Using Facing History in the Workplace, UK
Earlier this month we hosted our first “Facing History at Work” session with our Corporate Partner, Tokio Marine HCC. TMHCC’s staff joined students from St Claudine's Catholic School for Girls for a classroom session, led by the Facing History Programme team, on critical thinking in the workplace.

Afterwards, the students networked with staff from different departments, including London Market, Finance, CSR, IT and HR. This provided a unique opportunity for the students to get an insight into TMHCC as an organisation and learn about the variety of roles involved in the business.
It was really valuable to hear about different routes into the workplace and how transferable different subject areas are when thinking about careers. The two sessions prompted students to think about how the skills they practice in a Facing History classroom can be applied in a professional setting.
“Facing History delivered a thought provoking session that got our employees and the students from St Claudine’s to use their critical thinking skills. We were all impressed with the insightful comments from the students and how engaged they were.”
– Ashley Rice, TMHCC CSR Manager
The TMHCC team are always so enthusiastic and committed to Facing History activities. These events show how important the core skills of emotional awareness, ethical reflection and critical thinking are in the workplace and in our lives outside school and work.
