For a great read on changing policing culture, check out Chief Chris Hsiung's article, along with co-authors including Simon Sinek, in Police Chief Magazine. As wise chiefs know, culture eats policy for breakfast every day--which is why it's so crucial that we address the underlying causes of what many communities see as issues with their local PDs. From lack of empathy, to tactics which don't anticipate the unintended possible harmful consequences of otherwise well-meaning actions on the part of local cops, it's all about the culture of the agency for how we can get to policing everywhere that's effective, empathetic and just! https://lnkd.in/eHr6b8zT

The two things I always have in my mind as an IT Specialist: The user and the customer. Our user's ability to navigate their equipment and digital landscapes has a direct impact on our customers. This relationship between our users and customers highlights the importance of addressing issues that contribute to a negative experience, especially as it concerns information technology. Anyone who has been in the military knows that User Acceptance/Experience isn't always a high priority, but I will always stress that it is extremely important, especially when those users are the ones that drive the Customer experience and satisfaction. I am proud to do work that has a positive impact and leads to a successful outcome for our customers.

Love this. Data can and should drive action, when you have the right mindset amongst the stakeholders. The report highlights the STL PSC which is focused on this as a core principle. In 2023, I'm not sure we need new dashboards that shine a spotlight on the negative things we already know. We have plenty of them. Would prefer we focus those resources on improving spaces and lifting everyone up. Empower people to create change using their existing skill sets and motivations. All that's missing is enough coordination, IMO. What do y'all think? What strategies are you using that drive action vs. admire the problem?

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus! Happy St David’s Day! The first of March is Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant, or St David’s Day, the day when Wales celebrates its patron saint. A renowned preacher, his final words to his followers before his death on 1 March 589 were “Be joyful, keep the faith, and do the little things that you have heard and seen me do.” St David believed that we should “do the little things”, the small, considerate things that often make a big difference. What's one small thing you could do today that might make a big difference somewhere or to someone? - Check in with a friend or colleague you’ve not spoken to for a while? - Smile at someone as you pass them in the office or in the street? - Make someone a cuppa? - Let someone know you think they’re doing a great job? You never know how the small thing that you do might impact someone else’s day 😊 Let us know the little things that you do to make a difference. #Kindness #Wellbeing #WellbeingAtWork #Support #HR #HRCommunity #Inclusion #Recognition

As some of you may well know, the Artington Group is now a B Corp. So we’re celebrating B Corp month. What is B Corp month? It’s an annual, global campaign designed to increase awareness about B Corps and how they’re different from other businesses. Every year during March, the global community of over 8,000 B Corps join together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp. What is a B Corp? B Corps are for-profit companies dedicated to making a positive impact. They must meet rigorous social and environmental criteria, legally commit to stakeholder accountability, and ensure transparency by disclosing information. B Corp certification confirms adherence to high standards across various areas, from employee benefits to supply chain practices. B Corp Certification is holistic, not exclusively focused on a single social or environmental issue. For more information visit https://lnkd.in/fmyKYrT #bcorp #bcorporation #ArtingtonLegal
