The Getting started on D&I guide lays out 5 key areas for D&I action (the ‘5 Ps of D&I’) and links to DCA research and practical resources.
The Getting Started Guide: Your step-by-step guide to diversity and inclusion at work
We’ve developed this guide for people who lead, implement, or are involved in supporting D&I work in their organisation. This guide will:
- help you get the basics right
- identify priority areas and design and implement initiatives that address these
- direct you to DCA resources that can support you and help you make the most of your membership.
Not everything in this guide will be relevant for your organisation. It is up to you and your team to decide what will work for you.
The ‘Getting started on D&I’ guide outlines the ‘5 Ps of D&I’, 5 key areas for D&I action.
