Workforce diversity and inclusion

Our workforce strategy and associated action plans need to recognise and take into account that our strength lies in our diversity, and in order to be able to effectively meet the needs of our communities it is vital that we have a workforce that is reflective of the people we serve, and in a dynamic and changing City that is easier said than done. Creating a culture that values and promotes diversity and inclusion will ensure we harness different perspectives, experiences and knowledge and support our workforce to continue to learn about the diverse communities and cultures within the City so that we may support people in a way that is appropriate to them. Our People Plan and our One Coventry Plan and its values are clear that a commitment to equality underpins the way that we work and provide services.
