National Inclusion Week, founded by Inclusive Employers, is an essential week dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking actionable steps to create more inclusive workplaces. This year, from 23rd to 29th September, the theme is ‘Impact Matters’ – a powerful reminder that the real difference lies in our actions’ tangible effects on creating an inclusive environment. At Now Training, we recognise the importance of inclusion and the role that training plays in achieving meaningful change. Here, we explore why National Inclusion Week matters and how we can help you find the right training to make a lasting impact.

Why National Inclusion Week Is Important
National Inclusion Week is more than just a week of awareness; it’s a call to action for individuals, teams, and organisations to reflect, learn, and take steps towards creating more inclusive spaces. The theme ‘Impact Matters’ focuses on understanding, identifying, and measuring the effects of our inclusion efforts. It challenges us to move beyond good intentions and evaluate the real-world impact of our policies, behaviours, and practices on marginalised groups.
1. Understanding the Impact of Inclusion
Inclusion is not just about having a diverse workforce; it’s about ensuring that everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of their background. National Inclusion Week encourages us to assess whether our actions are making a measurable difference. Are we reducing barriers for marginalised groups? Are we fostering a sense of belonging? These are the questions that must drive any inclusion strategy.
2. Moving Beyond Awareness to Action
While raising awareness is crucial, the focus of National Inclusion Week is on the impact of our efforts. It’s about translating intentions into actions that genuinely improve the workplace experience for all. Businesses play a critical role in this process, not only by implementing inclusive policies but by creating a culture where everyone feels they belong. This involves transparent communication about progress and areas for improvement, and a commitment to continuous learning and development.
3. The Power of Inclusive Training
Training is a cornerstone of effective inclusion strategies. It equips individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to understand diverse perspectives, challenge biases, and engage in inclusive behaviours. Regular training on diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging ensures that these values are not just talked about but actively practised in the workplace. However, it’s essential that training goes beyond the basics and is tailored to your organisation’s specific needs.

2. Expertise in Vendor Management
With thousands of training providers available, finding the right fit can be overwhelming. Our expertise in learning vendor management allows us to source the most effective training providers, negotiate the best terms, and ensure high-quality delivery. We take the pressure off your teams, managing the entire process from start to finish so you can focus on what matters – creating an inclusive culture.
3. Continuous Learning and Evaluation
Inclusion is a continuous journey, not a one-off initiative. At Now Training, we offer ongoing support to ensure that your training remains relevant and evolves with your organisation’s needs. We help you measure the impact of your training efforts, providing valuable insights that can guide future strategies and ensure that your inclusion initiatives are making a real difference.
