Laura speaks openly about why inclusion matters, including during colleague inductions, encouraging people to consider how their words and actions affect those around them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody should feel excluded because of who they are or the challenges they face,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"block_acf-block-6adf6e3f8a09f\" data-animate-container=\"waterfall\"  class=\"post-block-text article-text-block \">\n        <div data-animate=\"item\" data-animate-container=\"text\"             class=\"text-[#475467] prose-headings:text-ocs-gray-nav prose-h1:font-semibold prose-h1:mb-10 prose-headings:font-medium prose prose-ocs prose-li:pl-0 w-full max-w-none\n        \"\n            style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF;\">\n            <div data-animate=\"prose\" >\n                <h3>Listening Helps Colleagues Feel Supported<\/h3>\n<p>For colleagues starting a new role or facing a personal challenge, someone who takes the time to listen can make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Rich, a Helpdesk Scheduler, spoke to Laura about his ADHD and autism diagnosis as he started a new role. Laura took time to listen, ask questions and understand his perspective. The conversation was brief, but it had a lasting positive impact.<\/p>\n<p>Matt later shared his experience in a testimonial that formed part of Laura\u2019s award nomination.

She has previously chaired and co-chaired OCS\u2019s culture group, supporting initiatives to improve physical and emotional safety at work.<\/p>\n<p>She has also changed the approach to colleague communications within the <a href=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/uk\/news\/ocs-completes-emcor-uk-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Critical Environments<\/a> sector on her contract. Previously, employee spotlights focused on a colleague\u2019s role and length of service. Laura introduced a wider approach, with each feature focusing on something different, giving colleagues more opportunities to share their experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Matt was among the first to take part, choosing to talk about neurodiversity. Laura created space for him to share his perspective through his role and personal experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The response showed the value of that change. After the feature, colleagues have approached Matt for advice about their own personal struggles. His story has helped open up conversations that might otherwise have been difficult to start.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Laura has been promoting the <a href=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/uk\/careers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Champions Network<\/a>, connecting colleagues with those who are able to offer guidance, signpost available support or take time to listen. The network covers not only mental health but wellbeing, communication and digital inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these initiatives help colleagues find relevant support and encourage a workplace culture where people feel able to raise concerns and ask for help.<\/p>\n<p>Laura believes that even small changes can have a lasting effect on an individual\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n

<h3>Recognition That Reflects OCS\u2019s TRUE Values<\/h3>\n<p>Laura was one of 12 nominees in the <strong>WISH Diversity Champion of the Year category<\/strong>. Receiving the award was especially meaningful because the nomination came from her colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just really lovely to be recognised in the first place by my colleagues,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Her contribution demonstrates the <a href=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/uk\/about-ocs\/tv-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRUE Values<\/a> in practice. By listening without judgement, sharing her experiences, and helping colleagues find the right support, Laura helps create a workplace where people feel able to speak openly and be themselves. How people listen, communicate, and respond to one another helps determine whether colleagues feel respected and comfortable being themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The WISH award recognises the impact of that approach, from the confidence one colleague gains through a conversation to the wider connections created when people feel comfortable sharing their experiences.<\/p>\n<p>For Laura, the difference lies in the small actions that make someone feel understood and listened to. Her work shows that inclusion grows through everyday choices, and every colleague has their part to play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"block_acf-block-6adf6e3f8b7e1\" data-animate-container=\"waterfall\"  class=\"rounded-3xl  \">\n        <div data-animate=\"item\" class=\"group relative flex flex-col lg:flex-row-reverse \">\n                        <div class=\"relative w-full lg:w-1\/2 aspect-[3\/2] lg:h-auto rounded-t-3xl lg:rounded-tl-none lg:rounded-r-3xl\">\n                                    <div class=\"relative overflow-hidden h-full rounded-t-3xl lg:-ml-10 lg:rounded-l-none lg:rounded-r-3xl\">\n                        <picture>\n                            <source srcset=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BRE-9172-1773278598-1024x683.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpg\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BRE-9172-1773278598-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Explore Recent Awards and Industry Recognition\" class=\"group-hover:scale-110 transition duration-150 ease-in object-cover w-full h-full rounded-t-3xl lg:rounded-l-none lg:rounded-r-3xl\" \/>\n                        <\/picture>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div data-animate-container=\"text\"  class=\"relative flex flex-col w-full lg:w-1\/2 gap-8 -mt-8 lg:mt-0 p-6 md:px-10 md:py-12 bg-ocs-orange-lightest rounded-3xl\"  style=\"background-color: #F6F6FA\" >\n                                                    <h2 data-animate=\"heading\" class=\"text-ocs-gray-nav font-medium text-[28px] leading-[38px] text-crop\">\n                        Explore Recent Awards and Industry Recognition                    <\/h2>\n                                                                        \n<a data-animate=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/uk\/awards-recognition\/\" class=\"w-fit mt-4 lg:mt-0  relative inline-block text-[16px] px-5 py-3 rounded-full focus:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 ring-ocs-black btn-primary\" target=\"_self\">\n    Awards &amp; Recognition <\/a>                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Bradley, Engagement and Social Value Manager for OCS UK&amp;I, has been named WISH Diversity Champion of the Year.
