In Order To Develop This Strategy, We Should Conduct Surveys And Studies ...


In order to develop this strategy, we should conduct surveys and studies into the current level of diversity in our workforce, and the steps we can take to improve this. We should also examine how our customers and external stakeholders perceive our brand and diversity, and the changes, if any, that they think we should make. Finally, we should engage our workforce in all our research and policy decisions, to ensure that they are bought into our new strategy. Ideally at this stage we will look to appoint diversity champions to promote the policies throughout our workforce. This will help prepare us for the full roll out, and ensure that the strategy is supported across the company.

As part of this, Briggs will ensure that all employees will be treated fairly and equally; providing employees with:
The right to be treated with dignity, respect and fairness
The right to air their views without fear of prejudice or discrimination
The right to guidance, advice, and information on their progress and development
The right to raise issues or complain if any aspect of their work is not as expected
We have named people who can be contacted to raise any issues
We are determined to eliminate any harassment from the workplace and will take serious steps against anyone found to have harassed or bullied a colleague
We recognise the different types of discrimination and are committed to addressing these
We are committed to monitoring and improving our policies and welcome suggestions that will help us achieve this
