Fit for Diversity Fit for Purpose

摘要

Most organisations appreciate the commercial imperatives to understand and reach particular markets with their products. Saga sells holidays to older age groups, Diamond sells insurance specifically to women and HSBC sells Halal or Sharia financial products to Muslims. In the public sector the principle of community and people-focused services is as fundamental as the idea of public service itself. Many understand the clear relationship between diverse workforces and effectiveness in service delivery. Most want to be 'employers of choice' with workforces that reflect the communities they serve. However few are considered to be diverse employers fit for purpose.
