Motion: Diversity and Inclusion

As we are now living in a growingly diverse community - and the richness in which that brings to our workplaces, homes and communities - FODC believes that a diverse workplace is important for embedding anti-racism. As such, the Fermanagh and Omagh Council should show leadership by having a diverse and welcoming workforce.

 We therefore propose that FODC commits to; 

• conducting an annual review of its workforce demographics
• developing strategies to increase diversity across all levels of its employment
• comprehensively train all employees on diversity and inclusion, including areas such as unconscious bias and inclusive communication. 
• apply outreach positive action to encourage candidates, from diverse backgrounds, for any available posts.
