Engage with Inclusion
The Inclusive Employers Standard gives you a tool to assess how inclusive your organisation is, from top to bottom and cross department.
We use the six pillars of inclusion: Engage; Equip; Empower; Embed; Evaluate and Evolve, to assess the breadth of employment activity across all strands of inclusion.
