Women and Equalities Committee: Effectiveness of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives
Committee hears from witnesses
The Women and Equalities Committee will scrutinise the effectiveness of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives across organisations and sectors. This oral evidence session examines whether existing EDI programmes are achieving their stated goals of reducing discrimination and improving representation of underrepresented groups in workplaces and public institutions.
EDI programmes affect hiring, promotion, and workplace culture across the public and private sectors. This inquiry will assess whether significant investment in EDI has translated into measurable improvements in equality outcomes, informing future government policy on diversity requirements and spending priorities.
