An Introduction to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Foster Diversity is pleased to deliver an introduction to equality, diversity and inclusion(EDI).

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) are essential to business success. Organisations are incorporating it into the workplace as an important aspect of business strategy because it can make it more successful from a workforce, reputation, financial and legal perspective.

We believe in empowering people with the fundamental knowledge to; create an engaged workforce, uphold EDI practices and behaviours in the workplace, extend those practices to policies and procedures, and create an inclusive workplace culture where individuals can thrive, participate, and enhance reputation management and profitability.
