Employee Networks are critical to delivering your organisation's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion priorities.

Inclusion 365 offers expert support, guidance and training to ensure your networks have the right structure, framework and resources in place to deliver value to members and your organization, and achieve measurable outcomes. From initial setup to long-term sustainability, we work collaboratively with your Employee Networks, Sponsors and HR teams to support the development of effective Employee Networks that drive positive change for all stakeholders and support the delivery of your organisation’s DE&I priorities.

The benefits of Employee Networks if set up in the right way and with proper structure, senior sponsorship and ways of working can help your employer:

🧲 Improve its ability to attract talent from underrepresented groups through providing insight in improving hiring policies and processes and being actively involved with your talent attraction strategies helping your organisation to tap into a much wider talent pool and addressing bias at each stage of the hiring process

💼 Provide career development opportunities for Employee Networks, helping them progress into leadership roles and providing opportunities for mentorship

🫶 Creates a safe space for employees to share their experiences of barriers in the workplace and shape future decisions and policies that help your organisation to better support a more diverse workforce to thrive and retain talent

🗣️Employee Networks can provide valuable insight into the needs of consumer groups and help you develop products and services that better resonate and respond to different consumer groups' needs. Tesco is an example of this where they gathered insights from their staff network to develop plasters that better match different skin tones of customers
