Our commitment to inclusion
Our Social Inclusion Working Group was established to help reach our goal of diversity in the workplace.
Founded in the summer of 2016, our Social Inclusion Working Group draws its members from across the organisation.
It has developed important tools, provided training and helped to raise awareness. The group’s objectives are to:
- Promote staff commitment to inclusion
- Monitor inclusion efforts and identify gaps
- Enable Sightsavers to become an employer of choice for people with disabilities.
