This report explores how inclusion leads to strategic success and encourages companies to introduce objectives to address inclusion within the workplace.
For many organisations, diversity reporting was the driver and door opener to start paying attention to opportunities to increase awareness and action regarding less represented communities. With evolving political movements, such as recent Black Lives Matter activity, stakeholders are now more interested in this area than ever before. But this reporting focuses largely on diversity, rather than inclusion. It is important that inclusion is at the forefront of the future of work too.
This report delves into the common gaps and circumstances that organisations can face and suggest focus areas to aid the journey of inclusion maturity, no matter where the starting point is. Many themes are explored such as: the drive to become a more inclusive organisation, the barriers to inclusive progress and the ‘myths’ that can propagate resistance to inclusive change.
