The Inclusive Employers Standard<\/a> (IES) is more than an inclusion accreditation. It is a framework to support organisations to deliver their inclusion and diversity strategy. Importantly, it is a continuous process that supports organisations wherever they are at on their inclusion journey. <\/p>\n Organisations can take the IES more than once – its feedback process encourages progress and improvement. By participating again you will find out how your organisation has developed and used the feedback from the initial accreditation process.<\/p>\n Some organisations will be ready to take the full Inclusive Employers Standard accreditation, but for those at the beginning of their inclusion journey, the Foundation Assessment may be more suitable. <\/p>\n The Foundation Assessment is for organisations looking to kick start their inclusion journey<\/a>. If inclusion is new, or at the early stages, for your organisation the Foundation Assessment is a brilliant way to understand where you are at and how you can begin to put inclusion practices in place.<\/p>\n Like the Inclusive Employers Standard, the Foundation Assessment includes a series of questions that are based on the six pillars of diversity and inclusion<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Foundation Assessment can be taken at any time of the year; it is not bound by set timeframes like the Inclusive Employers Standard.<\/p>\n Once you have submitted your responses to the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive feedback report that provides a gap analysis, guidance on best practice and the opportunity to meet with a member of our expert consulting team. <\/p>\n We aim for the Foundation Assessment to identify ways for your organisation to be more inclusive and allow you to review and develop your inclusion strategy and action plan. <\/p>\n To learn more about the Foundation Assessment and how it can work for your organisation, send us an enquire by filling out the form below.<\/p>\nIs the Foundation Assessment right for me?<\/h2>\n
