Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at Monkhouse
The journey to building a better workplace is an ever evolving one.
We put a strong focus on cultivating an inclusive environment in which every colleague is valued and has opportunities - and where everyone feels connected to their work, their colleagues, and the Company.
In that spirit, here's our take on an inclusive environment...
What does it all mean?
-
Diversity
Intentionally employing a workforce made up of individuals with a range of characteristic traits.
-
Diversity that matters
Intentionally employing a workforce made up of individuals with a range of characteristics that creates a difference, such as gender, race, age, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, disability, LGBTQ+ and others.
-
Equity
Often described as treating everyone the same. True equity is about treating people differently in order to treat them the same.
Recognising people who have historically or systemically been excluded or marginalised, and removing obstacles to their inclusion.
-
Inclusion
Creating an environment where everyone is not only welcomed but valued; everyone feels able to and has avenues to participate, contribute, speak up and be heard.
-
Belonging
People feel personally connected to their colleagues, employer and environment. Psychological safety for all.
