What is Diversity Mark?
The Diversity Mark is awarded to companies following an independent assessment process which ensures they have reached the required standard of commitment to advancing Diversity and Inclusion.
For companies from all sectors the Diversity Mark is a ‘Mark of Progress’ that publicly declares that they are committed to building a more diverse and inclusive workplace to benefit all employees.
Accreditations
The Diversity Mark accreditation is awarded to companies following an independent assessment process which ensures they have reached the required standard of commitment to advancing Diversity and Inclusion.
Diversity and Inclusion demands commitment and action at all levels in organisations and in particular, active leadership from the CEO and those in senior roles. Therefore the first step on this journey involves the organisation Chief Executive or Chair signing the Diversity Mark Charter.
Once an organisation registers to join the Diversity Mark Charter has to be signed at the highest level in the organisation. Once the signed Charter is returned the application pack is forwarded and the accreditation journey begins.
The Benefits
The Diversity Mark accreditation process is much more than a tick-box exercise. You are provided with a framework which enables you to reflect on any institutional barriers to unrepresented genders and groups, and then take action. The Diversity Mark independent assessment panel will provide you with expert independent feedback every year whilst you are on your Diversity journey.
