Some of our activities focus on meeting recognised standards of good practice from schemes such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iop.org\/about\/diversity\/initiatives\/juno\/index.html\">Project Juno<\/a> from the Institute of Physics. In addition to this, we regularly seek feedback and suggestions from staff and students in the department via our annual <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.exeter.ac.uk\/physicsinclusivity\/2019\/06\/03\/pulse-check-2019\/\">Pulse check event<\/a>. One suggestion has been to increase the opportunity for social interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Far from being a superfluous addition to the working day, social interaction at work can be vital for creating an inclusive environment. The increased contact increases social bonds, fostering a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/pragyaagarwaleurope\/2019\/08\/26\/belonging-in-the-workplace-a-new-approach-to-diversity-and-inclusivity\/#20f651db7a66\">sense of belonging<\/a> and promoting <a href=\"https:\/\/positivepsychology.com\/positive-relationships-workplace\/\">positive working relationships<\/a>. As well as enhancing collaboration and cooperation, this can help nurture an inclusive environment.<\/p>\n<p>In Physics, we now invite all PhD students, postdocs, academic staff, and professional service staff to meet up twice a month. We started with a monthly Friday afternoon event and then, following requests to widen the scope, added a monthly Tuesday morning event. We currently attract around 30 to 40 people, some who regularly attend and some who drop in occasionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maintaining an inclusive environment for everyone in the Physics department at Exeter is a priority for our Inclusion Group.
