As the month of October invites us to pause, reflect and celebrate, we at Intersect Global recognise that Black History Month is more than a moment, it is a movement. This month is a dedicated time to honour the resilience, creativity and leadership of Black individuals and communities across the UK and beyond. In the words of the UK theme for 2025 “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”. University of London
At Intersect Global, we believe in turning that sentiment into action.
What this means for us:
- We celebrate the countless contributions of Black professionals, leaders, clients and candidates within our network and beyond.
- We commit to listening, learning and evolving as an inclusive organisation — one where everyone’s voice can be heard, valued and elevated.
- We embed purpose into our work by ensuring that diversity, equity and inclusive practices aren’t just a checklist for October, but threads in every project, partnership and placement.
- We embrace the idea that representation matters not only who we place, but how we foster talent, promote opportunity and support career journeys of all backgrounds.
How we’ll mark the month:
- Internal conversations and resources around cultural history, inclusive leadership and how we can all be allies and advocates in our day-to-day.
- Leveraging our position as a global recruitment partner to spotlight best practice: applying inclusion not just in hiring, but in cultivating workplace environments that allow everyone to thrive.
This is our invitation: join us in celebrating the myriad achievements of Black communities and in reflecting on how we individually and organisationally can contribute to a future where equity isn’t optional, but expected.
To our colleagues, clients, candidates and partners: thank you for your contribution. Together, let’s stand firm in power and pride, not just this month, but all year round.
