Diversity services

Many organisations are confused by Equal Opportunity policies and Equality & Diversity. We help you to develop the foundations for Equality and Diversity practices throughout your organisation. Our consultants partner you to design and deliver bespoke training programmes that guide your organisation away from traditional Equal Opportunity compliance. These include:

Candidate attraction strategy

The attraction phase of recruitment is critical to embedding the process of diversification. Our consultants work with you to review your existing attraction strategy, carry out validation and perception studies and conduct an Equality Impact Assessment. This provides you with a range of interventions and strategies aimed at increasing innovation and creativity within your organisation.

Competency and skills frameworks

Having well designed and easy to follow competency and skills frameworks ensures you are selecting and developing the best people for your organisation. Our consultants are experts at tailoring existing or designing new frameworks. This ensures that they are fit for purpose and meet equality and diversity legislative requirements.

Diversity strategy training

Many organisations are confused by Equal Opportunity policies and Equality & Diversity. Our consultants partner you to design and deliver bespoke training programmes that guide your organisation away from traditional Equal Opportunity compliance. We help you to develop the foundations for equality and diversity practices throughout your organisation. Our approach ensures your policies are validated and highly visible. These are two crucial factors in creating a transparent working environment and maintaining a competitive edge.

Breaking through programmes

OThe best organisations grow through the identification and utilisation of talent from within their own talent pools. In our experience, potential talent can be discouraged from advancing either by real, or more often, perceived internal barriers. History tells us people quickly assume the worst; “there’s no point in trying, there’s no point in applying”. We change this rationale. Our diversity experts and business psychologists design and deliver programmes aimed at changing hearts and minds. Our bespoke service begins to manifest change at the very heart of the organisation. We support the individuals, handing them back the initiative, empowering them to dispel these myths. Our trusted approach creates an energized, creative workplace, ready to meet the ever changing demands of business.

Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA)

Capita leads the way amongst the private sector in terms of embracing EqIAs as a business improvement tool. What does Equality look like in your organisation? Our diversity experts undertake EqIAs which provide you with comprehensive, evidence based feedback on what is happening “on the ground”. This allows us to make recommendations on how you can improve your policies, processes and strategies to ensure you get the very best out of your people.

Reasonable adjustments

Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) organisations have a legal duty to make reasonable adjustments within selection processes and in the workplace. Our diversity and business psychology teams provide you with all the information and expertise you need to fully comply with the legislation. This ensures existing and potential employees are provided with the best opportunity to demonstrate their skills and expertise.
