The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Network is pleased to announce its latest best practice group on exploring the business case for Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
Often EDI is seen as something that organisations are forced to do because of the law or, more positively, that they do because of their values.
Whilst these can be good reason for improving EDI practice, actually improving EDI because it makes good business sense can be the best motivator of all, as seen in some private sector organisations who are good models of EDI. It can also help to persuade people to integrate EDI with other business activities and strategies, rather than seeing it as an optional add-on.
The BPG will explore the business case, and what the implications are of using it.
Why you should come to the best practice group:
- Great way to find out what others are doing
- Good, honest and open discussions
- Sharing best practice and ideas with others in similar roles
- Acts as a sense-check about what people are doing or thinking of doing.
We also want to hear from members about what is challenging you currently and what your priorities are. Have you any initiatives you are particularly proud of? Please let us know in advance of any subjects you’d like to discuss.
