Diversity and inclusion in the workplace

The focus on diversity and inclusion has been growing in Ireland and globally. Individuals with different experiences and attitudes bring varied perspectives and ideas to the organisation and collectively can create superior organisational outcomes. This range of experiences and approaches can be integrated into the company strategy to meet the needs of employees and customers alike.

The focus is not on assimilating differences into the culture but rather harnessing workforce diversity and this is a business strategy which not only yields individual engagement and performance benefits but also assists organisations in improving their bottom line, innovation and decision-making.

Ibec support our members in developing competence in this area through the profiling of the importance of the work, facilitating the sharing and practice of ideas, and developing services and resources.
