LCVA supporting National Inclusion Week 2023 💖
info • October 1, 2023
It’s National Inclusion Week!
National Inclusion Week 2023 is a dedicated to creating and celebrating an inclusive culture in the workplace and society in general. Its aim is to unite individuals and communities all over the world to take action towards diversity and inclusion.
We would like to take the time to say that LCVA views inclusion and diversity in the workplace is an integral part of any company, and the values celebrated in this week are ones that we wholeheartedly believe in.
Not only do we share the values of National Inclusion Week, we also actively work towards creating a more inclusive environment, whether this be within LCVA itself, or our relationship with clients. Throughout LCVA’s business journey, we’ve worked with many people who need additional support to enable them to run their business or to work to their best of their ability.
After being diagnosed with ADHD, one client reached out to us for help with their business. We were more than happy to support them in any way we could, such as creating processes and systems to help keep work organised and managing their time in order to stay on top of their workload.
This is one of the mains reasons we advocate for home-based working and flexible working hours because this can make such a difference to some entrepreneurs and employees with certain disabilities. By working virtually with these individual really allow us to provide a bespoke service to meet the needs of each individual when needed. Recently we stepped in to help a client with Cerebral Palsy with PA duties, diary management, and admin support. We provided a lot of assistance with note taking in meetings, due to the client having written communication limitations – however due to speech to text software our client was able to work alongside us in these areas as well. Technology is such a smart tool to help ease the load which is why we are always keeping our eyes peeled for useful software that will benefit our clients.
Additionally, a handful of our clients claim our services through Access To Work which is a government funded scheme within the UK that provides support people with diagnosed physical and mental health conditions in the workplace. Through this, they are able to apply for help based on their needs – which is where we come in to help!
We are very proud to be able to take part in this scheme and help people feel accepted and more comfortable at work.
We passionately believe that having any disability or any other diagnosis shouldn’t limit what you can do in your professional life – whether it’s running your own business or keeping organised as an employee. If we can create an accommodating environment, we can create opportunities for people to achieve great things!
If you feel like you need any of the additional support we’ve talked about in this post, just send us a message via our social media channels or contact us via email - info@lcvaservices.com
Spring is such a lovely season – flowers are blooming, the days get longer, and everyone starts to get excited for the warm weather! But spring is also the perfect time for refreshing and renewal in our homes and lives – and with LCVA, you can refresh your business too! In this blog, we’ll explore how working with us can help you spring into productivity, streamline your workflow, and prepare your business for a successful year ahead. This season is an ideal time to streamline, organise and reset your business branding, strategies, or even just have a good old clean out of your inbox – and we can help with that! Spring Cleaning Your Business In a lot of ways, businesses are like homes! They can benefit from the same decluttering process – just as you might clear out some old clothes from your wardrobe or weed your garden – you can organise your digital space or clear out your OneDrive folders in an effort to run your business more smoothly. But we know all of this organisation is time-consuming - many entrepreneurs find themselves buried under a mountain of administrative tasks that take away from the important work of growing their business. We can help clear away that "clutter" by offering services such as organising your digital files and managing your inbox. Here are some specific ways LCVA can help with your spring business cleaning: Organising Emails: We can manage your inbox, sort through emails, set up folders, and filing away correspondence so you’re not constantly overwhelmed with communication. By supporting you in these areas, we can ensure your days run smoothly. Managing Calendars, Projects & Tasks: LCVA can take over administrative tasks like scheduling meetings, setting reminders, or updating project management systems, giving you more time to focus on important business matters. Clearing Out Old Data: If your OneDrive or Dropbox are cluttered with outdated information, we can help clean that up, ensuring your files are up to date and easy to access. Spring cleaning isn’t just about clearing your physical space; it’s about creating room for the growth and success you want in your business. With our help, you’ll be able to focus on what really matters! Rejuvenating Your Workflow for Maximum Efficiency Spring isn’t just a time to tidy up—it’s an opportunity to rejuvenate. Just like your home gets a deep clean, your business workflows can also benefit from a thorough refresh. Are you spending too much time on administrative work? Are there tasks that feel repetitive and slow down your productivity? If so, it's time to rethink. We can step in and take over the tasks that slow down your day-to-day operations. By offloading these responsibilities, you can focus on more strategic aspects of your business! Here’s how LCVA can help rejuvenate your workflow: Customer Service: With the help of LCVA, you can delegate customer service tasks, whether it’s responding to inquiries, conducting market or business research, or ordering products. This frees you up to work on more creative or strategic initiatives. Social Media & Content Creation: Managing your online presence is crucial, but it’s also time-consuming. We can support you with content creation, scheduling social media posts, and managing engagement across platforms. By rejuvenating your workflow and letting us manage the day-to-day tasks, you’ll create more space for innovation and business growth. A Time for Renewal and Fresh Strategies Easter represents a time of renewal, fresh starts, and growth. It’s a time to reflect on where you are and where you want to go—and your business can benefit from this same mindset! With spring in the air, now is the perfect time to refresh your business strategies! This season isn’t just about clearing out old habits and processes; it’s also about embracing new opportunities and ideas. We can help you revamp your marketing strategy, plan for new product launches, or refresh your brand’s message. Here are a few ways LCVA can help you prepare for growth this season: Marketing Campaigns: Whether it’s creating product promotion or launching a new service, we can help you execute your marketing campaigns. We can handle the behind-the-scenes work—writing content, designing promotional materials, and tracking results. Website Updates & Content Creation: Keeping your website fresh and up to date is essential, and we can support you in this area too. From blog writing to updating your offerings, we can ensure your website reflects your current business goals. Customer Engagement: We can also assist with customer outreach, sending personalised emails or letters, and gathering feedback. This engagement helps foster loyalty and sets the foundation for long-term success. Just as Spring symbolises new beginnings, your business can benefit from a renewed approach to marketing, customer outreach, and strategic planning. Let us help you embrace these opportunities and move your business forward! Preparing for the Busy Summer Season While we’re in the heart of spring, it’s important to remember that summer is just around the corner. For many businesses, the summer months are a peak season for sales, growth, and activity. So, now is the time to get ahead of the game and prepare for the busy months ahead! By outsourcing tasks to us, you can focus on revenue-generating activities and avoid burnout when the summer rush begins. You’ll set your business up for success and avoid the stress of juggling too many responsibilities during the summer months. Conclusion So, are you ready to spring into action? By working with us, you can ensure your business is organised, efficient, and ready to thrive. With the right support, this spring could mark the beginning of your most successful year yet - let’s work together to give your business the fresh start it deserves!
