Discover how we built life-enhancing support systems designed with absolute inclusivity and accessibility at their core.
Our Commitment
That's our understanding of diversity and inclusion.
We consciously commit to being an employer that accepts everyone. Diversity and inclusion is baked into everything we do-from office design, recruitment, development, and social events.
Sure, every company says they value diversity and inclusion. But how do we actually do it?
- Race at Work Charter Signatory. We have signed the charter to support the improvement of equal opportunities for Black, Asian, Mixed Race and ethnically diverse employees.
- Disability Confident Committee. This is a nationally recognised badge that demonstrates we support disabled employees and candidates, providing inclusive and fair recruitment.
We've been accepted because of the work we have already done and will continue to do in our commitment to ensure that all of us have equal opportunities during recruitment, progression, and development. Want to see more of this in action? Explore our culture.
Did you know?
70% of millennials and Gen Zers
...said they’re more likely to want to stay at a company for 5 years or longer if they prioritise diversity and inclusion (Deloitte).
That’s a lot of people! The importance of continuing to broaden our diverse culture makes sense for our people, our business and our future.
Modern Parental Leave Policies
We updated all our policies that relate to our colleagues taking time off work for pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for children to recognise there are many ways in which families raise children.
In addition to enhancing the benefits, we changed the language in our policies to remove gender pronouns and gender associations. In most instances, our policies do not refer to colleagues as 'him/her'; rather we have chosen terms like 'primary caregiver' and 'pregnant person' to be more welcoming and inclusive for parents from across the gender spectrum, those using shared parental rights and responsibilities, and to be reflective of the many shapes and sizes of families.
