We are Solutions
Diversity and Inclusion
We understand the importance of diversity within the work force, and we try to make this a reality with every Assignment that we are given. We are able to advise our clients on inclusive practices, underpinning HR principles and guidance on how to make incremental changes in organisational culture to truly live by these values….
Diversity is more crucial than ever in the modern workplace, as the millennial generation not only begin to dominate the work environment, but the target audience as well. As a remarkably diverse generation, they not only enjoy, but expect such diversity, and any organization needs the range of opinions and understanding that diversity brings to effectively understand their audience now and into the future.
With a multitude of cultures and outlooks, innovation is enhanced too, providing a tangible benefit to any business beyond employee wellbeing and brand image.
However, a diverse workplace does not happen by accident, it is the role of professional HR to encourage diversity at every level of the business, not just in the recruitment process, but in the workplace culture and environment.
Beginning with recruitment, we ensure that at every stage of the process, there is complete transparency and no discrimination. We encourage diverse applicants, however that never comes at the cost of identifying the right candidate for a position. We promote methodology that ensures candidates of all ethnicities, gender and sexuality are given an equal opportunity as candidates.
We can also help create the inclusive, welcoming work environment that encourages individuals, ensuring that everyone received the respect and encouragement they deserve. From conflict resolution to diversity training, we can help initiate programs that provide your team with the tools they need to operate within and maintain an inclusive environment.
Finally, initial recruitment is only part of the way we promote diversity within an organisation at every level. Some make the mistake of thinking a couple of new hires is enough and the rest will take care of itself. However, this is usually not the case, diversity within the workplace is a continuios process and this involves monitoring and improvements.
Part of this is encouraging diverse employees to take on new responsibilities and apply for new opportunities within the company as they appear. Without encouragement, many are reluctant to apply for promotions or other opportunities, it is crucial to create an encouraging environment where they understand that the outcomes are based on merit, with equal opportunity for all.
At We-are-HR, we operated an inclusive work environment ourselves, and have done since our launch in 2016. With a female founder and a diverse team, we practice what we teach, and we are well placed to help any organisation understand and adapt to a more inclusive approach to all aspects of HR and L&D activities.
Let us help to create a diverse work force with your organization.
