Inclusion is a huge asset for businesses and offers genuine competitive advantage. People are the key to the success of any organization, and a diverse workforce is a key factor in effective recruitment, retention and service delivery. Everyone is a potential customer. Today more than ever, inclusion matters.

The benefits of employing people with a wide range of backgrounds, abilities and experiences include:

• Having the best people working for you, and with you, for the best productive outcomes.
• Staff who show greater loyalty, reliability and commitment, and improved staff retention.
• A more positive, representative and focused working environment.
• Greater creativity and innovation from necessary problem solving.
• By demonstrating a commitment to Disability and Diversity, your organisation is sending a powerful message to existing and future employees that you are people-focused and have their welfare at heart. It will also boost your public profile and improve your relationships with customers/service users.
• Expertise in developing non-traditional working practices.
