Margaret Mead

Your Diversity Health Check 
If you are wondering whether you need to improve your focus on diversity then consider the following questions. If you cannot answer an honest YES to every question then please get in touch and we will help you to achieve full marks.

bullet  Does everyone in your organisation understand the difference between equal opportunities and valuing diversity?

bullet  Do employees know the difference between direct and indirect discrimination?

bullet  Is everyone aware of their own beliefs and possible prejudices and where they originate from?

bullet  Do they know how to stop their beliefs translating into discriminatory practice?

bullet  Does everyone in the organisation understand their responsibilities to ensure effective management of diversity?

bullet  Are your HR policies ‘diversity proofed’ to eliminate any bias or assumptions?

bullet  Does the makeup of your workforce represent the communities in which you are located as a business?

bullet  Do you attract a diverse range of applicants when you advertise jobs?

time. right quote
