How do you celebrate diversity at work through food?

Hi everyone! 😊

I'm Yuru, founder of Hey! Food is Ready, and I recently joined the community. I'd love to hear your ideas.

Our ethos is bringing people together and celebrating the different cultures and flavours in a team. So I'm curious: how do you promote diversity in your workplace with food?

Do you have a team lunch where people share dishes from home, a cultural celebration you love, or a workshop that got everyone talking? What worked, and what didn't?

Would love to hear what you've tried, and what you'd like to try next. Thank you!

Yuru

Haha, we actually have a saying in Brazil that a coffee invitation is never just about coffee 😂 If someone invites you for coffee, there will usually be food involved too the coffee is almost just an excuse to get everyone around the table!

It still catches me out in the UK 😂 Someone invites me for coffee, I arrive hungry and ask what we’re going to eat, and they say, “Oh, I’ve already eaten.” And I’m like… oh nooo, I forgot again!

We’ve never done anything quite like this at LPC, but I absolutely love the idea. I’m actually leaving LPC next week, but I’ll connect with you on LinkedIn and hopefully I can bring something like this into my next company 😊

I’d also love to hear more about how Hey! Food is Ready works and what the workshops actually look like in practice. Please share more about it here I’m sure other companies in the community might love the idea too!

I really love what you’re creating it gives me a little feeling of home ❤️

THANK YOU for joining - London IGC Community Event

Our SECOND London community chapter event is in the bag, and it was amazing to meet new and returning faces from our first event!

As we all know, uncertainty, change, and pressure are at an all-time high across organisations, and as people leads, it can be challenging to navigate that change for ourselves while also leading others through it. That's why during todays event we focused on creating space for celebrations, and our event theme was "Wear your wins" (Shout-out to my amazing co-lead Christiane Wong for the theme)

We focused on how we've all grown over the last year, how far we've come, the skills we've built, the challenges we have navigated, and the people we've met along the way. Themes of self-trust, openness, and the ability to step outside the familiar and trust the process were prevalent throughout. All attendees left with a lovely visual reminder of our reflection/conversation with their own tote bags, so they can "Wear their wins" with pride 😁

Huge thanks to all who attended for being so open to a creative and reflective activity first thing in the morning. Also, huge thanks to the wonderful team at Bloomsyard, Liverpool Street, for doing an impeccable job in hosting us.

We can’t wait to be back bigger and better for our next quarterly event soon. In the meantime, watch this space! 👀 🚀
