Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Starter Kit

Accessible Auditing and Consultancy for any size business

Diversity and Inclusion Starter Kit

Inclusion shouldn’t feel overwhelming, expensive, or “not for businesses like ours”.

 

The SME Inclusion Starter Kit is designed for small and medium-sized organisations who want to do inclusion properly — but don’t have a dedicated D&I team, big budgets, or time for jargon-heavy frameworks.

 

This kit gives you a clear starting point. It helps you understand where you are now, what matters most for your organisation, and what practical steps to take next, without box-ticking or guesswork.

“We love working with Your D+I. Their detailed knowledge about the DE&I topics is something that opened our eyes and helped us start on our own DE&I journey. They helped us audit our Recruitment and Hiring processes, made recommendations for our online presence to make it more accessible and inclusive.

 

They brought new perspectives to the team with their educational workshops. Chris is always available for a chat and quick to answer a question, and we thank him and the whole team at Your D+I for their support and dedication!”

Who the SME starter kit is for?

 

  • SMEs who want to start inclusion work but don’t know where to begin.

  • Business owners and leaders who care about culture but need practical guidance.

  • HR or People leads wearing multiple hats.

  • Organisations that want to build good foundations before training or audits.

  • SMEs preparing for growth, funding, or standards like B Corp.

If you’ve ever thought “we know inclusion matters, but we’re not sure what to actually do”, this kit was built for you.

Why inclusion matters for small businesses.

Inclusion isn’t just a “big company” issue.

 

For SMEs, poor culture, unclear expectations, or unchecked behaviour can have a big impact.

 

Getting inclusion right early helps SMEs:

  • Retain good people.

  • Reduce conflict and HR issues.

  • Build trust as they grow.

  • Create clearer expectations around behaviour and language.

  • Lay strong foundations for future audits, training, or certification.

 

This starter kit helps you put those foundations in place.

Three Convenient Phases

Planning

Assessment

Education

Everything is designed to be practical, flexible, and realistic for SMEs.

Supporting your B Corp journey

Many SMEs use the Starter Kit as part of their B Corp preparation or recertification.

 

The tools and insights can help you:

  • Strengthen evidence around people, equity and governance.

  • Identify gaps early and address them practically.

  • Build inclusion into your wider impact narrative.

  • Feel more confident when answering B Impact Assessment questions.

 

You don’t need to be “B Corp ready” to use the kit — but it can support you if that’s where you’re heading.

A simple place to start

You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need a starting point.

The SME Inclusion Starter Kit gives you clarity, structure, and practical next steps, without judgement or overwhelm.
