National Inclusion Week launched twelve years ago to highlight and engage with workplace inclusion. What began as a small event has grown exponentially, with over 9,000 people participating last year and reaching 28.1 million on social media during September 2023. Each year, more organisations take action to make inclusion an everyday reality at work.
Why Take Part?
National Inclusion Week is an excellent opportunity to focus on inclusion, allowing everyone in your organisation to get involved. Whether through your own events or by utilising the available resources, participating in National Inclusion Week offers numerous benefits:
Demonstrate Commitment: Show your staff, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders that you are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment.
Platform for Discussions: Use this week as a starting point for discussions around inclusion and diversity within your organisation.
Launch Initiatives: Showcase your year-round inclusion efforts or launch new initiatives during this time.
Customisable Approach: Tailor National Inclusion Week to fit your organisation’s needs and objectives.
Networking and Learning: Participate in events that provide opportunities for inclusion and diversity enthusiasts and professionals to connect, share best practices, and learn something new.
Every year, National Inclusion Week features a theme designed to focus on key aspects of inclusion and diversity. This year’s theme is…
‘Impact Matters’ – stylised as #ImpactMatters on social media.
The theme “Impact Matters” underscores the importance of making tangible changes that positively affect the workplace. It encourages organisations to focus on the real-world impact of their inclusion and diversity efforts, ensuring that these initiatives lead to meaningful and lasting improvements.
