action</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">We launched the second phase of our flagship global inclusion programme this year with an e-learning module focusing on moving ‘from awareness to action’, helping colleagues to harness the power of active allyship. 87% of colleagues from 56 countries completed the training, with 94% saying they would recommend it to others.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Capturing diversity data</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">We upgraded our HR systems by creating new fields and adding more options for colleagues to choose to describe their personal characteristics. Although we recognize that updating individual profiles is a personal choice, we encourage colleagues to provide this information to help us better understand the diversity of our workforce.</p> <p> </p> </div> <div class="col"> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Celebrating wellbeing at OUP</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For the first time we marked Inclusion Week 2023 (25 September – 1 October) and World Mental Health Day (10 October) together by organizing a range of activities for colleagues. These included engaging speaker sessions as well as webinars and training about allyship. More than 3,500 colleagues worldwide took part.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Following on from this focus on wellbeing and inclusion, we recruited 60 self-nominated, CPD-accredited Wellbeing Champions from OUP offices across the world. This network will support colleagues with wellbeing advice and support.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Global menopause guidelines </strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Among several policies and guidance documents focused on wellbeing and inclusion that were released this year were our global menopause guidelines. The guidelines are designed to empower individuals and provide them with information, resources, and a supportive work environment, as well as offering advice for managers. Normalizing conversations about menopause through knowledge and understanding means we can create a more compassionate and accommodating workplace culture for all.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="accordions" class="two-column-content alignfull block block-background-colour white text-rpr-green " style=""> <div class='wrapper' data-aos='fade-up'> <div class="inner"> <div class='columns '> <div class='col'> <div class="text-block centre"> <h2 class='rpr-green' data-aos='fade-up'> Colleague network initiatives for diversity and inclusion</h2> <div class="text " data-aos='fade-up'> <p style="font-weight: 400; text-align: center;">We have a series of colleague-run networks across OUP, who support our diversity and inclusion initiatives.
