RTÉ’S RADICAL DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION OVERHAUL WELL UNDERWAY
A Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) charter that aims to help RTÉ create content that “reflects the diversity of an ever-evolving nation” has been largely implemented by the national
broadcaster despite pandemic disruption, with work ongoing on its long-term goals.
The strategy sees RTÉ aiming for 50/50 gender balance across the organisation as well as: 5% rising to a minimum of 10% of employees from a non-Irish background; 5% rising to a minimum of 8% of employees with a disability and; a minimum preliminary goal of 4% of employees who identify as LGBTQI.
The charter 2018-2022, which remains the guiding D&I strategy for RTÉ and is due to be reinforced by a detailed strategy document in the coming months, recommends and encourages a variety of measures RTÉ can, and has, undertaken to educate, integrate and champion D&I in its own workplace and across Ireland.
