The National Day for Staff Networks is the world’s only nationwide day dedicated to recognising networks/resource groups and the incredible value they add to the workplace. The next National Day for Staff Networks is Wednesday 13th May 2026 and this year's theme is:

​

#UnitingForEquity

​

The purpose of the National Day for Staff Networks is to shine a light and recognise the multiple benefits that staff networks/resource groups offer and in so many cases offer their organisation. Did you know that 66% of workers believe that networks help to foster an inclusive environment. Or that 70% of 18-24 year olds are more likely to apply to organisations with networks?
​

Networks are all about people, supporting the employee journey and inspiring a feeling of belonging. 

They need to be able to do this in an environment that is constantly shifting and networks need to be flexible, dynamic and ready for change.

​​

The national day for staff networks invites members of the entire 'eco-system' to celebrate the value that employee networks bring to the workplace. Be you an EDI practitioner, board sponsor/champion or an ally, this is a fantastic opportunity to connect, contribute and share your committment to others who are #MakingWorkBetter​​
