⚖️ Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy

Last updated: June 2025

At The Hive Collaborative, we believe that diversity drives excellence. We are committed to creating a workplace, learning environment, and community presence where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered—regardless of background, identity, or lived experience.

Our Commitment

• We celebrate and support differences in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, and neurodiversity.
• We actively challenge discrimination, unconscious bias, and systemic inequalities in all areas of our operations.
• Our team undergoes regular training on inclusion and unconscious bias, and our recruitment policies reflect this ethos.

Inclusive Learning & Workspaces

• Our training and consultancy services are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and culturally competent.
• We make reasonable adjustments for all learners and clients with additional needs, and strive to provide accessible formats and venues.
• We respect the pronouns and identities of all participants, colleagues, and clients.

Representation & Voice

• We work to ensure our materials, case studies, and imagery reflect the rich diversity of the communities we serve.
• We seek feedback from clients and learners on how we can improve our inclusivity, and act on it.
• We provide opportunities for underrepresented voices to shape our services and strategy.

Accountability

• All staff are expected to uphold this policy. Breaches are taken seriously and may result in disciplinary action.
• This policy is reviewed annually, and whenever significant change occurs in our workforce, services, or society.

Together, we create a culture of inclusion that enriches lives and improves outcomes—in the workplace and beyond.
