We’re so excited to officially launch our 2026 Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Calendar - a free, practical resource designed to help organisations move beyond awareness and towards real, measurable culture change.
Following the incredible response to our 2025 DE&I Calendar, we’ve refined and evolved this year’s edition to focus even more clearly on actions that make a genuine difference in the workplace.
A DE&I Calendar designed for real workplaces
Many Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Calendars focus on highlighting awareness days and while these dates are important, organisations are often left asking:
“What should we actually do to make an impact?”
Our 2026 DE&I Calendar is designed to answer that question.
Rather than simply listing dates, this calendar provides practical, action-led activities that help organisations embed inclusion into everyday working life. It supports leaders, managers and teams to move away from tick-box approaches and towards meaningful, long-term inclusion.
What makes our 2026 DE&I Calendar different?
Every entry in the calendar is built to be used, not just referenced. Inside our calendar, you’ll not only find the key Diversity, Equity & Inclusion awareness dates for 2026, but also:
-
Practical activities that support inclusion, wellbeing and belonging.
-
A strong focus on impact over performative action.
-
Clear impact areas outlining what each activity is designed to improve.
-
A suggested format to make implementation straightforward and scalable.
This structure helps organisations turn good intentions into consistent, achievable action.
Supporting meaningful inclusion and culture change
The activities included are designed to help organisations:
-
Strengthen inclusion and belonging across teams.
-
Support employee wellbeing in meaningful, human ways.
-
Build cultural awareness and confidence at all levels.
-
Drive long-term cultural improvement, not one-off moments.
You don’t need to do everything at once. In fact, we encourage organisations to start small - by choosing one activity or one focus area and build momentum over time. Consistent action creates sustainable change.
Who is the DE&I Calendar for?
The calendar is designed for organisations of all sizes and sectors, particularly those who want to:
-
Improve workplace culture
-
Embed DE&I into everyday business practices
-
Support inclusive leadership and people management
-
Move beyond awareness into action
Whether you’re continuing the journey from our 2025 calendar or discovering it for the first time, this resource is designed to support practical progress.
