This toolkit was created through the Employer Engagement Project for Ethnic Minorities (EEPEM) to support local employers in building more inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplaces.
It offers practical tools, templates, and guidance to help you attract, hire, support, and retain talent from ethnically diverse communities—while benefiting your entire workforce and strengthening your business.
This toolkit is a practical companion to our “Barriers to Employment Report”, which explores the challenges faced by minority ethnic individuals in accessing, sustaining, and progressing in employment.
In the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) section, we offer tools and insights to assist your organization in cultivating a welcoming and inclusive work environment. Our initiative has emphasized events that focus on DEI practices, including both in-person gatherings and online webinars. These efforts encompass best practices for measuring and implementing a cohesive and effective DEI strategy, understanding cultural differences and educating the workforce on enhancing cultural awareness and inclusiveness.

This toolkit is designed to support employers in building inclusive recruitment, onboarding, and retention practices that benefit ethnically diverse employees and applicants.
Any employer looking to improve their equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) practices. It’s particularly useful for HR teams, managers, and business owners.
You can explore it section by section or start with the area most relevant to you—like Evaluate & Improve , Recruit & Retain, or Immigration & Sponsorship. Downloadable templates, checklists, and links are included throughout.
Absolutely! We encourage all stakeholders, employers, DEI advocates and community members—to share suggestions, resources, articles or links they find valuable. Simply add this via feedback button bellow
Inclusive practices help attract a wider talent pool, improve employee satisfaction and retention, foster innovation, and strengthen your reputation as an ethical employer.
Not all at once. We want to support small and medium business enterprise. Start where you can: use a checklist, revise a job ad, or ask for feedback from staff. Small changes make a big difference over time.
You can use the self-assessment tools provided in this toolkit to review current practices, set priorities, and track improvements over time.
Yes! We are involved in many projects and initiatives. We can offer support or point you to further resources. Contact us to find out more.
