National Equality Standard (NES) founder Arun Batra won the HR Consultant of the year award for setting up the first every standard for equality in the workplace. Batra was presented the honour recently at the Management Consultancies Association (MCA) awards which reward top achievers in the management consulting industry over the last year.
A diversity champion in human resources, Batra was recognised for establishing the National Equality Standard (NES), the UK’s first ever industry-recognised standard for equality in the workplace. It is supported by the Home Office and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
Batra, who is also a director in EY’s advisory practice, said: “I am delighted and overwhelmed. This win would not be possible without my highly skilled team who understand how to navigate the complexities of diversity and inclusiveness in a business environment. One of the great things about our work is that it is driving much needed change in business and making a positive difference to people’s lives.”
