NEW! The Impact of Workplace Inclusion on Mental Health of Employees
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Week, we are delighted to launch a new and unique piece of research produced in partnership with the NHS approved mental health app Thrive. The research undertaken explores the correlation between perceived levels of inclusion within the workplace and overall mental health. This report provides analysis from an in-depth survey within the HTL and Retail sectors and gives practical advice to ensure that organisations can best manage the wellbeing of their teams.
We have also produced a podcast on the same topic hosted by WiHTL/DiR Director Joanna Auñon and introducing guests Andres Fonseca, CEO & Co-Founder of Thrive and Kerri Bailey, a Research Scientist for Thrive. Their conversation focuses on the results of this survey and how it makes business sense to focus on inclusive practices.

It aims to provide our community with greater understanding of this topic through references to current thought leadership, a case study and highlighting leading research in this area.
With contributions from André Flemmings (WHSmith), Donna Catley (Compass) and Justine Greening (Social Mobility Pledge).
Employee Network Groups
in HTL & Retail Toolkit
Following the success of our Employee Network Groups (ENG) in HTL & Retail Conference at the beginning of February, we are pleased to launch a Toolkit covering the insights, learnings and experiences shared by members of the WiHTL and DiR Collaboration Community during the event, as well as little gems uncovered through one to one conversations, panel discussions, surveys, polls and personal experiences.
If you are thinking of setting up an employee resource group, this Toolkit provides inspiration and guidance. If you have been running one for some time and are looking for more engagement and impact, you will learn from the advice of leaders, ENG chairs and Executive Sponsors that have used these networks successfully to drive meaningful change and deliver value to their members and wider organisation.

Gender Pay Gap in HTL Report
In partnership with PwC, we are delighted to launch a new report exploring research into the current state of the gender pay gap in the HTL sector.
Against the backdrop of the social inequality highlighted during COVID-19 and the delayed gender pay gap deadline of last October, the report highlights the progress made in our sector to close the gender pay gap and analyses the potential impact of the pandemic on inclusion, diversity and fairness as focus areas for employers, employees, customers and investors.
The report also draws upon a number of case studies from across the HTL sector and contains specific recommendations to employers on how to close the gender pay gap.
