• Equal opportunity:

  Equal opportunity

  When an employee is onboarded they complete our standard Equality, Diversity and Inclusion questionnaire which is then reviewed by their line manager and HR representation. We also conduct an annual Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Survey in support to support this initial activity. The yearly survey is completely optional and although staff are encouraged to complete it is not a mandatory requirement. It allows us to monitor how well we are performing in ensuring that we are an inclusive, equal and diverse workplace. More importantly, it gives us a further platform for progress and accountability. It is also an opportunity to step back and celebrate the work we’ve done as an organisation to create an environment where people are encouraged to be themselves and to speak up about the issues that matter to them. Championing inclusion and diversity, and role modelling the right behaviours must happen at all levels and corners of our organisation. This is vital if we are to really create an organisation where the principles of equality, fairness and inclusivity are woven into our DNA – whether that’s how we recruit, how we communicate or anything else. There is a particular responsibility on the leadership tiers within our service towers to lead the way in this work. This makes it important that our management team commit to investing their time into understanding what needs to be done and take personal responsibility for making sure it happens when areas of adjustment or improvement are identified.
