Not Practicing What They Preach
Pros
The ethos of the organisation SHOULD be about ensuring that DEI is at the heart of everything they do as that is what they sell to other organisations - it couldn't be further from what they are and how they operate...
Cons
My experience was of an organisation that had a completely toxic culture where racism, disability discrimination and a general air of favouritism for the few was the order of the day. Any complaints were ignored, people were demonised and pushed out - there was a revolving door where good people ended up leaving and the favoured were rewarded. The leadership and management had a culture of covering each other's backs and effectively condoning unprofessional and discriminatory behaviour. Rather than challenging and addressing these behaviours, something they advise and charge other organisations for - certainly NOT practising what they preach in any shape or form. The previous management had instigated this toxic culture and rather than addressing and mitigating this, the new management regime seems to have wholeheartedly embraced and enhanced this toxicity. Every time I see a post of enei's on various social media platforms, I shake my head in despair and disbelief at the utter hypocrisy. The experience I had working there was totally detrimental to my health and wellbeing and I know other colleagues had very similar experiences, which is a shameful indictment on an organisation that proclaims that it "helps employers build and maintain diverse teams and inclusive cultures"
