NAPIT highlights a range of initiatives it is undertaking and has called for companies across the industry to take similar steps.
Since its formation, NAPIT has had EDI practices in place for the interests of staff, members and customers alike.
This year, NAPIT aims to promote these initiatives to encourage other companies across the board to join and make the industry a more inclusive place to work.
It is common knowledge that the trades within the sector are male-dominated, so NAPIT actively supports women in the electrical industry.
NAPIT’s Equality and Diversity policy is firmly in place to ensure that no member, employee or customer is disadvantaged when doing business with them due to age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marriage or civil partnership.
Mike Andrews, NAPIT Group Chief Executive, said: “NAPIT value diversity, and we appreciate how people from different backgrounds can bring new ideas and initiatives to their work and profession.
“At NAPIT, we want to promote equal opportunities to everyone and ensure that all of our employees, members and customers feel valued and appreciated.
“We are hoping to raise awareness and open people’s minds to the benefits of equality and diversity practices so that they can take advantage of a greater mix of skills, experiences and ideas, as well as improved performance and profitability.”
