DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

IHEEM recognises that an important first step in creating an inclusive culture is to understand why diversity and inclusion are beneficial in engineering.

In addition, UK engineering is facing serious skills shortages. Addressing diversity and inclusion will not only help bridge this gap, but it will also help drive innovation and creativity. As the UKs largest institute for the healthcare engineering and efm sector, it is our responsibility to raise awareness, inform and educate our members on certain topics.

The Institute continue to provide resources, guidance, and practical and technical advice to inform all our members on the workforce and prevalence of inclusive cultures across engineering industry.


Inform

By informing our members and identifying barriers, we are ensuring there is inform actions and recommendations on diversity and inclusion, with clear articulation of the importance of an inclusive engineering workforce that works for everyone.


Educate

To educate our members we have interaction between D&I champions, majority allies, engineering leaders, Fellows, and the wider profession through training and events to share knowledge and best practice on diversity and Inclusion.
