organisation . Staff need to be more than bought-in — they have to recognise that everyone is responsible for making our shared workplace more diverse and inclusive .
At Palladium , we ’ ve done this by giving D & I a place at the top table through the creation of a Chief Diversity Officer role , holding senior leaders accountable and transparent about the progress we ’ re making , and maintaining an ongoing conversation with staff at all levels . Companies have to keep D & I top of mind in all they do , constantly sharing ideas , debating issues , and continuously improving together . This means that when we have success to celebrate , such as the reduction of our Equal Pay Gap from 21 % in some parts of the business to less than 2 % globally , everyone can share in that success !
