Policies
Policies have the power to drive diverse, inclusive and equitable organisations. They’re the bedrock of your organisation that everyone should be able to rely on and be guided by to keep things running smoothly.
The Clear Company can update your policies through an inclusion lens. We can renovate and review your policies, or start afresh with best practice templates, to help you:
Set the right tone with up to date, inclusive language throughout
Write in an accessible manner without off-putting jargon
Have the confidence that everyone feels seen and included by your policies
Create policies that actually work for your organisation – everyone knows what they mean and how they work
Popular policies we help with include bullying and harassment, family leave, LGBTQ+, menopause and flexible working – but the list is endless.

Anti-racism: Assess, act, advance
Racism is one of the most complex topics to tackle in workplace DEI, because – just like in the wider world - it reaches far beyond individual behaviours and thoughts; racism is structural and systemic. We know that it is not enough to simply be ‘non-racist’ – we need to be actively anti-racist.
Our Anti-Racism Maturity Model provides a comprehensive framework for measuring your organisation's progress in becoming anti-racist, forming the basis of our unique “3 A’s” solution.
We assess your organisation and the experience of employees of colour through four lenses:
Interpersonal
How psychologically safe do your employees of colour feel?
Institutional
Are there any systemic barriers or biases in your policies & practices, like recruitment, promotion and pay?
Cultural
Do you have an inclusive culture, celebrate racial diversity and support employee resource groups?
Leadership
How do your senior leaders hold themselves accountable for creating a racially equitable workplace?
Inclusive performance and talent management
Taking an inclusive, evidence-based approach to managing and rewarding your employees is a recipe for increased retention, engagement and innovation.
Areas we can support with:
Building HR capability, for a skilled and knowledgeable people team
Breaking down barriers to progression in your organisation. This includes recognising the potential for adverse impact in traditional performance and talent processes like the nine box grid.
Understanding how to create evidence-based processes that assess people as unique individuals
Understanding the levels of inclusivity and transparency in your formal and informal recognition schemes
Reviewing pay gaps, pay decision making and benefit provision
Specifically we look at any barriers to progression, how you identify and develop potential, how you manage and appraise performance, and how you promote and reward your employees.
Supplier diversity
Holistic DEI extends beyond your employees and your customers; it also means thinking about the diversity of your supply chain. Diversifying your procurement is a smart business move - helping you meet CSR requirements, position your organisation as a changemaker, strengthen your tenders and more.
We help you build and implement strategies for advancing supplier diversity to strengthen your competitive position whilst increasing and championing DEI across your supply chain.
Common supplier diversity challenges
We don’t know where to start to create a supplier diversity strategy
We need further stakeholder buy-in and alignment
We don’t know what best practice looks like
We want to report on our supplier diversity initiatives to our customers
We want to implement DEI standards for our suppliers
How we help
A successful supplier diversity program needs a strategic approach, an understanding of procurement and expert DEI knowledge – and we have the full package.
From assessing your current state right through to developing an action plan to raise the inclusion standards of your entire supply chain, trust us to transform your supplier diversity.
