Diversity and Inclusion
The government is piling more and more pressure on employers to not only prove that they’ve put measures in place to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace when an incident occurs (like a case of sexual harassment), but also to show they’ve got proactive measures in place to prevent these incidents ever happening.
Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is one of the hottest topics in the workplace right now, and that’s why with International Women’s Day just around the corner we wanted to share this free guide to help your members grasp the secret to improving EDI in their workplace.
The business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is stronger than ever. Taking a closer look at diversity winners reveals what can drive real progress. Promoting and supporting diversity in the workplace is an important aspect of good people management - it’s about valuing everyone in the organisation as an individual. However, to reap the benefits of a diverse workforce it’s vital to have an inclusive environment where everyone feels able to participate and achieve their potential. While UK legislation – covering age, disability, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation among others – sets minimum standards, an effective inclusion and diversity strategy goes beyond legal compliance and seeks to add value to an organisation, contributing to employee wellbeing and engagement.
