JEDI
Inclusive recruitment: fairer adverts, selection and onboarding, from first click to first month
Every stage of hiring can widen your talent pool or quietly narrow it. The Inclusive Hiring, Onboarding and Induction module gives you inclusive job adverts, fairer selection methods, an onboarding checklist and guidance on AI in recruitment, from the first advert to the first month in the job.
Every new policy, project or event affects people differently. The Creating Inclusion Assessments module gives you a step-by-step way to check who might be helped or held back before you launch, and keeps the evidence ready for an equity audit.
Inclusion rises or falls with the people at the top. The Inclusive Leadership module gives your leadership team and board clear roles, public commitments, a KPI scorecard and practical tools for everyday decisions, so inclusion is led, not just supported.
Most inclusion plans fail in the gap between the document and the day job. The Creating and Implementing a JEDI Action Plan module gives you a working action plan with named owners, a dashboard to track progress and a comms plan to keep people informed.
Policies shape how people are treated every day, often in ways nobody intended. The Reviewing and Updating Policies With a JEDI Lens module gives you a policy review process and a record of what changed, so your policies work for everyone they cover.
