D&I Pledges 2 & 5: Workshop on Social Mobility

Login to your BRC account to access the meeting note for the latest D&I Charter Workshop on Social Mobility and Inclusive Hiring hosted on 10 September.

In 2021, through the HR Community we commenced our BRC Diversity & Inclusion Charter, our change programme, to understand and improve the state of D&I in UK Retail.

Based on six pledges (CEO accountability, recruitment, opportunity and progression, data sharing, inclusive workplace and culture, and line managers’ responsibility), the charter is delivered with the support of our expert partners, the RPC who provides deep expertise and insight through our program of signatories’ exclusive virtual roundtables every six weeks, exclusive to D&I Charter signatories.

Each workshop relates to one or two charger pledges, and in the latest one we looked at:

2) We will ensure there is no bias in the recruitment process and will undertake a transparent process of audit

5) We commit to create a respectful, inclusive work environment within which every employee has the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the company’s vision and values

Access to the Charter is a free opt-in benefit for BRC retail members.

Presentation slides, reading materials and access to the workshops are exclusive to D&I Charter signatories. If you aren’t yet involved, contact Luiza (Luiza.Gomes@brc.org.uk) for an intro chat about it.
