For it’s 10^th year running, the week of September 26^th – October 2^nd is National Inclusion week. This week is dedicated to celebrating differences and promoting inclusion within the workplace. The theme this year is ‘Time to Act: The power of Now’.

Ensuring we have a diverse workforce, and being inclusive in both learning and celebrating different cultures and backgrounds has been extremely important to us at Raconteur and is something we strive to do everyday. For this  years' National Inclusion week, the Diversity & Inclusion champions organised our very own ‘Bring it in – Pot Luck lunch’.

We invited all of our colleagues to cook and bring in a dish that is popular in their culture or upbringing and then we all tried each other’s dishes in a taster-style buffet lunch.

It was a fantastic opportunity for all of us to learn about different cultures and try some new signature dishes from all around the world.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! We got the opportunity to try each others' delicacies while chatting about our backgrounds and sharing stories of our childhood and upbringing.

Not only did we leave the lunch with very full stomachs, we also left feeling as though we'd all been given a snippet into everyone's culture and background.
