In honour of Inclusion Week, Southgate Beaumont in Southgate hosted a “Taste of the World”, a special event where employees brought in and shared dishes from their cultural backgrounds. The initiative, part of the company’s annual Inclusion Week celebrations from 15th September to 21st September, highlighted the diverse cultures that make up the organization’s workforce.
The event transformed Southgate Beaumont into a global culinary festival, featuring dishes that ranged from Nigerian jollof rice, Rice and peas from Jamaica, Puff Puff from Cameroon, Cheese and Meatballs from Romania, Tea and cakes from the UK and desserts from Philippines.
Employees shared the stories and traditions behind their food, fostering a deeper connection and appreciation for one another’s heritage.
” Inclusion Week is a powerful reminder that our strength lies in our differences. The potluck was a perfect example of that. It was amazing to experience so many different flavours and stories from around the world without leaving the office. It’s truly inspiring to work somewhere that celebrates our unique cultures” – said Beatrice Godfrey, General Manager
Ana Balie, Healthcare Assistant mentioned “It was a wonderful opportunity for us to step away from our desks and connect on a personal level, using food as a universal language.”
