Equality and Diversity have long been important dimensions for all organisations but following the economic crash in 2008 many organisations faced other pressing priorities – Equality Diversity and Inclusion took a back seat.
In 2017 the 2006 “me too” movement went viral, interest on other similar movements gained momentum and sexual harassment hot the headlines all of this has led to Equality Diversity coupled with Inclusion becoming, once again, a key consideration for all organisations.
The following underlying developments all being pivotal
- Transgender =Trans vocabulary
- Sexual Harassment
- Menopause
- WOKE Agenda
- Andrew Tate
- Misogyny
- Neurodiversity
It is important that all organisations revisit their approach to EDI (E&D) to make sure it reflects the latest developments and legislation (Workers Protection Bill – amendment to the equalities act ?)
Hardly a day goes by without one organisation or another hitting the headlines for EDI related issues.
