Diversity Awards Scotland

Summary

Across our workplaces and in our communities we are continuing to see great examples of diversity and inclusion that matter and make a difference to people’s lives. Since our 2023 awards there have been outstanding examples of work being undertaken to support individuals and communities, deliver campaigns, change mind-sets and bring people together – the best of diversity and inclusion projects!

Fostering diversity and inclusion in the Scottish workplace remains a challenging endeavour, it does not happen overnight and involves dedication, hard work and advocacy from within organisations to make the necessary changes.

That is why The Herald and GenAnalytics are once again delivering the Diversity Awards in 2024. Building on the success of the awards in the past, we are proud to create a platform to recognise the outstanding work and commitment taking place across Scotland.

The 2024 Diversity Awards will once again showcase the Diversity & Inclusion Trailblazers, honouring those organisations and individuals who are actively investing time and energy into making their companies more inclusive and equitable places for all. Make sure you are a part of it.
