Tools & Resources
Key learnings
- Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is a collection of terms used to describe fair treatment and equal opportunities, engaging with individuals from a variety of backgrounds who have diverse experiences and perspectives, and creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and heard.
- You should consider EDI when thinking about all your main stakeholder groups and in any area of your business that involves people including recruitment and HR, marketing and operations.
- You should always comply with the Equality Act 2010 and get support from specialists on anything you’re unsure about – for example you can contact Croner’s helpline for employment advice and the ASA for advertising.
With rapidly evolving social attitudes, terms and legislation, keeping up to date with what you should be doing to keep all your stakeholders feeling safe, respected and included is a challenge every business faces. In this article, we introduce some key terms, highlight the areas of your business that are influenced, and outline some areas to think about when developing or improving your equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) practices.
