Did you know that by 2011 LESS THAN 20% of the UK workforce will be white males under 45? That is the reason why organisations are focusing on Equality and Diversity issues, as they can see the business benefits of addressing this now.
At OMS we work with organisations to develop frameworks, policies, tool-kits and management training in the area of Diversity and Equality, that are bespoke and tailored to their culture, industry and management ethos. Things have moved on a lot since the old fashioned Equal Opportunities Policies of the 1980s and 1990s and progressive employers are recognising this now. We will help you to identify which parts of your organisation need focus, ‘diversity-proof’ your procedures and ensure you get the best from your employees.
Recent research of current recruitment adverts have found that nearly 30% of adverts placed in one national newspaper would breach new Age Discrimination laws, coming into effect on 1 October 2006. Are you prepared for allegations of 'ageism'?
Do you have policies in place covering the following?
- Sex Discrimination
- Sexual Orientation Discrimination
- Disability Discrimination
|
- Race Discrimination
- Religiious Discrimination
- Age Discrimination

Do your managers and staff know what your organisation’s commitments are to Diversity and Equality?
Working with OMS to develop practical, straightforward procedures for embracing diversity, will bring immeasurable benefits to your organisation including:
- Improved customer service/market competitiveness – We will enable you to develop a workforce that also attracts a more diverse client base and higher customer satisfaction rates;
- Fosters innovation – We will help you to access and bring together the mind-sets and talents of a broader sample of society, which will inevitably lead to new ways of thinking, a richer variety of approaches, process/product improvement and opportunities for growth.
- Employer of choice – We will help you to become a more attractive employer in the marketplace, which will enable you to recruit from a wider and richer pool of talent, reduce your overall recruitment costs, and as a consequence build a even more robust and resilient business .
- Excellent employee relations – We will help you to better retain and motivate your existing workforce, which will result in higher productivity, a better employer image/buy-in and reduced internal disputes;
- Corporate image/responsibility – We will show you how to support and uphold the communities in which you live and work and ensure that your organisation is perceived as a positive presence, wherever you are based.
- Complying with legislation – The focus that OMS gives to diversity ensures that you will not only comply with, but exceed, your legal responsibilities.
