Inclusion
Creating a diverse workforce can help with employee retention and satisfaction. It increases performance and enables innovation to thrive.
Providing an opportunity for everyone to achieve their true potential regardless of differences such as age, disability, race, religion, gender amongst others, is key to innovation, problem-solving and increased productivity.
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
As an economy, the sobering reality is that only 5.9 % of people with SEND are in employment. Employers have an opportunity to change this. We need to challenge the statistics and encourage all young people into the workplace.
It may seem challenging, but experience shows that working with young people with SEND can be a positive and heartwarming experience, and a way to find an incredible amount of talent and creativity.

Working with a Diverse Community
Meaningful employment is the most important way that you, as employers, contribute to the community.
Offering virtual work experience of your workplace can break down the barriers that many people from diverse backgrounds face. We need to challenge perceptions and strive for an equal workforce that promotes social mobility, diversity and inclusion. Businesses can benefit from this too as it bridges the skills gap and builds a new talent pool.
