Hey Friend -    Happy New Year!    Over the last few years, Podcasting grew by leaps and bounds. That said, podcasting in its simplest form is exclusionary to the 10+ million people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Audio-only content cannot always be consumed or enjoyed by this particular community, and the problem gets worse when there's poor audio quality or the lack of accessibility features.  In this particularly personal episode of The Creative Cast, Tammy talks about why podcasts need to try to be as accessible as possible to the special needs community. She includes tips, tricks, and resources on how to make your podcast more accessible in 2022!  For the full episode show notes, please go to www.tammymunsoncreative.com/Episode36

#ShowtheSalary has arrived in Canada. Started in the UK as a movement toward more fair, equitable and just hiring practices the Show the Salary movement is sweeping the entire charitable sector and is quickly becoming considered best practice. The Association of Fundraising Professionals, Greater Toronto Chapter has adopted a new policy that all job postings include the salary. This is kind of a big deal, because a significant part of this chapter's revenue is generated from their job postings. So financially it is a pretty bold move and sets a great example for other job posting services. In fact, this week the Canadian Association of Gift Planners made the same commitment. The tide is turning. Today we are thrilled to welcome Amy Pawluk and Penny Connors to share more about how and why the AFP Greater Toronto took this important step. Amy Pawluk, is the President of the AFP Toronto Chapter and has been involved in the chapter as a volunteer since 2011. She is driven to advance fundraising as a profession, works as Executive Vice President, Marketing and New Business development at Blakely Inc. and is proudly raising her little girl to be a strong and caring women. Penny Connors holds degrees in Psychology and Business Administration from York university, is a certified association executive and is currently applying her extensive management experience to delivering the AFP Toronto Chapter's strategic plan as she serves as the Executive Director of the Association of Fundraising Professionals greater Toronto chapter. A very special thank you to the army of volunteers that initiated the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessiblity priorities at the Toronto chapter over the years. These changes take time and are often the results of tireless efforts from many people who demanded change over many years. This policy is another small step toward a more inclusive, equitable and just charitable sector.

Fail to prepare, then prepare to fail.  If you don't want to fail an assessment before you've even begun, be prepared. I'm just going to take you through the top 5 mistakes companies make that can lead to stress and failure – now this isn't a definitive list – there are of course many things that could go wrong, I'm just going to share with you my 5 favourite blunders that you can very easily avoid. Not informing employees Yes – pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised to hear how many times a Management systems is just kept to one person and a communications plan has not been implemented to inform all employees.  The best informed employees make the best people to be assessed. Imagine – you are an assessor and you rock up only to hear an employee when asked about their process say ‘What process? What Environmental Policy? Business Continuity Planning – What's the point in having a BCP if no one know how to how to respond to an incident? By not informing employees – As it triggers bad vibes i.e nervous, wary, stressed Communication plan – CEO, Champions, agenda of meetings, launch, newsletter updates, online comms i.e. slack   Not having access to the right people The assessor doesn't need to see every single person. Does need to see the key process owners and some representatives from the leadership team. Quality – operations, HR, key process owners i.e. heads of functions Environment – Facilities Managers, an Environnemental Champion. Information Security – IT, back-ups, incident reporting, HR (starters/leavers) and physical security i.e. Office Manager or if you are in services offices – give the person on reception the heads up. Make sure you have the agenda for the visits well in advance – all reputable UKAS accredited certification bodies should send this to you weeks in advance – if they haven't chase it. This helps you to ensure that the right people are available at the right time.   Not having access to your management system Sounds silly, but you'd be surprised. We've even come across cases of rogue consultants where the Management system is owned (IP and all) by the consultant – not the company. Scary! Make sure you have access to your policies, procedures, documents and templates These can be online, displayed, hard copy or audio/visual Nothing more embarrassing than missing a key document or you've got 3 versions of it, and no one know which is the right one. Accessiblity is key – Sharepoint/intranet/wiki's/dropboc   Not having access to your records. Stage 2 Assessment is a ‘Show and tell' –make sure the right people and have access to the right records. Pre-empt any pitfalls - a disorganised business will have records all over the place – because there is no structure. Also, make sure your supplier records are compliant – one of the main causes of non-conformities in Environmental management and Health and Safety is lack of accurate supplier records Waste records, Lift maintenance records, FGas records – most of these aren't ISO Standards requirements – they are LEGAL requirements. Legal register/due diligence   And last but not least…… Don't make any assumptions Don't make any assumptions that that your assessor will know your business inside out – they won't understand your culture, vision, values and USP's. Use this as an opportunity to showcase all the strengths of your business and how well managed it is. With our clients we'll always get the representative of the leadership in the room for the kick-off meeting – Don't worry the assessor doesn't need to be glued to the assessors hip all day every day, 30 mins attendance at the kick-off meeting max is suffice. This shows the business is serious about their ISO Commitment and demonstrates that there is full leadership support and that employees are onboard. Likewise – don't assume that your assessor knows nothing about your industry – in many cases, if you are in a sector, chances are that your assessor i.e. construction, engineering, manufacturing your assessor has seen the good, the bad and the ugly. Take notes, so you can refer back to these – as there can be some valuable observations that an assessor may make which you could take back to your continual improvement process. Don't assume that these will be captured in the report at the end of the assessment.   So to recap – the 5 mistakes to avoid in an ISO assessment are…… Not informing employees Not having access to the right people on the days of the assessment Not having access to your management system Not having access to your records. Don't make any assumptions And don't forget, these mistakes can easily be prevented if you prepare well before an assessment. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. If you need any assistance with ISO standards, contact us!

On today's episode we sit down with Marcy Sutton—a senior front end engineer at Deque Systems, where she works on accessibility. We talk about the intersection and differentiations in performance and accessibility. Marcy explains that there's a huge audience that's being missed by not making your website accessible. Unfortunately, if it's not something you have a personal connection to, it may not occur to you to think about. We talk about how most companies become interested in accessibility after they suffer a lawsuit, and how Marcy's teaching us ways we can be proactive instead of reactive. We look at tools on how to make our sites more accessible and who to make them accessible for. We also talk about the metrics to use to measure success and usability.
