Being holistic in your inclusion and equalities work means adopting a more strategic and integrated approach, across and beyond the protected characteristics of UK equality legislation.
Being holistic embraces the intersectional nature of inequality. We understand how our personal characteristics (such as race, gender, disability) do not exist in isolation. They are interconnected, and lead to unique combinations of discrimination and privilege.
Our holistic approach to workplace inclusivity focuses on changing systems (e.g. processes, policies and practices), making them more inclusive of everyone − and avoiding trying to ‘fix’ individuals.
