In this category we consider projects to improve diversity in the workforce, and those that make products and services more accessible.
Diversity is a subject that should be at the forefront of every modern company鈥檚 recruitment strategy and should not be considered as simply an exercise in virtue signaling.
The more diverse a workforce, the more representative it is of wider society, which brings clear benefits to any corporation attempting to gain greater insight into the views of its customer base. In addition, more diverse companies have greater appeal to candidates in the jobs market, increasing a company鈥檚 chances of hiring the best talent.
Project Examples
- Hiring policies
- Graduate and apprenticeship schemes
- Work groups and societies
- Training schemes (e.g., unconscious bias)
- Community initiatives
- Support for diversity focused charities
- Fund raising
- Accessibility projects
- Inclusive product and service design
