How to make the most of your Inclusive Employers Membership

Transform your learning with expert webinars

Access to our weekly webinar programme, with over 85 webinars annually, which share expert insight into important EDI topics. As a member, your organisation receives ten free places, on every webinar.

In addition, we give access to all webinar recordings for you to share with your whole team. These are shared in the monthly member’s email shared by your account manager and can be accessed at any time via the member’s area of our website.

Book your members places on our free webinars

Our EDI webinars are designed and delivered by our expert consultant team and allow you to absorb knowledge from our expert and diverse team.

The webinar programme is released six months in advance, which gives you time to plan who will go along from your organisation, to make sure you use all 10 free Membership places at each event.

Share the webinar learning across your organisation

Once you or a colleague has attended a webinar, you can spread the learning wider by adding the webinar topic as an agenda item for your team meeting, allowing the attendee to feedback the key learnings or takeaways. Some member organisations even host the webinars on a big screen and invite all colleagues to attend.

If there are times when you need extra resources and support on a webinar topic, or only a few colleagues have been able to attend, you can still brush up using the other sources of information included in your EDI Membership. Our blogs, awareness day pages and resources are reliable tools for self-learning and sharing with colleagues to highlight a particular topics or events.

Ready-to-use resources at your fingertips

Access to our catalogue of comprehensive EDI resources that are available to download and use in-house. This library is reviewed regularly and expanding all the time.

Access a library of Members’ Resources

Our Members’ Resources area is full of information for you to pick up, use and disseminate across your organisation. Our catalogue covers resources on a growing and evolving range of topics.

Valuable resources already prepared

I often think back to my days when I was responsible for in-house EDI, trying to do everything, including hours of research for different pieces of work, I wished I had somewhere I could go for support. That’s the value of your EDI Membership with Inclusive Employers. Our Members’ Resources area aims to have everything you need, it’s been well-researched, and you can trust the information and share it with others in your organisation.

Members’ Resources for everyone in your organisation

Think about who else could benefit from the Members’ Resources area; managers responsible for particular areas, people with passion for particular topics, or your networks and inclusion groups. You can sign them up as a user to gain direct access. The resources are designed for anyone working in EDI to achieve their goals more effectively.

Your organisation will have nominated a primary contact who is responsible for managing your EDI Membership account. This person can add as many team members as possible to gain access to the support available in the Members’ Resources area of the website.

Hands-on training and consultancy support

Free industry leading inclusion training – a half day inclusion training session from a list of core inclusion topics. Partnership members have seven days training or consultancy to use.

Use the training or consultancy time included in your Membership

Don’t forget to use your training/consultancy time. It is a valuable opportunity to progress your inclusion work and make an impact.

Corporate Membership includes half a day of training which can be used in these different ways:

• Delivery of a two-hour workshop for up to fifteen people.
• Delivery of two webinars (which can be recorded and sent to you) for up to 1,000 people.
• A facilitated conversation with key stakeholders to plan or develop your EDI strategy.

This level of support can help kick-start your EDI projects and give you a sense of the quality of support offered as part of your EDI Membership.

If you’ve opted for a Partnership Membership, you will have an additional seven days of consultancy to deep dive into your specific inclusion challenges.
