In what was another impactful year globally for the diversity and inclusion movement, +6,000 professionals completed a survey to help us understand the state of play of ED&I across UK and Irish workplaces.
The ED&I Strategy Report highlights the key trends, issues, best practice case studies and strategic advice for companies on how to improve their approach to equality, diversity & inclusion.
Partnering with Censuswide, Walters People and Resource Solutions, we will be releasing separate chapters to provide specific strategic advice on the key topics surrounding ED&I.

A focus on ethnicity ED&I
“Listen to people and encourage dialogue, and act on results not just as a tick box exercise but because it's the right thing to do.”
Ethnicity and cultural diversity remain central to ED&I conversations - but tokenism and the rise of 'woke' culture threaten true equity in the workplace.
Our survey findings highlight the importance of cultural understanding, celebration and representation on the careers of over 6,000 professionals across the UK & Ireland, with actionable advice for employers from BYP Network and Kim Crowder Consulting.
A focus on gender ED&I
A quarter of women didn't receive a pay increase in the last year, compared to 18.8% of males.
The issue of gender imbalance remains at the forefront of the ED&I agenda for Irish employers. But are employers focusing on the right areas?
Our survey findings highlight the impact of motherhood, menopause and mental health on the careers of over 6,000 professionals across the UK & Ireland, with actionable advice for employers from Inclusive Group.
A focus on disability ED&I
45% of professionals with sensory disabilities say they don't have enough access to the resources they need to perform their jobs well.
High-profile conversations around disability & neurodiversity have highlighted the diverse and often hidden workplace challenges faced by those with disabilities.
This report highlights the barriers and burdens faced by professionals with disabilities, from exclusion to the disproportionate impact of the cost-of-living crisis. Insights from Resource Solutions and the Kaleidoscope Group shed light on how employers can tackle these problems.
