The Mayor’s Workforce Integration Network (WIN) aims to tackle labour market inequality by working with employers and civil society to address structural barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from accessing good work across key sectors in London.
In 2024, we launched our updated Inclusive Employer Toolkits, which provide employers of all sizes in the creative and cultural, digital and technology, green, healthcare, and hospitality sectors of London’s economy with clear steps they can take to improve diversity and inclusion in their workforce. Based on original research with employees and employers in each sector, the toolkits propose steps which are specific to the current challenges and context of each sector.
WIN is pleased to announce the launch of a new Implementation Support Programme tailored for Health sectors. This support programme is free to all participants and will equip you with both improved awareness and actionable strategies to foster diverse and inclusive workplaces that drive business performance. The programme includes a series of learning sessions, events and access to a virtual knowledge hub, all with the aim to help you internalise the WIN Toolkit and gain the following benefits:
– Grow through Inclusion: Enhance both financial and non-financial aspects of your organisation.
– Modular Learning: Tailor your participation to fit your organisational needs.
– Networking Opportunities: Engage with peers within and beyond your sector.
– Expert Guidance: Benefit from insights shared by EDI and industry experts.
– Virtual Knowledge Hub: Access resources for effective toolkit implementation.
We are launching a first round of events regarding this support service, taking place in November and December. This round is intended to be an awareness-building session designed for organisations who are not familiar with the toolkits and the same workshop will be delivered on these three dates:
. 12 November, 1 – 2:30pm
. 20 November, 11am – 12:30pm
. 5 December, 3 – 4:30pm
Our delivery partners In Diverse Company, who are the organisers, will give participants an overview of the WIN toolkits and its sections, share key principles and industry best practices for the actions, highlight some foundational actions within the various toolkits, and provide case studies and examples of how the actions are being implemented in various sectors and industries. Each session will include a space for participants to have group discussions about these action areas, share their reflections/experiences, and ask questions. Future rounds of events and the launch of our virtual knowledge hub will take place in 2025.
To sign up to this new programme and confirm your attendance, please complete our survey. If this programme is not suitable for you, but you believe other organisations may benefit from participating, we would encourage you to share this with your professional networks.
