Employer best practice

Lee Elliot Major and Anne-Marie Sim regularly speak to employers interested in developing their approach to socioeconomic diversity and inclusion, and social mobility. To learn more, contact us here.

Class is diversity’s missing dimension.

A social mobility focus brings clear business benefits

1

Strong evidence that diverse teams lead to better performance – but key is diversity of thought

2

Fishing from a wider talent pool is increasingly important in a tight labour market

3

Being an anchor for local workforce development is an opportunity to future proof your business

4

Building an inclusive workplace leads to higher rates of staff retention & a more motivated workforce

5

Signalling purpose to clients & potential employees is an opportunity for competitive advantage

We are working with a number of organisations in the South West and nationally to share best practice to improve socioeconomic diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
