National Inclusion Week

National Inclusion Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of the importance of inclusion in the workplace and the business benefits to having a diverse and included workforce.

Who celebrates?

Everyone – it’s a global awareness week!

How do people celebrate?

• People and organisations raise awareness of why inclusion is important to them
• Organisations also share their plans to ensure that everyone feels included internally and externally
• Each year has a theme – keep an eye on this page for this year’s theme.

What should I know?

• Inclusion is about making sure that people feel valued, respected, listened to and able to challenge exclusion
• Organisations committed to inclusion are 47% more engaged (Deloitte 2013)
• Inclusive leaders have teams who are higher performing, make better decisions and are more collaborative (Harvard 2019).

How can I support others?

• Use the additional resources to learn inclusion and how it is the key to diversity
• Talk to your team about what makes you feel included
• Take time to understand your organisations diversity and inclusion plans and consider your role within them
• Talk to your team about your team action plan and how implementing it more inclusively will help ensure you reach the diversity of people who need you.
