Only 33% are doing anything about it.

And that’s the gap.
Everyone wants inclusive growth.
Very few know how to build it.
Because equity isn’t a policy.
It’s a pattern.
And if your HR strategy isn’t spotting those patterns,
your business is scaling the wrong behaviours.
You know where this shows up most?
Performance reviews.
Not bonuses.
Not hiring.
Not leave policies.
But in the messy, misunderstood conversations that happen when someone isn’t performing...
↳ She’s emotional.
↳ He’s being assertive.
↳ She’s distracted.
↳ He’s under pressure.
↳ They’re not leadership material.
And it shapes careers - for better or worse.
That’s why we created this -
A completely free, instant-access Leadership Self-Assessment Tool for navigating tricky performance matters.
Built for anyone who has to lead through poor performance, tricky conversations, or team tension.
It focuses on the five riskiest performance themes we see in tribunals:
➊ Missed deadlines or underperformance
➋ Poor decisions or misconduct
➌ Conflict or poor communication
➍ Withdrawal, absenteeism or disengagement
➎ Patterns of behaviour that managers overlook
For each segment you’ll get:
✔️ Realistic trigger scenarios
✔️ What to ask vs what not to ask
✔️ Leadership reflection guidance
✔️ Legal risk lens (Equality Act 2010)
✔️ Risk rating colour code (Red, Amber, Green)
This is exactly what proactive HR looks like.
You don’t wait for tribunal to check your blind spots.
You self-check them now, before they cost you.
