To enhance our organisation’s diversity and inclusiveness, we have developed the Diversity and Inclusion Strategy FY23 to FY26.
Whilst this is the first formal strategy for Diversity and Inclusion in Acumentis, informally this has been an area that is already operationally occurring. The choice to set a strategy for 3 years is to create a formal starting point that can be implemented and reviewed in this time frame.
As an organisation committing to a more formal D&I framework by 2026, we may shorten or lengthen the strategy framework timeframe when next reviewed.
Whilst this strategy is in operation for 3 years, it will be regularly reviewed, at minimum six monthly.
Diversity is the mix of people in our organisation. Inclusion is getting this mix to work – creating an environment where a diversity of people are respected, connected, and progressing and contributing to our organisation’s success. Therefore, as an organisation, if we wish to experience the benefits of diversity, we need to continue to cultivate not just a diverse workplace but importantly, an inclusive one.
To enhance our organisation’s diversity and inclusiveness, we have developed the Diversity and Inclusion Strategy FY23 to FY26.
This strategy considers and responds to the inaugural Acumentis Diversity and Inclusion Survey conducted mid- 2020, Acumentis’ Guiding Principles and best practice research from around the world.
We have relied heavily on the data backed research and guidance of the Diversity Council of Australia, of which we became members of in August 2020.
