DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION FAQs

DE&I stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Diversity focuses on and celebrates the differences between people e.g. gender, background, age or how we think.

Equity refers to fair and just practices and policies that ensure all employees can thrive. However, this is different to equality as it implies treating everyone as if their experiences are the same.

Inclusion is the act of welcoming diversity, creating an environment where everyone can thrive and succeed.

Hays have been partnering with clients to build diversity and inclusion-led workforce strategies for over 20 years.

Driven by a desire to do the right thing, solve skills shortages and empower the workforce of tomorrow, we’ve evolved over the years to consider DE&I more holistically. We support organizations of all sizes, in a range of sectors, from C-suite level training and strategy development, to executing on those strategies and delivering diverse and inclusive hiring programs.

Several factors have contributed to increased activity in DE&I. Recent tragedies in LGBTQ+, Black and Asian communities have fuelled growing concern from employees regarding a lack of real action from leaders.

An evolving market and persistent skills shortages are also encouraging organizations to think beyond traditional sourcing and attraction strategies. There is a need to engage the widest possible talent network to meet an ever-growing demand for critical skills, promote innovation and outperform competitors.
