This guide has been put together to provide guidance to companies operating within the offshore wind industry, with a view to helping these companies to improve their practices in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). EDI can be a complex endeavour, but when done in the right way EDI can significantly improve an organisation’s outputs and deliver a competitive advantage in the attraction, retention, innovation and productivity of staff. Additionally, investing in EDI is the right thing to do. As you will see from the IMPACT framework, data is crucially important to ensure that gaps in
representation and experience are identified in a holistic way. The use of data to identify gaps will also ensure that any improvement or deterioration can be measured and attributed to specific interventions. Equally important is having the ability to understand whether some interventions that you are engaged in are proving ineffective at resolving your most significant
issues.
