THE BUSINESS CASE FOR DIVERSITY


WHAT DO WE OFFER?

The Certification Process


ABOUT US

Nau mai, tomo mai ki tō mātou pae tukutuku ō Rainbow Tick.
Rainbow Tick is a certification mark for organisations that complete a Diversity
& Inclusion assessment process.

Rainbow Tick is about accepting and valuing people in the workplace, embracing
the diversity of sexual and gender identities. A supportive work environment
that is accepting of peoples’ differences benefits everybody in your
organisation.

The certification process tests whether a workplace understands and welcomes
sexual and gender diversity. The process involves an on-going quality
improvement process.

Getting the Rainbow Tick allows you to show employees, customers and the wider
world that you are a progressive, inclusive and dynamic organisation that
reflects the community you are based in.

‘Rainbow’ refers to people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
takatāpui and intersex (LGBTTQIA+).

your own organisation.

We want to get started!

THE BUSINESS CASE FOR DIVERSITY

International research shows that diverse and inclusive workplaces are more
likely to attract high quality applicants, retain staff, and boost productivity.
When an organisation encourages its employees to bring their whole selves to
work, these employees are more efficient, more productive, and more loyal to the
organisation. When an organisation allows its staff to fully be themselves, it
reflects the wider society and is better connected and aware of the full
potential of its market. A truly diverse and inclusive environment is directly
linked to enhanced performance and strengthened brand reputation.

THE BENEFITS OF RAINBOW TICK

ATTRACTING GOOD EMPLOYEES AND KEEPING THEM

Members of the Rainbow Community can pass through an organisation without being
seen, as an ‘invisible minority’. If they decide the environment is not
welcoming and affirming, they can move on quickly, wasting the investment in
their time and training.  Increasingly, Rainbow Community members are not
willing to place their skills, enthusiasm and talents in the service of
organisations where they are merely tolerated. Organisations need to be
pro-active in including these population groups.

BRAND ENHANCEMENT

People are increasingly considering the implications of their purchasing power.
An organisation’s attitudes to sexual orientation and gender identity are
important indicators of its integrity and sincerity in embracing the whole
community. An organisation that is seen to be discriminatory or insensitive in
this area can expect fast, negative and often costly consequences.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE AND RISK MITIGATION

Discrimination on the grounds of sexuality and gender identity are illegal in
New Zealand, but not all employers or staff know how this applies or what the
penalties are for non-compliance. Ensuring that all staff are informed on the
requirement to be non-discriminatory is a simple act of risk mitigation.

Diversity & Inclusion training and policies are not about political correctness.
It’s about appreciating the skills, knowledge and personal attributes of
everyone we work with. It’s about being able to connect better with colleagues
and customers by understanding things from their point of view; valuing
differences and their contribution to the richness of the organisation.
