Workforce equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives explore core issues driving diversity and inclusion strategy, from changing demographics to unconscious bias in the workplace, visible leadership commitment, and accountability for results. It's essential that organisations hold up a mirror to themselves, where transparency and accountability for improvements are clear. Diversity and inclusion initiatives should be ensuring the organsaition has a fully inclusive workplace, one where employees feel valued, opportunities are available for all and diversity is celebrated. As such, effective diversity and inclusion initiatives are less about complying with law and legislation and more about leading change, improvement initiatives, engaging, motivating, and improving the potential of all staff. 'Think Outside The Box - Leading Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace' provides an up-to-date source of diversity and inclusion best practice for workplace leaders. It gets to the heart of the diversity issues facing the UK workforce with clear strategies and practical guidance to creating a fully inclusive workplace. The book explores the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty, the Protected Characteristics as well as offering a wide range of practical strategies to support tangible change in organisations. Author - John Duncan - is Fellow of the Institute of Equality and Diversity Professionals (IEDPF), a diversity and inclusion specialist leading on strategy and policy development with over 15 years substantial experience of providing advice, support and training within the Education and Healthcare sectors.
