KEY TAKEAWAYS Citizenship privilege can have a significant impact on individuals' ability to travel and access certain benefits and services. It can enable freedom of movement and ease of travel, but it can also create barriers and limitations for those without certain citizenship privileges. Brexit has brought attention to the privilege of having citizenship and the potential challenges and uncertainties it can create. Some British citizens have sought citizenship in multiple countries to maintain flexibility and protect themselves from the consequences of Brexit. The impact of citizenship privilege extends to the workplace. Access to the best talent, mobility of staff, and cost-effectiveness in transferring employees between countries can be influenced by citizenship privileges. Stewarding citizenship privilege in the workplace can lead to increased diversity, different skills and experiences, and overall organizational and economic benefits. Fear and misconceptions often surround citizenship privilege, such as concerns about cultural dilution, access to basic services, and job competition. These fears can contribute to hostility and misunderstandings between different groups of people. The process of gaining citizenship can be challenging and costly, creating barriers for individuals who wish to obtain citizenship privileges. The UK, in particular, has been noted as one of the countries with more stringent requirements for citizenship. Opening up more opportunities for legal application and reducing financial barriers could help individuals gain citizenship privilege. BEST MOMENTS "I've always sort of had that privilege of being from here, not having to worry about whether I need to pay extra to be here or to fight for my spot."  "There are privileges we have around the benefits we have access to… So they can't even come here unless they've already got the visa."  "So, maybe the UK could do more to at least open up the opportunity to apply in a legal way… People might get rejected, but at least they can apply."  "I think the main thing that people fear is their culture will be diluted and overtaken… their way of life will be affected by different cultures coming in and having different wants and needs."  "Diversity isn't just about making sure that everyone is like, 'we've got people from this background, this from that background', it's looking into 'why', it's looking into the different experiences that these people have from these different backgrounds."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Privilege Survey  https://intelligentlinking261447.typeform.com/to/SNkQvD0v Website: https://privilege-eruption.com Email: [email protected] Useful links: https://linktr.ee/BelongingPioneers ABOUT THE HOSTS Ishreen Bradley, a Strategic Pioneer, excels in guiding Professional Leaders through complex challenges with clarity, confidence, and courage.
