Inclusive hiring practices and equal opportunities not only give businesses access to a wider talent pool but also empower marginalised groups, helping to reduce social inequalities." By championing diversity, equity and inclusion, businesses have the power to become agents of positive change in an uncertain time, write John McNamara FCA and Conor Hudson, FCA.

Organizations have been missing the mark with their DEI programs. Listen to this video and learn the what, why and how with regard to DEIB.

I can't help but think Esther McVey, the Government's "Minister of Common Sense", is displaying anything but. Reducing the EDI agenda to what is statutorily required will take away many of its (well evidenced) benefits. Good work on #equality, #diversity and #inclusion extends way beyond the Equality Act 2010 and into creating high performing organisations that are truly welcoming places to work. Not just ones that don't discriminate. Whatever next? Telling organisations they should stop caring about #engagement or #wellbeing? 🙄 At Culture Consultancy we work with organisations that care about their attraction, retention and productivity and appreciate how #equality, #diversity and #inclusion can help these crucial business outcomes. I've written a blog to help such organisations start, or accelerate, their journey - see the link in the comments #PsychologicalSafety #WorkplaceWellbeing #CultureOfCare #MentalHealthMatters #UKMentalHealthWeek #CultureConsultancy #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #DEI #WellbeingAtWork

Not sure where to start with #neuroinclusivity at work? You’re not alone. According to research by Birkbeck University’s Centre for Neurodiversity at Work, 92% of organisations reported having an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy - but only 22% reported that this included a focus on neurodivergence. This month, we’re going to take a look at how organisations can (and should!) consider #neurodivergence among their employees at every stage, from recruitment right through to retention. Stay tuned!

Don't let your organization fall into the trap of focusing solely on diversity numbers and equitable policies. Let us guide you in fostering a culture of true #inclusion and #belonging, where #diversity thrives and every team member feels essential.

We have just published our annual GM Equality Alliance Evaluation Report - and it is a good one, I am amazed at how much has been achieved in 1 year! The focus of the alliance is to: To ensure equality, diversity and inclusion are at the forefront of decision making at the highest levels in all governance structures across the Greater Manchester sub- region. To ensure transformational change in the way that issues are considered, information collected and acted upon, and to be led by the expertise coming from communities and grassroots organisations.  https://lnkd.in/e4qkj6Bd

Practice of EQUITY at workplace Difference between Equity and Equality. Equality involves treating all employees the same way. Equity involves tailoring strategies to address the specific barriers and needs of different groups. Ensure that everyone is provided specific resources they need to be successful at workplace.

Labour are putting diversity at the heart of their new government - what are the implications for business? Labour's recent emphasis on diversity within the new government signals a significant shift in policy focus. This move is set to influence forthcoming business regulations, promoting inclusivity and equitable practices across industries. For forward-thinking companies, now is the time to proactively address these anticipated changes. Conducting a comprehensive workplace equity audit through platforms like Lead5050's EquityIQ ensures that all policies and procedures are not only compliant but also reflect best practices in diversity and inclusion. Staying ahead of the curve will not only mitigate risk but also foster a more dynamic and innovative workplace. Smart companies will seize this opportunity to align with Labour’s vision, ensuring their operations are both equitable and competitive in this evolving landscape. #DiversityMatters #InclusiveWorkplace #FutureReadyBusiness
