Diversity, equity and inclusion (EDI) can no longer be an afterthought, especially in the creative industries, where innovation depends on the richness of talent and perspective.
When a growing creative agency in the UK struggled to put their EDI values into practice, Sleek HR stepped in to design a future-proof strategy. Here’s how we helped them go from stalled intentions to measurable business growth.
The Problem: The agency had good intentions but lacked structure. They faced challenges like:
- No clear workforce demographics
- Difficulty attracting diverse candidates
- Disengagement from underrepresented employees
- Outdated, inconsistent policies
The Solution: Sleek HR partnered with the leadership team to:
- Collect and analyse workforce data
- Set EDI goals with accountability across leadership
- Redesign policies to support inclusive hiring and progression
- Strengthen their employer brand among diverse talent pools
The Results:
- 40% increase in applications from underrepresented groups
- 30% boost in employee engagement
- Higher retention, especially among minority groups
- A respected brand reputation that attracted new clients and talent
Key Insight: You can’t fix inclusion with goodwill alone. You need strategy, structure, and data.
