YOUR EDI ACCREDITATION JOURNEY STARTS HERE
Our EDI Accreditations utilise FREDIE as an enhancement to regular EDI frameworks for a more effective solution for workforce engagement.
EDI ACCREDITATION FOR THE WORKPLACE
We passionately believe that an inclusive organisation is a successful organisation.
We will help you build an inclusive culture by harnessing the power of FREDIE (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement) in your workplace. We do this through Investors in Diversity – a tool that has been much loved for two decades.
Working with over one thousand organisations across multiple sectors, we have created a framework that builds inclusive cultures and leads organisations to success. Our approach is continuously evolving in step with the modern workplace and our dedicated team of assessors are knowledgeable, highly experienced, and here to tailor their support to your needs.
Here are our three main EDI Accreditations
Investors in Diversity
- BRONZE (UK)
Committing
Bronze is the first of the three stages in the Investors in Diversity FREDIE accreditation.
It provides organisations with a framework to put in place a strong foundation to embed FREDIE into wider organisational systems. In addition to being a starting point for those that are beginning their FREDIE journey, this best practice model enables organisations, at all stages of their FREDIE journey, to measure and demonstrate FREDIE maturity.
Investors in Diversity
- SILVER (UK)
Embedding
Building on the requirements of Bronze, the ‘Investors in Diversity Silver UK’ accreditation invites feedback from the people working in your organisation.
The second step in the Investors in Diversity accreditation is about listening to what employees have to say and understanding how people are experiencing the culture within your organisation. In this part of the process, organisations measure the sense of FREDIE from the employees’ perspective. This model provides a benchmark against other organisations, while also providing insights into key strengths and areas that require development.
Investors in Diversity
- GOLD (UK)
Leading
The ‘Gold Investors in Diversity FREDIE accreditation’ is all about excellence and ensuring FREDIE is part of the DNA of your organisation.
In this stage, organisations must demonstrate how FREDIE is embedded across everything, and as a result is influencing the “lived experience” of employees in a positive way.
Your journey is flexible to your needs with additional support days, yearly reviews and bespoke training available to help you deliver on your action plan.
What is Investors in Diversity?
Bringing all of your equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives together and building on your existing strategy, the Investors in Diversity accreditation is a framework that helps you to build on your successes, close any gaps and embed FREDIE (fairness, respect, equality diversity, inclusion and engagement) practices and behaviours throughout your organisational culture.
