DIVERSITY
TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE
WORKFORCE: Fostering a culture of authenticity, inclusiveness and well-being
The emphasis on fostering an inclusive workplace culture has never been greater as organisations pursue talent objectives and moral imperatives. Dr Sue Shortland reports on actions to improve diversity and inclusion at work.
T
raditionally, organisations have focused their efforts on legal requirements to ensure that discrimination – whether it is direct or indirect – does not occur in the
workplace. We have had equal opportunities legislation in the UK since the 1970s but there are still examples today of cases being pursued to ensure, for example, equal pay for work of equal value. The difference between the earnings of men and women has generated much press attention. Yet, since the publication of gender pay gap figures, there has been some progress made in reducing the difference between men’s and women’s pay. So publication of the shortcomings of businesses is helping to make real change in improving the working lives of minorities. Talks are now taking place involving the HR professional body, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and government regarding tackling the ethnicity pay gap. Potentially we may see requirements for businesses to publish and address these figures in the future.
