CIPD: valuing everyone as an individual
The CIPD define diversity as the differences in colour, ethnicity, abilities, age, gender, beliefs, interests, socioeconomic status(class), marital or partnership status, sexual orientation, geographic, academic/professional backgrounds, opinions, backgrounds, thinking, experiences, and many other personal characteristics. There is a growing body of research that shows that diverse workforce can be beneficial for decision making, innovation and problem solving as people bring a diverse range of skills and lived experiences with them. Harnessing these differences creates a productive environment in which everybody feels valued, where their talents are fully utilised and organisational and personal goals are met.
We are committed to employment practices that promote diversity and inclusion and equality of outcomes in employment through recognising of how differences of age, disability, gender, sex, marriage and civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity status, ethnicity, colour, religion, or belief and other protected (by equalities law) and personal characteristics can advantage or disadvantage a person.
