Details

Challenge outline: Our people are at the centre of our business, so there is nothing more important to use than attracting and attaining the right talent. We are striving to be a more diverse and inclusive employer. We wish to utilise and engage with our diverse local demographic to promote inclusivity. Specifically we’re looking to improve recruitment of new colleagues that are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Key aims/objectives: 1) Research similar sectors’ equality and inclusivity initiatives and how we compare (sectors not related to the port network) - Speak to 3 similar-sizes businesses and ask what resource they have for inclusion (if not available on their website). Do they employ a staff member that is dedicated to this cause? Do they have a budget for annual events? - Speaking to charities such as Stonewall, what would they suggest we could do? 2) What could we aim to do immediately (i.e. implement within 12 months?) 3) What could we implement in the medium term (i.e. implement within 3 years?)
