Diversity & Inclusion

Organisations have so much to benefit from attracting a diverse workforce and making their workplaces safe and productive. Increasingly, the best talent in the market are choosing to work for businesses who build an inclusive culture where they can bring their best contribution.

Clients, regulators, suppliers and staff are changing their requirements and expect organisations to adopt ESG. Investing in knowledge and advice can help you adhere to regulatory requirements, become a destination for the best people, facilitate growth, avoid discrimination and build an engaged workforce.

There are already mandatory reporting requirements for businesses of a certain size to track and disclose elements like gender pay gap, but we are now also seeing regulators like the FCA broadening these requirements. More can be expected in the future.

We are passionate about our colleagues and are constantly striving to improve our own experience here at Irwin Mitchell and we bring that, together with our legal expertise, to help you and your business get the best out of your team. Our suite of services can help you start or evolve your journey towards a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
