Guide shows how to achieve an inclusive diversity strategy
Roffey Park has launched a new guide to diversity and equality, designed to help organisations implement a diversity strategy that is long-term and linked to business objectives. The guide reflects the growing recognition that shifting demographics, increasing legislation and the need to attract talented applicants from a wide pool, all mean that diversity is a core business objective.
The guide draws on new research from Roffey Park, the UK’s longest established executive education provider, and interviews with eight cross-sector organisations, including AOL, Ford, Crown Prosecution Service and Royal Mail, to provide varied organisational insights into creating and implementing strategies that are sustainable, future focused and linked to business objectives.
The guide discusses key points, such as developing a shared vision, taking a strategic approach, sharing ownership, and changing behaviour through learning and development. From ‘Getting Started’ to ‘Measurement and Evaluation’, the guide provides practical advice, organisational examples and checklists, allowing readers to identify relevant points and tailor the content to their organisation.
The research illustrates that successful strategies are clearly linked to business objectives and mainstreamed into all organisational processes and people procedures, making diversity and equality part and parcel of everyday management. The guide places particular emphasis on the importance of senior-level leadership, involvement and support, and suggests that diversity should become a part of leadership development.
Diversity and Equality: Implementing successful strategies is available to purchase from Roffey Park priced £20
