Simple Change

Statutory reporting on workplace demographics will reveal which groups are under-represented. There are then a number of actions you can take, or initiatives you can develop, to reach out to under-represented groups, such as: having a presence at recruitment events, offering apprenticeships, work placements or wider training opportunities. This will ensure that your organisation reflects the diversity of your community and provides better services for everyone.
