Creating an Inclusive Workplace

We are committed to fairness and inclusion throughout the employee experience – from recruitment and selection to development, progression and everyday working life.

Our recruitment and selection practices are designed to support fair and inclusive decision-making. These include inclusive job specifications, balanced interview panels and dedicated learning on unconscious bias and inclusive recruitment for those involved in recruitment and selection.

We recognise that people may require different supports to participate fully at work. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations throughout recruitment and employment and encourage candidates and employees to let us know about any support they may need.

Our policies and people practices are designed to support a fair, respectful and inclusive workplace and are reviewed as our organisation and the needs of our people continue to evolve.

We aim to ensure that our training pathways are supportive, accessible and responsive to the evolving needs of healthcare professionals throughout their careers.

Developing Inclusive Practice

Creating an inclusive organisation requires us to build knowledge, awareness and confidence across RCPI. We invest in learning and development that supports inclusive behaviours and decision-making. This has included: Inclusive Leadership training for leaders, a bespoke WIDE training programme, developed in-house and available to all employees through our Learning Management System, covering topics including unconscious bias, inclusive behaviours and practices, and wellbeing WIDE learning and awareness activities for employees, Townhalls, workshops as well as ‘lunch and learn’ sessions to learn from lived experience. We continue to develop our learning offer so that wellbeing, inclusion, diversity and equality are understood and put into practice in day-to-day work.
