Getting more for your money

In addition to the difficult economic circumstances, many of our clients have been describing to us the challenge of securing skilled and experienced Equality and Diversity practitioners who can deliver a challenging equality and diversity agenda within tight budget constraints. 

The E&D role can be a complex one, and the practitioner needs to:

  • Influence and negotiate at strategic level with internal and external stakeholders
  • Apply high level analysis skills to monitoring data and prioritise often competing areas for action
  • Coach and support managers and staff to deal with issues of professional conduct, harassment and discrimination
  • Engage a broad range of stakeholders through the consultation process
At the same time practitioners need to maintain a high level of knowledge about contemporary E&D legislation, industry focussed regulation and a sound understanding of the business operations.
We are aware that for some organisations it may be difficult to maintain an internal E&D specialism at this level, but the E&D work commitments still need to be undertaken effectively.
At Equality Works we have developed a series of support packages for clients in this situation. While we can, for example, provide professional supervision to your internal E&D team, our ability to deliver a complete Equality and Diversity Service will provide a significantly greater return than a similar internal investment in a single role or small team.
