Diversity, equality, equity and inclusion

Treating everyone in the organisation as an individual, and valuing the unique contribution they can bring, is a critical part of organisational culture. We have brought together our resources on diversity and inclusion from across the site in our new Diversity and inclusion Toolkit 

• By incorporating the promotion and support of diversity and inclusivity throughout the organisation, from recruitment all the way to post termination of the employment relationship, employers can reap the many benefits that a diverse organisation can bring, by empowering individuals to participate fully in their work and with their colleagues and enabling them to reach their full potential.   
• Employers are already bound by the minimum standards enshrined in UK legislation, including age, disability, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation among others.
• Employers, however, are encouraged to go one step further, by creating an effective inclusion and diversity strategy building on and going beyond mere compliance with the law, adding value to the organisation and contributing to employee wellbeing and engagement.
