What is National Inclusion Week®?
Founded by Inclusive Employers, National Inclusion Week® (NIW) is a week dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to create inclusive workplaces, in 2024 it took place from 23rd – 29th September.
The theme for National Inclusion Week® 2024 is ‘Impact Matters’, a call-to-action to everyone in your organisation, from leaders, to inclusion professionals through to teams and individuals.
‘Impact Matters’ has a powerful message that centres around understanding, identifying and measuring impact on marginalised groups and taking actions that make for genuine, sustainable change that matters.
Each one of us holds the potential to make a profound and positive impact.
