Elevate, Inclusive Workplace Pledge
BITCI’s Elevate Pledge supports businesses to build more inclusive workplaces. The ultimate ambition of this initiative is for a workforce that is representative of all members of Irish society.
Our workplaces have become more diverse, incorporating a multiplicity of backgrounds, experiences and identities. This has brought huge benefits to Irish business. However, diversity alone is not enough. Workplace inclusion is about creating a culture where everyone feels welcome, has access to opportunities and is supported to thrive.
66 companies (so far) have signed up to the Pledge, including:
Signatory companies commit to:
- Record the diversity profile of the workforce.
- Participate in a BITCI report which will publish the diversity profile of the collective workforce of all signatory companies.
- Annually develop one tangible action that ensures the recruitment or retention of diverse talent.
- Annually report on the impact of this action.
- Increase ambition on the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion agenda.
- Collaborate with fellow signatories to learn and create solutions for social impact.
