Benefits of Workplace EDI
The Big Construction Diversity Challenge
Innovation
A diverse workforce with differing views, experiences and opinions add new skills to teams, helping deliver innovative solutions which not only improve a company’s performance, but the sector as a whole
Employees working within an inclusive organisation where everyone feels they belong, can be their true self and reach their full potential tend to have better mental and physical health
Physical and Mental Wellbeing
Staff Morale
Workplaces where employees feel recognised and valued creates positive working relationships which makes work a nicer place to be for everyone, boosting morale and making individuals feel happier, relaxed and more motivated
An environment where everyone is encouraged and feels safe to express their opinions freely and honestly benefits both employees and employers
Employer/Employee Trust
Discrimination and Prejudice
Interacting and sharing with colleagues from various backgrounds and with different experiences leads to better understanding which, in turn, reduces prejudices and stereotyping
“By attending a Diversity Challenge, forward-thinking companies already embracing EDI can share their experience and knowledge, highlight the benefits to the wider logistics community and, really importantly, challenge the industry’s outdated image.”
Clare Bottle, UK Warehousing Association CEO
