Business Benefits
"Closing Gaps By Creating Stable Bridges to Equality’
There are great benefits for all companies.
- Equitableness is a step in the right direction for the current times, it is a quality that has the potential to favour a business, its employees and customers in many ways.
- A broader spectrum of employees with varying backgrounds provides a greater diverse understanding of business. It also adds value for stakeholders and customers and attracts a more diverse business, providing more insight and confidence to those customers that may have shied away from a business due to a lack of perception. Evidently a customer or stakeholder that has a disability or is part of the BAME community would become more willing to do business with a company that respects and incorporates minorities.
- We work with the human resources departments, peers and colleagues whom are working directly alongside minorities to ensure all are educated and aware of subconscious biases and the various types of discrimination. Overall, this is a significant way to prevent discrimination and protect the companies policies and individual/ employees.
- Businesses often become introverted from employing gender-specific roles, as they are concerned about indirectly breaching discrimination laws regarding protected characteristics. However, this is incorrect. Companies are legally allowed to employ minorities, The Equality Act 2010 statutes reiterates this. The Act references people with protected characteristics that suffer a disadvantage, have different needs than other employees or have disproportionately low levels of participation in an activity. If an employer’s intention is good, then they can take the proportionate steps to remedy that disadvantage, providing for those needs and boost participation.
- We work with legal support in the employment recruitment process to ensure that there are no legal breaches and that we are only working with employers in good faith. We take pride in protecting every party involved to create a mutual beneficial venture.
- Involvement in and commitment to diversity shows that companies are willing to adapt to the ongoing changing world and its markets.
- Employing a variety of people with minority background provides more opportunities for diverse accomplishments.It is also inspirational to the employees and job seekers and sets a tone for other companies and industries.
- Every company that is willing to join is a step closer to making a difference and helping to facilitate the transformation to a fairer and more balanced future.
- Our prices for recruitment and consultancy are fair and contribute to our charity that educates workers and young adults which in-turn has a future to protect against workplace discrimination
