. The lack of communication publicly to the work you are doing internally as an organisation to “playing it safe” to avoid backlash from opposing voices impacts this.\nSo\, lack of visible minorities of all backgrounds in imagery\, lack of transparency in your inclusion work are just two things that contribute to further discrimination and isolation against TGDNB people and feeding ignorance or a lack of understanding and knowledge about these challenges: \n\nMore than one in four TGDNB people have lost a job due to bias\,\nMore than three-fourths have experienced some form of workplace discrimination or harassment\,\nRefusal to hire\, privacy violations\,\nPhysical and sexual violence on the job are common occurrences\,\nMany people report changing jobs to avoid discrimination or the risk of discrimination\,\nExtreme levels of unemployment and poverty lead one in eight to become involved in underground economies—such as sex and drug work—to survive\,\nWe need to build a broader understanding among employers about the issues TGDNB face from a lived experience point of view so they can prevent discrimination from occurring and create a safe and supportive work environment for TGDNB employees.A great place to start is just in understanding the difference between sexual diverse minorities and gender diverse minorities. Companies that are LGBTQ+-friendly usually focus more on the “LGB” than on the “TQ+.” Especially the surge of violence against transgender people globally has passed a grim milestone:\nAccording to HRC\, more trans people have been killed so far in 2021 than were killed in 2013\, 2014\, 2015\, 2016\, 2018 and 2019.\n350 transgender people were killed in 2020\, risen since 2019’s total of 331.\n2021 was on pace to be deadliest yet for Transgender\, Non-Binary\, and gender non-conforming people.We have far bigger priorities than pronouns and bathrooms as we are far too busy surviving by navigating our experiences of stigma and discrimination\, the public hostility from society\, and pressure to “manage” our identities in social settings meeting the gender stereotypes\, including our workplace well-being.\nThis can include discrimination in:\nThe provision of goods and services\,\nDenial of accommodation\,\nAbuse or even physical violence\,\nParticipation in physical health such as gyms and sport and may include harassment\,\nSocial isolation\,\nNot being recognised as their preferred or recognised gender\,\nBeing forced to disclose private information and missing out on employment opportunities\,
