About Inclusivity Partners

At Inclusivity we recognise brilliance in all its diverse forms.

No, we don’t mean your cookie cutter, uniform image of talent you usually find at senior level. We mean something else. Potential that comes from having the courage to think differently to those around you. With having a unique skill which sets you apart from the rest. Tenacity that comes from living through experiences that make you resourceful and strong. An eye that sees things others miss.

We know that for an organisation to thrive, it needs to be made up of these people. Talent that brings diversity of skill, thought, and experience to the table – enhancing the unique strength of an organisation, increasing innovation and resilience, not weakening it with homogenisation.

Breaking the mould

Luckily, we know where to find these people. As a female-led consultancy, with experience spanning the corporate sector, we have been there ourselves. We know first-hand the challenges that employers and employees face. So we have created bespoke services, backed by the latest sector research, using our tried and tested methodology, and infused with our signature pragmatism. Through them, we ensure that diverse talent can access the right role and move up the pipeline according to their unique brilliance – not the ability to fit someone else’s mould.

These people may be in your organisation already, or they may be returning to work after a break, or job-seeking. Our services include creating and launching returner programmes, executive search, consulting and development, with an emphasis on action coaching to draw out key strengths and opportunities that may have been missed previously. Our work is in harnessing individuality, so we all come out on top.

A pioneering force

We are pioneering a new way of business. We know what works because we’ve seen the results. We are unique in this field, and like our candidates and clients; we are exceptionally good at what we do.

Working with us you will gain access to a unique type of insight. Our innovative, people-centred services are grounded in the latest research in the employment, diversity and inclusion sphere and are constantly updated, adapted and refined.

Working with us you will get the practical guidance you need to make diversity and inclusion a reality in your organisation. We’ll equip you with the knowledge, tools and support to pioneer a truly inclusive and productive workplace.

Inclusivity Partners helped us successfully delivery our first ReCareer Programme in 2017. They expertly helped us shape our programme and we were delighted to find four experienced and talented women to take part in our programme. What stands Inclusivity apart is their commitment to preparing the candidates and developing their confidence so that they get the most out of the opportunity. From finessing their CVs to providing interview coaching, Inclusivity fully prepared the candidates who came to our selection event. Stephanie & Jessica delivered some memorable development and support sessions for the participants and their line managers which have been highly beneficial to their progress and enjoyment of the programme. I don’t believe we would have been able to deliver such a successful programme without Inclusivity’s support and we would not have accessed the incredible talent that is hidden in the returners market.
