Diversity and inclusion

To improve diversity and inclusion, applicants require support in preparation before and during employment. We can provide programmes and initiatives to improve diversity and inclusion and provide additional coaching and learning support to your new trainees, apprentices or hires.

Our team supports employers with engagement, recruitment, retention and progression of people with lived experience in their workforce. It is widely becoming recognised that for businesses to propser, they need a diverse and representative workforce. Employers are struggling to engage and retain high quality talent. Our programmes support with early engagement activities and enables organisations to ‘grow your own’ workforce by tapping into early talent and developing them into future leaders.

There are sometimes systemic barriers to progression for disadvantaged groups and some of this stems from a lack of awareness across the wider population and a lack of knowledge of how to connect with confidence. Our team supports employers through:

  • In-depth training about the communities we work with. We recommend that employers take a whole organisation approach to achieve system buy-in and collective understanding of the communities we support. The training should include but is not limited to the following key staff – leadership, Workforce Leads, Training Lead, HR, Diversity and Inclusion Lead and other key on and off-site employees.
  • Review of a company’s existing HR policies and processes, which may present diverse communities from applying to opportunities.
  • A workforce development plan to improve diversity across the organisation.
  • Ongoing virtual support and training from our team, as the employer develops their workforce plan and embeds the strategy across the organisation.
