Investors In Diversity
This is a new standard which helps organisations adopt and develop a set of characteristics and behaviours, which if embraced, can lead to real and sustainable gains through culture movement.
Why Diversity Matters Actively valuing diversity and managing inclusion enables organisations to consistently deliver more to more of their customers/clients more of the time, by helping more of their people to be more engaged with their work more of the time.
Diversity matters because:
- A diversity of perception, thinking and approaches - adds value to organisations.
- It is morally right, socially desirable and economically sensible to combat discrimination, promote equal opportunity and value difference
Differences between us give us a unique range of attributes and characteristics and a distinctive view of the world.
By recognising diversity and maximising the diversity of staff, the organisation can become more successful. The starting point is to recognise the value of, and then actively seek to benefit from, the diversity of the staff team.- It is an exciting and fresh approach to talent management
- proactively promotes the ‘inner well being’ and ‘health’ of organisations
- encourages organisations to continuously learn through self
- encourages every individual to develop their own awareness as well as to raise other peoples awareness on issues related to diversity
- enables organisations to set themselves challenges in terms of recruitment and retention
- sets organisations challenges in how they monitor the impact of how well they manage diversity
- provides an accreditation to organisations who can receive recognition for good and best practice
Equality in the context of managing diversity means treating each persons needs, with an equal amount of respect and attention.
