A new category that’s been introduced for the 2020 Diversity Awards NZ will present further opportunities to celebrate organisations excelling in workplace inclusion.
The Impact Award will recognise organisations that provide a service that is having a measurable impact on New Zealand workplaces and the workforce.
Diversity Works New Zealand Interim Chief Executive, Adrienne Miller, said the award will be given to a programme or initiative that targets a diversity dimension or inclusion objective that is delivering positive benefits to workforce participation and engagement and productivity, whether at a workplace or industry level.
“Previously an organisation could enter an initiative only it was advancing a culture of diversity and inclusion within its own workplace,” said Miller.
“This meant we were unable to showcase some of the amazing work being done by service providers or industry representative groups impacting a broader subset of the workforce.”
Now in their 23rd year, the Diversity Awards NZ is an opportunity for New Zealand workplaces to celebrate the important work they are doing in the diversity space, share the lessons they have learned and take inspiration from other organisations building a more inclusive Aotearoa.
Entries are open and the addition of the new award brings the total number of categories to 10.
