Embankment in the News
6 July 2011. Today sees the publication of a pathfinding report into construction industry good practice and the sectoral impact of equality and diversity.
Co-authored with experts Katalytik, the report was commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
"We propose a simple four point plan to help companies get started on building a great place to work. And underpinning all this, we recommend a clear, no nonsense sector-wide campaign to get through the message that equality and diversity isn't political correctness. It's a straightforward and businesslike goal, based on mutual respect for each and every individual."
