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.

By 2024 National Inclusion Week will be in its 12th year, and where we started with building awareness to inclusion and diversity we’re starting to shift into empowering people to make change in their workplace by providing the tools, resources and interactive sessions to do this. 

National Inclusion Week has grown exponentially reaching thousands of organisations and millions on social media – we’re hoping to make 2024 our biggest and most impactful yet. Will you be celebrating with us?

“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.”
