Being inclusive makes business sense. But until now it has been hard to identify the best employers when it comes to diversity, equality and inclusion.
This long-awaited league table of the most inclusive employers in the UK finally shines a light on best practice across all strands of diversity – age, disability, gender, LGBT, race, faith and religion.
So why is this so important? Well, research shows that more diverse organisations perform better and they are also better places to work. However, until now it has been very difficult to identify which organisations put inclusivity at the heart of their business.
Compiled by a dedicated panel of Diversity & Inclusion professionals, the list will be collated based on each organisation’s performance across a range of areas within the diversity arena.
In difficult and challenging times, using the talent of a diverse workforce is more important than ever. Considering the diversity of your workforce and fostering an inclusive working environment can bring business benefits and provide a market advantage. This tough climate has led us to take a fresh look at how we can promote employers that lead in their business case for diversity.
Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers will engage with UK corporations and organisations across all sectors to highlight the benefits from the growth of diverse employees, and recognise those that invest massively in this ethos.
Powered by Inclusive Companies, The Inclusive Top 50 Employers is a definitive list focusing on representation at management, senior, executive and board level, as well as inclusive cultures at work and within communities.
Participating organisations will gain access to the Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List survey, which contains a number of key diversity related questions and will have to provide sufficient evidence of their inclusivity practices in areas such a recruitment procedures, training and a host of diversity related interventions.
Highlighting inclusive organisations across Charity, Education, Housing, Private and Public, The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List will be officially revealed at the annual Inclusive Awards Ceremony, with all successful organisations taking away the official Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers plaque.
The need for The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List is evident; it is necessary that we demonstrate businesses that have reaped real benefits and why, and encourage other companies to prosper by thriving with a diverse and flexible workforce.
