Gender Equality in Facilities Management
A recent article from APSCo on APSCo.org.
Excerpt:
”Poor equality and diversity in any organisation has been shown to negatively affect the bottom line. Not only can poor diversity affect customer perception and lead to boycotts and negative press or social media [presence] around your brand, it can also put off potential hires, who don’t want to be seen to be working for a homogenous company. People see diverse workplaces as being safer and more welcoming for them, and as a place where they can fit in more readily.”
Within the article, I was particularly proud of the work Mace is doing as an organisation. It makes reference to our new Diversity & Inclusion Strategy 2020 and the 6 steps we’ve laid out to achieve improved equality across the organisation.
“With the release of their Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2020, Mace have set out a series of six steps in order to achieve further equality in their business. They also champion the equality and diversity networks set up in the business for everyone, including their Women at Mace network, the Pride at Mace network, Ethnic Diversity and Inclusion Network (EDIN), the Enabled at Mace network and the Mace Military Network. Each of these works to support colleagues at Mace and to raise awareness of the challenges faced by different people.”
