DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION RESOURCE CENTRE
Throughout the year, we have the privilege of observing various Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) events. Such occasions include Pride Month, National Inclusion Week, World Menopause Day, International Women’s Day and International Men’s Day.
To support the principles in which these important dates are founded of acceptance, equality, and respect for all individuals, we have created this resource to explore the latest trends in inclusion through a gender lens; what it means in the context of hybrid working; why we all need to be aware of intersectionality; why there needs to be a focus on the mental health of ALL employees; and why proactive allyship is an important part of the solution.
While some of the resources below are for our global community of everywomanNetwork members, many more are free to access. We welcome browsing from individuals and organisations – and should you wish to find our more about joining the everywoman community and unlocking all our learning and development resources, please visit the membership options page to learn more.
So, let us continue to champion diversity, equity and inclusion, not only during designated DEI days but every day, as we work towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
