What do the 360 degrees mean?
It means you will show leadership and commitment to diversity, inclusion and visibility at all levels. Leadership is about people. It’s about all those who contribute to the task including executives, directors, HR team, interns, casting agents, delivery partners, creatives, speakers, performers, make-up artists… when we say 360 degrees, we mean everyone. It’s imperative to understand that leadership and learning go hand in hand – there is no set rule on who ‘can’ be the game-changer in the organisation: we can all make a difference.
Signatories to this Charter commit to taking tangible actions to ensure the communications (internal and external), events (they organise, sponsor, support or take part in), and marketing activities are increasingly more diverse and most importantly inclusive. They commit to do so in a visible and accountable way to role model best practice. Moreover, although primarily focused on communications, events and marketing, the spirit of the DIVents Charter is equally applicable to any other output including internal and external recruitment, PR, operations, and more.
