Diversity and Inclusion

Business in the Community (BITC) is working to ensure all employees feel they belong, have a voice, are valued and are able to be their true selves. We have three diversity and inclusion strands; age, gender equality and race equality.

BITC works with employers to respond effectively to the ageing population and the needs of older workers and to leverage the benefits of effective intergenerational working.
We support organisations to achieve a gender-balanced workforce where employers recruit and progress the best talent, irrespective of gender.
For over 25 years BITC has been campaigning and helping organisations to ensure Black, Asian, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels.
