About us
We are Disability Confident

Inclusivity Works is the dedicated employer site to collate and share good news, best practice, helpful tips and encouragement to all Gloucestershire employers to amend, improve and benefit from an inclusive approach to recruitment. For some this simply means reinforcing what they are already doing by capturing the successes, for others it’s about changing certain practices to expand their appeal to locally based potential candidates, or a taste of what it would be like to be employed with them, for example, engaging people in a work experience or trial.
Diversity in the workplace can bring numerous benefits to your business. The greater your mix of people the greater the mix of skills, experiences, and creative ideas you can draw upon to boost innovation and performance. But the benefits of diversity cannot be fully achieved without creating an inclusive working environment.
Inclusivity is a culture in which people can come to work, feel comfortable and confident to be themselves, working in a way that suits them to deliver your organisational needs. Inclusion ensures everybody feels valued and can add value to your business.
It is our ambition to make the county a beacon for inclusivity in the UK by supporting organisations across Gloucestershire to develop their working practices and encourage the employment of people from all backgrounds and abilities.
This initiative is designed to build a strong network of inclusive employers across the county that can share best practice and build meaningful alliances.
“Inclusivity Works is designed to build a strong network of inclusive employers across the county.”
Inclusivity Works is a resource hub which will continue to grow to support organisations across the county in becoming more inclusive.
Organisations can reap a number of benefits from tapping into a new pool of talent to reducing staff turnover and recruitment costs, increasing staff morale and a better understanding of their own customer base.
