Diverse and Inclusive Workforce & Needs Assessment
A Needs Assessment on diversity within the workforce is being conducted across all museums in the West Midlands region. Museums will be invited to participate in a survey from 22 January.
10 museums will then be invited to participate in a specific Workforce Programme, which will look at practices and improvements across recruitment, retention and staff development. This will take the format of three workshops to be held on the following dates:
- Friday 4 March – The Hive, Sawmill Walk, The Butts, Worcester, WR1 3PD
- Thursday 17 March – Ironbridge Gorge Museums Trust, Coach Rd, Coalbrookdale, Shropshire TF8 7DQ
- Wednesday 23 March – Newcastle Borough Museum and Art Gallery, Brampton Park, Newcastle under Lyme, Staffs ST5 0QP
All workshops will run from 10am -4pm
Each museum will receive a full report and suggested action plan. A toolkit will be produced to share best practice amongst the museum sector to help develop a more diverse and inclusive workforce and volunteer base.
This will support Section 1: Organisational Health of the Accreditation Standard.
