Looking Back & Moving Forward: Inclusion in 2024
Your monthly Diversity, Equity & Inclusion newsletter by House of Inclusion
As 2024 comes to a close we’re not just wrapping up another year; we’re wrapping up our very first year of challenges, learning and milestones.
As we gear up for 2025, we’re excited to take everything we’ve learned and double down on our efforts to champion inclusion in every corner of the workplace.
But we’re not done just yet! This month we’ll be hosting an online DE&I talkshow (which you can be a part of) and numerous workshops.
Grab your mulled wine (or coffee, we don’t judge), and let’s dive in! 🎄👇

As we all learn more about the wonderfully unique ways people think and work, it’s time to give neurodiversity the spotlight it deserves. With up to 20% of the world’s population identifying as neurodiverse, workplaces have a golden opportunity to step up their game. Think less “one-size-fits-all” and more “how can we make this place awesome for everyone?” Because let’s face it—comfortable, flexible, and inclusive spaces are just good vibes all around. ✨

Inclusion is priceless, but let’s talk business. 💼 Starting 2025, our rates will see a little growth spurt—just like your DE&I goals.
