Focus On Inclusion Group
Everyone at Salix Homes has a role to play in delivering our vision for equality, diversity, and inclusion and our Inclusion Strategy sets out our ambitions and commitment to promoting respect, acceptance and understanding through valuing difference and improving experiences for all.
To grow a diverse workforce, it is important that we create a culture of belonging. To better understand the experiences of our colleagues and what more we can do to enable them to be their authentic selves, we have a dedicated Inclusion Group, who have made great progress in 2022/23, launching the following initiatives:
Diversity Diaries - A series of short videos through which colleagues share a personal story about their experiences to enhance understanding of the challenges they have faced in their lives and why inclusion is important.
Diversity Calendar - A celebration of important events to raise awareness of key issues and promote understanding. This has included colleagues sharing their culture as part of South Asian Heritage Month and the provision of information to improve awareness.
Menopause Support – We’ve launched a new Menopause Policy and a menopause support group.
Looking ahead - our 2023-25 Business Priorities:
- Retain our G1V2 Regulatory Rating
- Optimise our operating performance to enhance our financial strength
- Continue to be well governed and regulatory compliant
- Continue to be a great place to work with a high performing workforce
