Diversity, Equity
‍& Inclusion

In 2020, we appointed Non-Executive board member, Lenna Cumberbatch, to help us embed an inclusive approach to everything we do. She provides the expertise that is required when considering our D&I initiatives and advises on our processes to ensure they are accessible, fair, and inclusive.

We have taken time to assess our processes, policies and initiatives and ensured we have a strategy in place to support these. Our strategy helps us, keeps us on track, holds ourselves accountable and provides clear messaging on what we are working towards.

To achieve our aim of advancing inclusion in recruitment we created an internal D&I working group, with representatives from all areas of our business. With internal and external objectives, the group work together to create and implement our ideas.

Our employees receive training across the topics of the nine characteristics identifying our unconscious bias, best practice and positive action.

We understand that we need to work to remove the barriers that exist in our industry and organisation. Some key examples of our inclusive initiatives that help us drive fundamental change include.

Internally we aim to ensure we are representative of the locations we operate in. Benchmarking against useful datasets, such as ONS, Scope, Stonewall and other specialist organisations, allows us to measure our progress.

Through looking at ourselves, investing, and learning, we’ve been able to share and embed knowledge when supporting our clients with their recruitment.
