Diversity and inclusion are paramount to welcoming your employees
Diversity and inclusion are paramount to welcoming your employees
If your business doesn’t already have a diversity and inclusion statement for your business, you should. Like mission and vision statements, a D&I statement provides a guiding principle for your business to aspire to. When you define your commitment to diversity and inclusion, it directs the company to achieve.
What is a D&I statement?
Diversity and inclusion statements can be short and sweet or long and in-depth. They translate your values and demonstrate your pledge to an inclusive and varied workplace. Your D&I statement shouldn’t be just a section on your website (although it should be prominently displayed there), or a subheading in your annual report. It should be core to the direction of the organization.
Glassdoor found almost 70% of job seekers consider a diverse workplace an important factor when considering employment.
