1. Transcription and Captioning Updates
• The voice memo feature now includes transcription capabilities, which some find impressive, while others find it intrusive.
2. Invited speakers
• Issues with finding affordable speakers
• SD put forward as 'Diversity Tsar/Star' - will think about it
3. Training Recap
• Recent privacy move training by Sarah received positive feedback for clarity and effectiveness.
• Future training plans include regular updates and refresher sessions.
4. Staff Pairing and In-Group Dynamics
• Concerns raised over preferential working groups:
• Some staff consistently request to work only with certain colleagues, potentially impacting inclusivity and morale.
• Suggestions to encourage broader pairings to balance experience and reduce siloed teams.
5. Health and Wellness in the Workplace
• Proposal for informal wellness checks, particularly aimed at younger, potentially less-fit team members.
6. Workplace Conduct and Policy Clarity
• Proposal to define clearer guidelines around teammate requests.
• Request for a code of conduct for team interactions to enhance mutual respect and professional behavior.
7. Sensitive Content and Marketing Direction
• Discussion about the need to avoid controversial and potentially offensive imagery in company spaces and social media:
• Move away from edgy or politically charged content to align with company growth and updated branding.
• Proposal to implement guidelines for marketing and internal posts to ensure compliance with workplace standards and inclusivity.
8. Christmas Party Scheduling
• Consideration of shifting the annual Christmas party to November instead of January 26th due to its close association with Australia Day/Invasion Day sensitivities.
9. Anonymous Reporting System
• Positive feedback on the QR code system for anonymous reporting of workplace issues.
• Proposal to enhance visibility and usage of this reporting tool with follow-up confirmations when reports are received.
10. Community and Cultural Initiatives
• Ideas proposed for community engagement:
• Creation of a community board for sharing updates and achievements.

Respect

Creativity
11. Creative and Cultural Suggestions
• Emphasis on the music and artistic culture within the company:
• Potential for team-led podcasts or a music-focused community space to encourage collaboration and creativity outside of work tasks.
Action Items:
• Management to review and implement guidelines around staff pairing to promote inclusivity.
• Training on new policies and respect in the workplace scheduled for next month.
• Community Board setup to encourage a sense of company culture and visibility on internal updates.
• Code of Conduct drafting based on suggested values and principles
