At the outset of developing a diversity and inclusion strategy in your organisation, start by articulating the ‘why’ within your particular organisation and identify the need for, and potential benefits of, a diversity strategy in your workplace.
Our research has shown that organisations with a truly diverse and inclusive culture have implemented diversity and inclusion policies that are both embraced by leadership and developed in consultation with all staff.
It is important that your leadership team works with all staff members to discuss and create a diversity related vision and/ or mission to identify what you want to achieve together.
