Speaking at the launch of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion (ENEI), the organisation’s chair Sir Trevor Phillips has urged an end to the view that “employers are bad guys in red braces who don’t want women to prosper”.

He adds: “My experience of most big employers and indeed many small employers is that they want their businesses to feel like places where […] anyone can prosper.”

Phillips also said the launch of ENEI represents “the hard bit” but also “the really exciting part” in the move towards great equality and inclusion in the workplace.
