The Big Diversity Challenge Series
WHAT IS THE BIG LOGISTICS DIVERSITY CHALLENGE?
The Big Diversity Challenge series of events was developed to provide an opportunity for industry organisations to experience a unique way to promote the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion in their workforce.
There is an age old saying – ‘variety is the spice of life’ – and this couldn’t be more true than in the workplace. Companies who actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion will thrive and people of all backgrounds can come together and achieve success.
WHY IS DIVERSITY SO IMPORTANT
Over recent decades barriers have been broken down and, as a society, we have come to realise and accept that not everyone fits the same mould. As a nation we are a diverse mix of genders, abilities and beliefs; so fundamentally it should follow that all employers embrace the wealth of talent available when recruiting and retaining staff.
THE BIG DIVERSITY CHALLENGES OBJECTIVES
The Big Logistics Diversity Challenge has been specifically designed to promote the importance of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) across the logistics and warehousing sectors
The event brings together industry professionals to look at how diversity can be tackled collaboratively and collectively through physical and mental team-building challenges.
It is also an opportunity for organisations to share best practice, network, team build and help shape a more inclusive sector… while recognising and rewarding employees with an adventurous day of fun.
HOW DOES THE BIG DIVERSITY CHALLENGE CONVEY ITS MESSAGE?
By bringing together a cross section of today’s industry, from undergraduates to CEOs
By showcasing and emphasising the positive difference diversity brings to the industry
By promoting your organisation’s own message for a more diverse and inclusive workforce
By opening doors for those looking for a career in your industry: ‘the industry’s future’
“People may be said to resemble not the bricks of which a house is built, but the pieces of a picture puzzle, each differing in shape, but matching the rest, and thus bringing out the picture.”
Felix Adler, Political and Social Professor.
“Adopting diversity as a business strategy will make any company an attractive career choice to all, enhance staff morale, widen skill sets and retain staff. It will reduce recruitment overheads and deliver results.”
