The Greater London Authority and In Diverse Company have partnered to offer the implementation support programme for the inclusive employer toolkits, launched under the Mayor of London’s Workforce Integration Network (WIN) initiative.

This initiative is designed to support London businesses in fostering equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) while driving financial and non-financial growth.

It is open to all employers operating in the following economic sectors:

  • Creative and cultural industries
  • Digital and technology
  • Green economy
  • Health (NHS)
  • Hospitality

Whether you’re starting your EDI journey or looking to complement and enhance your existing efforts, this programme is tailored to meet your needs.

It’s free to attend and provides:

  • Learning sessions and events tailored to help you integrate WIN’s inclusive employer toolkits with your current strategies. Sessions are customised to your sector and your business size, from micro and small enterprises to medium-sized organisations.
  • Coaching and consultancy support from EDI and industry experts that would ordinarily involve significant costs - now available to you at no charge.
  • Access to a knowledge-sharing hub featuring experts and peer organisations, offering practical insights to complement your ongoing work - currently in development.
  • Group coaching opportunities to address real-time challenges and foster collaboration across industries.

This programme is flexible, allowing you to choose the sessions most relevant to your organisation’s needs. Upcoming sessions cover the following:

Group coaching and problem solving - February 2025

This round of events is aimed at employers who are seeking support in implementing actions within the toolkit, who hopefully have attended one of the first sessions, and split into individual sectors.

Employers bring an outline of their problems and a tentative action plan, which they share with the group.

A series of group discussions takes place where employers collectively work through their implementation plan with coaching from facilitators and industry experts.

Breakout groups are created to enable participants to receive coaching and action planning from our facilitators and experts and problem-solve together.

Employers then share their revised plans with the wider groups, finalise their action plans and choose an accountability partner from their peers to hold them to account.

Humanisation and networking half-day - March 2025

This is an in-person half-day event open to employers of all sectors and sizes focused on humanising the work of the toolkits, and with a particular focus on intersectionality to build understanding of the challenges marginalised groups face in the economy.

Keynote speakers and industry experts speak on related subjects, breakout workshops are held to enable employers to explore these themes more concretely, and time is built in to enable networking.

Reflections - May 2025

This final round of events is again split into individual sectors. These are discussion-led sessions, facilitated by breakout groups, to allow participants to reflect on their learnings throughout the programme, discuss their progress and successes with other learners, explore solutions to challenges and difficulties, extract lessons they’ve learned, and evaluate the implementation service and offer feedback on how it can improve.
