About | Networks Day

What is the National Day for Staff Networks all about?

The National Day for Staff Networks (aka Networks Day) is the day where organisations celebrate employee networks across the United Kingdom who rise up as a community and lead the way for change in the workplace. This isn't just about the day; it's about the movement!

Launched on 10th May 2017, Networks Day has quickly become an established event in the diversity calendar; and rightly so!

The day presents an opportunity for them to celebrate the contribution, inspire with their stories and offer insight into the lived experiences of underrepresented colleagues and transform the organisation. Networks can be an effective voice for colleagues and work with the business to create more inclusive environment where all employees, that want to, can progress.

When networks understand their Network Value Proposition, they can demonstrate how they add value to the workplace environment and business outcomes. When they harness their innovation, amplify their voice and advocate inclusion, change happens and they #MakeWorkBetter.

Take a look at how we have celebrated over the years
