What is National Inclusion Week®?

Founded by Inclusive Employers in 2013, National Inclusion Week® (NIW) is a yearly event that takes place every September that is dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to build inclusive workplaces.

National Inclusion Week® offers an opportunity to spark conversations and inspire thinking about inclusion across your organisation. It serves as a platform for discussion, generating ideas, or launching new initiatives. What makes National Inclusion Week® unique and exciting is that it involves everyone. It’s a great week to discuss intersectional issues and include all your communities – across gender, race, religion, LGBTQ+, disabilities, carers and social mobility.

Now is the Time to keep the momentum going

National Inclusion Week® creates momentum. The reality is that isolated initiatives don’t deliver lasting change. What works is integrated, year-round commitment backed by specialist guidance.

Strategic partnerships that deliver beyond the campaign moment.

Inclusive Employers Standard (IES)

Progress requires measurement, not guesswork. The Inclusive Employers Standard is our globally recognised workplace accreditation that gives EDI and HR leaders the diagnostic rigour and external validation needed to make the business case for inclusion. Using our Six Pillars of Inclusion Framework, we assess where you actually are and provide actionable feedback that identifies gaps and accelerates progress.

About Inclusive Employers

Established in 2011, Inclusive Employers are experts on workplace inclusion. We are the first and leading membership organisation for employers who are committed to prioritising inclusion and creating truly inclusive workplaces. In inclusive workplaces all employees are valued and contribute towards the success of their organisation.

We launched National Inclusion Week® in 2013 to give organisations the opportunity to celebrate inclusion and place focus on their inclusion and diversity agendas.

For us, National Inclusion Week gave us the perfect springboard to move the conversation about D&I from being among an engaged few champions to a broader audience.

National Inclusion Week is a great opportunity to put inclusion on the table (even more so than it already is) for discussion and sparking thoughts and actions in others.”

National Inclusion Week gave us a great platform to bring lots of our inclusion activity and colleagues together in a unique way. The overwhelmingly positive feedback proved it was all worth it!

We hope to use the momentum to engage every employee so they understand the importance of inclusion and how they can make it an integral part of our culture.
