Why focus on inclusion?

Focusing on inclusion in the workplace is what leads to innovation and business growth, as it allows businesses to keep ahead, ensuring their products and services are truly reflective of their customers and stakeholders. Secondly, diversity has a variety of tangible business benefits and, as a basic example, increased diversity creates increased capability depth – employees bring their different talents, skills and abilities to expand the scope and strengths of their team.

What does this toolkit aim to do?

Following the formation of the Inclusive Employers Network to support employers in the Bradford District to develop inclusive employment practices, this toolkit was developed with the express purpose of equipping organisations with tools to effectively understand where they are on their inclusion journey, what their ambitions are and how they can deliver inclusion projects within their own organisations.
