Using the latest evidence and research, we champion action on the ground to improve staff experience and organisational culture.
Our work is underpinned by the NHS Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Improvement Plan, it also links to the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan 2023 and is shaped by three principles: leadership, accountability and equity.
These principles are echoed in the NHS People Plan and specifically the ambitions to look after our people and create a sense of belonging in our workplaces.
