Microsoft 365 EqIA (Equality Impact Assessment)

An equality impact assessment (EqIA) helps your organisation ensure Microsoft 365 policies, practices and decisions are fair, meet the needs of staff and don’t inadvertently discriminate any protected group.

Although Microsoft 365 works seamlessly with Windows 10, giving staff access to tools and capabilities that meet multiple needs, it is still possible to create disadvantage for people who fall into the protected characteristic groups.

• We will identify where your Microsoft 365 planning might be disadvantaging staff
• We will provide a sustainable EqIA for your organisation with clear guidelines about how to update
