Embedding Inclusion: Flotation Energy completes ADUCE Programme with Men for Inclusion

Last week, our team had the pleasure of completing the final session of the ADUCE programme with the incredible Fusion Ambassadors at Flotation Energy. Over the past few months, this dedicated group has been on a transformative journey with us, one focused not just on understanding inclusion, but on embedding it meaningfully into workplace culture.

Co-delivered by myself and Stacey Will, the final four-hour workshop brought together all the elements of the programme, translating knowledge into action and commitment into long-term change.

The Journey So Far

The ADUCE framework provides a structured approach to developing inclusive leadership and cultures. At Flotation Energy, the Fusion Ambassadors engaged with each stage in depth:

• Awareness – Recognising how accidental ‘-isms’ can show up in the workplace and how to interrupt them.

• Desire – Exploring ways to engage the traditionally passive majority, especially those in positions of influence, to help build inclusive cultures.

• Understanding – Defining what ‘good’ looks like in a truly inclusive and equitable workplace.

• Capability – Equipping the group with the confidence, skills, and tools to take action, influence others, and lead cultural change.

• Embedding – In our final session, we focused on turning insight into impact: applying everything the team had learned to real-world situations in their organisation.

Leading by Example

Our heartfelt thanks go to Mark Spring, Fiona Moir, Alix Gunn, Deborah Woods, Jo Stanley, Leanne Spence, and Matthew Barnott, CEng, as well as the broader team at Flotation Energy, for their unwavering leadership and commitment. This programme was never just about ticking a box or fulfilling a policy—it was about building a workplace where everyone belongs and succeeds together.

More Than a Business Case

Inclusion isn’t just a corporate initiative. It’s a people initiative. It’s about creating workplaces grounded in purpose, driven by shared values, and empowered through collective action. What we’ve seen at Flotation Energy proves that when companies invest in cultural change, the results are tangible, human, and inspiring.

Thank you to all involved—this may be the end of the programme, but it’s just the beginning of what’s possible.
