Diversity & Equality Campaigns

Recruiting a diverse workforce has several tangible business benefits. VONQ can help incorporate your diversity and equality strategy into your online recruitment advertising campaigns.

Online recruitment advertising opens up more diverse talent pools compared to traditional print media. Online recruitment is easily measurable unlike print media, meaning we can help you track and report on the various diverse groups you are trying to attract.

In 2001, the Race Relations Act was amended to give public authorities a new statutory duty to promote race equality. The aim is to help public authorities to provide fair and accessible services, and to improve equal opportunities in employment. In December 2006, the Disability Equality Duty (DED) legislation, which is part of the Disability Discrimination Act became law. This law covers around 45,000 organisations, under which they are legally obliged to promote equal opportunities for disabled people in the UK.

Benefits of a diverse workforce include:

•   Having a wider range of resources, skills and ideas to tap into
•   Improving the reputation of your employer brand as a diverse business
•   Improving staff retention - reducing overall recruitment and training costs.
•   Increasing employee efficiency and lowering stress due to cross-functional teams, ie employees are capable of a variety of roles thanks to their different backgrounds and skill sets
•   Avoiding claims of unfair treatment or discrimination

VONQ has access to a variety of online specialist media that can greatly improve the visibility of your vacancies within ethnic communities, and towards disabled candidates.
