The initiative brings together PoD employees, parents of PoD, and line managers in facilitated, confidential group sessions designed to surface practical insights and identify opportunities to improve workplace accessibility and employee experience. The sessions provide a safe and respectful forum for participants to share lived experiences and provide feedback. This approach helps ensure that PoD employees and their families have a voice in shaping decisions that affect their work and wellbeing. Inclusive Circles participants put forward 122 suggestions. Several of these led to tangible policy actions or reviews, including enhancements to flexible working arrangements, medical duty permissions, workplace accessibility measures and support benefits for parents of children with disabilities.
