12. page 12 What some people think……. Every day I read or hear something negative about diversity. I am fed up of hearing about it! Its all about quotas, positive discrimination and lowering standards We are already a diverse company so why are we even talking about this? We stick to the middle of the road with everything we do so as not to offend anyone If a client doesnt want us to employ black people we wont Its always about someone else – what about me? Its time we starting taking this stuff seriously! Surely if we treat everybody exactly the same we cant go wrong – can we? My budgets are too tight for me to afford to employ a disabled person

20. page 20 A challenging subject……? Diversity can be a challenging subject but only if we allow it to be. Our role as managers is to lead positively. Our UK and Ireland strategy is all about celebrating, including and raising awareness – in other words taking a very positive approach to what can be a negative subject We will also focus on finding practical solutions where differences create barriers e.g Providing ESOL classes for staff who do not speak English as their first language Providing funding and support for people who have a disability or become disabled Providing guidance on how to sensibly manage requests for time off for reasons of flexibility or religious observance Setting up diversity networks to inform and shape the business and ensure we have a spirit of inclusion through the business
