Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The GBC requires organisations to evidence how they analyse and monitor their EDI data against a baseline, using it to address disadvantage and discrimination.
Why Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Matter
A diverse, equal and inclusive culture is imperative for a business to continue to thrive because it puts its people at the heart of its operation. When people feel valued and included, they are more likely to flourish at work. More diverse teams lead to better business outcomes.
A more diverse workforce and inclusive workplace therefore improves customer orientation and service, innovation, productivity, profitability, morale and staff retention. It requires substantive measures to improve diversity, and data is an important factor against which to measure progress.
