The Inclusion Maturity Curve
The Inclusion Maturity Curve
In 2025, over 90 of the UK’s foremost organisations across the Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail sectors participated, and this figure looks set to rise in 2026. Will your organisation be among them?
Developed in partnership with the Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes Business School, the Inclusion Maturity Curve is a unique, industry-backed framework. This assessment enables you to measure the maturity and impact of your company’s inclusion initiatives, policies and practices and the progress you are making in building a diverse and inclusive organisation.
"Taking part in the Maturity Curve has really helped us as a business deliver on being a best-in-class employer." Kirstie Loveridge, Executive Vice President, People and Culture at AEG Europe
