McGinley is proud to be supporting the UK’s second Race Equality Week from the 7th -13th February

McGinley is proud to be supporting the UK’s second Race Equality Week from the 7th of February until the 13th of February, organised by Race Equality Matters.

This year over 2000 organisations across the country have united to in activity seriously address race in the workplace.  This year’s theme is #ActionNotJustWords and organisations are encouraged to raise awareness, implement Race Equality Matters solutions and join public events. There are some great resources available on the website.

Race Equality Matters does not only focus on race in the workspace once a year, throughout the year you can get involved in initiatives, including a Virtual Badge Campaign: a public commitment to change, The Big Promise, #MyNameIs; a campaign creating awareness around miss-pronunciation of names, or a facilitated discussion between ethnic minority employees.

McGinley has been working for many years to reduce inequality and improve fairness and equity in the infrastructure industry, It has almost been 2 years since the killing of George Floyd led to a surge of Black Live Matter protests and we are proud to see that an increasing number of companies are accelerating their inclusion strategies to also create a fairer work environment. There is still a long way to go, but last year’s Race Equality Week proved that together, we can drive change and we would like to invite you to be part of this. If you have not yet, you can register here.
