National Inclusion Week 2026: Build Trust, Navigate Change
This week is National Inclusion Week, and the theme, Build Trust, Navigate Change, is what good HR practice should be.
For us, that means inclusive recruitment processes that do not quietly filter people out before they have had a fair chance. It means apprenticeships and genuine routes into work for people who might otherwise be overlooked. It means EDI practices that are built into how your business actually operates and not just a policy that will sit unread in a folder.
It also means something much harder to measure - making sure a persons individual circumstances don't get lost the moment a difficult employee relations situation starts, a grievance, a restructure, a disciplinary. It is easy to follow a fair process but harder to make sure the person going through it still feels like they are seen.
That's what building trust looks like in HR, not a one off training session or a slogan for this one week in September. Fair process, real opportunity, and never losing sight of the person in the middle. That is the whole of Legacy Strategies in one sentence.
What does inclusion look like in your HR practice this year?
