Diversity and inclusion

Establishing inclusive workplaces and achieving equality of opportunity for employees is a global business imperative.

Having a strong focus on D&I and wellbeing is critical to helping staff feel safe and engaged, while also helping position the organisation for recovery and growth.

Leveraging our experience in diversity and inclusion (D&I) and cultural change, our team supports organisations to identify and disrupt barriers to inclusion and strengthen inclusive leadership capability.

We do this by developing and embedding impactful, tailored interventions that reflect your organisation’s key business priorities.

Gender Pay Gap and Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) reporting

In 2024, WGEA began publishing individual GPG data for all employers with more than 100 employees. In this video, we explore what this means for employers and the actions they need to take to see meaningful change in their gender pay gap.

Key considerations

1.

Are you deriving actionable insights from your D&I and culture data to develop an evidence-based approach?

2.

Is a D&I lens applied to business processes?

3.

Is your D&I strategy aligned to your organisational strategy and good practice guidance?

4.

Are there systemic barriers preventing you from realising the benefits of flexible working and from accessing top talent?

5.

Do senior leaders understand why D&I is important and are they equipped with the necessary skills to lead inclusively?

6.

Have you identified and taken steps to mitigate key risks relating to D&I, ER, mental health and wellbeing?
