Greater Manchester People Inclusion Standards

As leading public sector organisations in a pioneering, progressive and vibrant city-region, we are setting the standard for what inclusive workplaces look like.

We want to support our valued and diverse communities in Greater Manchester to thrive in work, yet we understand that we must develop as organisations, to create a workplace where all people feel they belong and are appreciated.

Collaboratively crafted between organisations and colleagues, the GM People Inclusion Standards showcase our united commitment across the city-region to drive forwards inclusivity and equity throughout everything we do!

These Standards are our overarching vision for workplace inclusion, which will propel us in the right direction and allow us to identify opportunities for improvement, while dismantling unhelpful systems.
