Our commitment DIVERSITY But it’s more than this. We all bring with us diverse perspectives, work experiences, life styles and cultures. As a source and driver of innovation, diversity is a “big idea” in business and in society. At LYLE we recognise the power of diversity is unleashed when we respect and value differences and we strive to educate clients on the benefits of Positive Action to redress imbalances when recruiting leaders and future leaders. INCLUSION DIVERSITY is the mix and INCLUSION is getting the mix to work at our best together.
In broad terms, diversity is any dimension that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another. It means respect for and appreciation of differences in ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education, and religion.
Inclusion is a state of being valued, respected and supported. It’s about focusing on the needs of every individual and ensuring the right conditions are in place for each person to achieve his or her full potential. It involves identifying strengths and where possible avoids wasting time trying to fix an individuals’ weaknesses which can quash inspiration and limits the creativity which can lead to commercial advantage. We believe inclusion should be reflected in an organisation’s culture, practices and relationships. Awareness, coupled with properly executed recruitment strategies can support a diverse workforce who are inspired to work loyally playing to and learning from eachother’s strengths.
