This concept emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, and mutual respect among colleagues in order to achieve common goals and objectives.
When employees feel a sense of oneness at work, they are more likely to be engaged and committed to the organization’s mission and values. This can lead to increased productivity, better communication, and a more positive work environment.

We are a social enterprise and our mission is to create an inclusive environment for all and fix leaky pipelines from which diverse talent are lost.
We support the growth of diverse talent, in an equitable way, ensuring they are well represented within the organisational hierarchy.
Equal representation with respect to equity means that all individuals have an equal opportunity to be represented in decision-making processes and institutions, having accounted for historical or systemic disadvantages they may have faced.
Inequality (inequity), a lack of diversity, and a lack of inclusion is a recognised problem in the UK higher education sector. This is especially noticeable amongst postgraduate research students. The problems span several characteristics (e.g. gender, age, and disability), but there has been a particular focus recently on ethnicity, race and alma mater (where their previous degree was awarded from).
Ultimately, achieving equity requires a commitment to understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by all.
