In Diverse Company

Thank you to all the participants for joining our Group Coaching and Action Planning session yesterday. The session was a part of the WIN Inclusive Employer Implementation Support Programme with the Greater London Authority. Starting with the Hospitality sector, we had insightful discussions about the diversity challenges that participants were facing in their organisations. The conversations encouraged the participants to share their personal experiences with inclusion, supporting our much-needed initiative for London’s labour market. This was followed by in-depth discussions with the Digital sector participants concluding with them identifying their key focus areas for the following sessions. Johanna Beresford (CEO, In Diverse Company) facilitated both the sessions, providing expert opinion and suggestions to the participants. We are conducting a session for the Green economy sector on the 27th of February in-person at City Hall, London and also online. Don’t miss out on the chance to attend this FREE session and form your organisation’s actionable strategy! Phyllis Abebreseh Amin A.

Did you know that about 15% of NHS employees faced bullying, harassment or abuse from colleagues with a disproportionate impact on Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff? Race inequality in the workplace stands as a major reason for exclusion, reducing morale and productivity. That’s why Race Equality Week 2025 is championing the theme #EveryActionCounts, emphasising that real change happens when individuals at all levels take meaningful action. Observed from 3rd to 9th February this year, it focuses on bringing about real change no matter how small or does not depend on how much power or influence a person has. It is all about collaborating with your peers to understand the most effective action to create an inclusive working environment.  At In Diverse Company, we are committed to this cause through our partnership with the Greater London Authority on the WIN Inclusive Employer Toolkits. Our work supports organisations in embedding inclusion into workplace culture, ensuring that all employees regardless of their background can thrive.

Did you know that around 20% of children in the UK lack access to basic digital requirements like devices, broadband and digital literacy skills? The persistent digital divide in the UK is showcased by the fact that around 2.5 million people in the UK still lack the ability to execute even the most basic digital tasks. This systemic digital exclusion affects people in terms of missing out on employment opportunities, healthcare, education, often leading to financial problems as well. On this International Day of Education, we at In Diverse Company are dedicated to breaking down barriers in tech education and careers. We want to make sure that people from all backgrounds have access to this rapidly growing digital sector and what it has to offer. Let’s transform opportunities to make digital education accessible and equitable!
