Entries are now open for the MJ Awards 2020; this year GatenbySanderson are proud to be sponsoring a brand new category “Innovation in Building Diversity and Inclusion”.
The benefit that diversity and inclusion can bring to organisations – be this increased creativity, innovation, wellbeing or productivity – has long been recognised. Yet, the pace of progress is insufficient. This new category looks at organisations that have made diversity and inclusion a strategic imperative and have delivered results.
Entries can now be made via the MJ Awards website (https://awards.themj.co.uk/category/Innovation-in-Building-Diversity-and-Inclusion) and entries should include:
- A summary of how this activity addressed the authority’s objectives to increasing under-representation in its workforce
- A description of how the project helped to build a more inclusive culture
- Specifically, the new ideas, processes or initiatives that were pioneered to think differently and deliver results
- The challenges met and how they were overcome
- Whether the planned outcomes were met
- What funding was accessed
- The lasting legacy of the activity and consequent activity/plans
- The level of partnership working involved in the project, either cross departmental. public-public or public-private.
