CREATING A PROGRESSIVE & INCLUSIVE ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE AMBITION

Our objectives are to enhance the skills, wellbeing and personal development of our workforce and ensure that MASH is a kind, brave, well managed and sustainable organisation. We will build the structures, processes and capacity needed to enable MASH to continue to work flexibly and responsively to women’s needs.

We will do this by:

Investing in our People Strategy to support a working environment where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered. We will increase the representation of diverse groups in the workforce, focus on inclusive recruitment, on development and progression opportunities and on growing talent within our organisation. We will have a strong focus on good mental health and wellbeing for all of our people and support for our staff with disabilities.

Developing a Lived Experience Leaders pathway for our service users to develop their skills to become leaders in MASH and other organisations, underpinned by our workforce wellbeing programme.

Implementing robust Fundraising and Communications strategies to effectively resource stability, sustainability and growth and to share women’s stories, reaching more stakeholders.

Focus on reducing our carbon footprint and developing our environmental policies.

Promoting a live learning culture within MASH to enable us to respond, reflect and proactively hone and adapt our ways of working and approaches. Share our learning with our partners to influence change.

Embedding DEI into every aspect of our organisation and developing action plans which create and sustain a truly inclusive culture at MASH. This will include the formation of a DEI task force of trustees, staff, volunteers and staff to hold us to account on our commitments.
