Kantar
It’s always a thrill to be recognised for the work we do. Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts are a rewarding part of our work because they make a real difference to our colleagues around the world. Many of our people are facing difficult social and political situations and we want to make sure work is a place they’re truly safe to be themselves. For us, making our workplace more inclusive is a win in itself, but being included in the list of Most Inclusive Employers is fantastic recognition of our work as well as an opportunity to understand how we are doing in relation to other organisations that are leading with bravery in this space. We’re truly passionate about inclusion, it’s strategically important for us as a business – both to better understand our own people everywhere through the colleague support we offer, as well as in the work we do with clients. Thank you for this acknowledgement and motivation to keep at it.
Humberside Police
We are beyond proud to have yet again been recognised as one of the Country’s most inclusive employers.
Each year at the Inclusive Awards, The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers are announced. And at the award ceremony, held on Thursday 28 November 2024, Humberside Police were placed 20th on the list.
Just to be placed on The Inclusive 50 UK Employers list is an incredible achievement, but to make the top 20 is phenomenal. This is the third year Humberside Police have made the list. Last year we were ranked 33rd, and this year we have moved up to 20th place. We are now Silver Award holders, and the highest-ranking police force on the list.
This recognition is a testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone in our organisation to create a truly inclusive environment. At Humberside Police, we understand that equity and inclusiveness go beyond representation—they require ongoing, meaningful engagement with our Staff Network Associations to ensure we truly understand the lived experiences of our workforce. These networks are invaluable in helping us improve our policies, practices, and approaches to policing, so that we serve not only our employees, in terms of attracting and retaining the very best talent possible, but also our communities with fairness and understanding.
As a force, we are committed to providing the best support to our people and ensuring that our workforce is fully reflective of the communities we serve. By embedding equity and inclusiveness into our culture, we can continue to make progress, foster trust, and deliver a service that we can all be proud of.
