The HRB are proud to have received the Investors in Diversity Bronze award accredited by Irish Centre for Diversity, this achievement highlights our commitment to embedding diversity and inclusion across our organisation.

Commenting on the accreditation Dr Mairéad O’Driscoll, Chief Executive at the HRB said:

“The achievement of the Diversity in Bronze award sets a strong foundation for the long-term approach to establishing a culture of diversity and inclusion in our workplace.”

Over the past six months, members of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee have been working with Irish Centre for Diversity to develop their learning about diversity in the workplace. The Committee undertook leadership training to build their knowledge and understanding of inclusive leadership, while also enhancing their awareness of how best to engage and support teams to reach their potential.

The committee worked to review organisational policies, to ensure they were in line with current legislation and to develop a diversity policy.

The EDI committee will continue to build upon existing initiatives, and with the support of the Irish Centre for Diversity will work towards achieving the Investors Diversity in Silver award.
