Four ways to win the Equality, Inclusivity & Diversity Award

With entries flooding in from companies across the region as they all vie to be named the victor in at least one category at the Hampshire Business Awards 2024, there’s one category that stands out as a truly important accolade. 

Sponsored by Milestone Infrastructure, the Equality, Inclusivity & Diversity Award celebrates companies that have demonstrated a commitment to creating a culture of equality and respect, with initiatives that go beyond compliance to drive meaningful change. 

As the world of business sees these core values of respect and togetherness becoming ever more important, we can’t wait to see who takes home the trophy from this year’s event. 

But with every business across the globe acting on these principles of change and betterment, how can you make sure that you’re giving yourself the best possible chance of winning this award? 

Here are four things to focus on when filling in your nomination form: 

Creating change across your organisation 

Though the movement towards achieving total equality within your organisation will begin at the top, it’s vital that you’re creating positive change across your whole business. Tell us all about how you’ve engaged and inspired your employees, stakeholders and leadership teams to ensure that everyone gets involved with uniting your business. 

Collaborating with others 

Though it’s great to have held a keen focus on bettering your organisation, our independent judges are on the hunt for a nominee who has played an active role in bettering the community as a whole. Encompassing both the worlds of business and wider social beliefs, we’re looking for a winner who has had a significant impact on equality, inclusivity and diversity in all aspects of their work. 

Driving meaningful change 

While our judges are interested in the processes and initiatives that you’ve implemented within your organisation, we also want to hear about the results. Spare no detail when describing how your activities have made your people feel valued, empowered, respected and proud to be a part of your company. 

Demonstrating a long-term commitment 

We’re not just looking for a winner whose been the most active up to this point – we want to shine the spotlight on a business that we know will continue to strive for positive change and that will go on to have a significant impact on the lives of all Hampshire residents.
