Policy bundles
Our two progressive policy bundles are designed to help you swiftly and effectively implement new Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) policies. They demonstrate commitment to supporting employees in aspects that may impact their well-being at work.
Off-the-shelf EDI policies
Our off-the-shelf EDI policies offer best practices and compliance with industry standards. These ready-to-integrate policies cover crucial areas such as menopause, gender transition, pregnancy loss, domestic abuse, and 15 additional topics. Easily incorporate these policies into your existing framework to enhance workplace inclusivity and support.
Tailored EDI policies
For a more personalised approach, our tailored EDI policy bundle can be customised to reflect your brand and tone of voice. Delivered ready to use, these policies streamline the implementation process, ensuring compliance and quick adoption of new EDI standards within your organisation.
Policy reviews
Demonstrating true inclusivity in your organisation goes beyond simply having EDI policies in place. It’s essential to thoroughly evaluate all of your people policies to ensure they consistently reflect and uphold your core values.
Addressing gender-specific policies
Traditionally gender-specific policies, such as maternity and paternity leave, may use pronouns that exclude individuals who do not identify with traditional gender binaries.
Expert people policy review
Our experts will review your current policy set to identify where EDI updates are required. They will provide professionally marked-up edits, making it quick and easy for you to review and update all of your people policies.
Our consultants will also pinpoint any gaps in your policy set and offer recommendations on how to enhance your EDI credentials with new, progressive policies.
Learning and development
For your Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives to be successful, they must be clearly communicated and understood by leaders, line managers, and employees throughout your organisation. Training is crucial.
Digital EDI courses
Our highly regarded digital learning courses are designed to embed a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion within your organisation. These courses ensure that employees at all levels are engaged and understand their role in supporting EDI initiatives.
Tailored EDI coaching services
We offer a range of coaching services tailored to meet the specific needs of your organisation. Our coaching provides practical, real-world guidance for line managers and employees, helping them to effectively contribute to EDI efforts.
