Help shape more inclusive workplaces in law
The Law Society has launched a new research project looking at how organisations across the legal sector are building inclusive workplace cultures – and they want to hear from as many firms and in-house teams as possible before it closes on 12 October.
The Inclusive Cultures research project is gathering real examples of what’s being tried around EDI, wellbeing, leadership and everyday working practices. Crucially, it isn’t looking for polished success stories. The Law Society wants to understand what’s worked, what’s been difficult, and what’s been learned along the way, including things that are still in progress or haven’t gone to plan. That honesty is what will shape the practical guidance they produce next.
Why we’re sharing this
Inclusion and wellbeing are closely connected. A workplace where people feel able to be themselves is also one where they’re more likely to feel supported when things get difficult – something we talked about with Dr I. Stephanie Boyce CBE on The Legal Pause, when she spoke about breaking down barriers and helping people remain and thrive in the profession. Research like this helps build a fuller picture of what actually makes a difference.
Taking part
The questionnaire takes about 25 minutes and is open to a wide range of people: EDI, inclusion, people and wellbeing professionals, senior leaders, and anyone else responsible for workplace culture, at organisations of any size and at any stage of their journey.
Everything you share is treated in confidence. Your organisation’s practices won’t be published, and if the Law Society ever wants to feature your example, they’ll ask your permission first.
