At InHealth, we value the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion and we are committed to delivering tangible actions and making positive changes that foster an inclusive culture where everyone feels they belong.
With a dedicated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy, which encompasses a full action plan and associated policy, our commitment statement underpins our approach to all things ED&I:
Every individual who uses our services, or delivers them, will be treated equally and fairly and have open access to healthcare services and opportunities to progress and develop as a person.
We want everyone who is part of InHealth to feel valued, respected, included and safe.
We know that when it comes to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, it is a continuous journey and we are proud to be making meaningful, positive changes that ensure we are always learning and progressing in the areas that are most important to our colleagues. Some of our achievements include:
SPEAKING UP
Following a Just Culture and providing routes for staff to speak up and feed back, including the ED&I Forum, Staff Partnership Forum, Wellbeing Steering Group, Freedom to Speak Up Guardians, Mental Health First Aiders and our annual Staff Survey.
REPORTING ED&I DATA
Reporting important ED&I data to ensure visibility and accountability, including: the annual Staff Survey with a comprehensive ED&I section, a Gender Pay Gap report and a Workforce Race Equality Standard report.
FOSTERING INCLUSIVITY
Fostering and encouraging staff inclusivity; introducing a volunteering allowance for staff, an events management toolkit that suggests ED&I activities as part of team building and an enhanced induction process for international staff.
AN ED&I FORUM
