The diversity of your community should be reflected within your current workforce, too often minority communities are underrepresented in the current workforce. Individual employers across the country are working with local partners to make a difference to their communities through employment, using the policy levers and training routes available. It is also important to consider UK labour market trends. It’s also important to consider how you retain these staff members through positive staff experience as well as provide equal career progression opportunities.
