  Fighting climate change

  We have best practice policies that embed and support Carbon Reduction Planning in support of Green Initiatives such as NHS Net Zero. Please follow the link below for our Carbon Reduction Plan, completed in accordance with PPN 06/21: Carbon Reduction Plan. ; Our commitment to a liveable and low carbon city is further evidenced by our ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and ISO 50001 Energy Management accreditation. Initiatives and ongoing activities we will commit to throughout the Framework Agreement include:; ; Net Zero; Our carbon neutral status is based on having calculated and offset all aspects of our Scope 1 and 2 and selected aspects of our Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Our Science-Based Targets (SBT) have been approved by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi). ; ; These targets are a key part of our ambition to be the first global specialist recruitment firm to reach Net Zero. This landmark step demonstrates firm commitment to fighting climate change, and our targets are consistent with reductions to keep warming to 1.5˚C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement. ; ; Internal Initiatives; Ongoing initiatives that are reducing our carbon emissions and supporting the environment include:; •Zero heroes – our dedicated employees who are on a mission to banish single-use plastics across all our offices in the UK and Ireland.; •Recycling IT Equipment – We have collected unnecessary IT equipment from our offices across the UK to donate to schools via Education. ; •Partnering environmental charity Trees for Cities – for tree-planting initiatives and conservation projects in cities across the UK. ; •Energy switched to renewables – Where possible we switched energy supply to renewable sources. ; •Sustainable stationary supplier – the only major carbon neutral stationary supplier and the only supplier in their industry to be ETI accredited.

  Covid-19 recovery

  Emposo is providing the local community in need of support with upskilling training via My Learning and our App to help improve their employability and various technical skills. By engaging with our learning tools, local residents will enrich their profiles and gain greater access to value added careers services. ; We can offer social value through our job seeking skills programmes. These target out of work residents and support them to develop the sustainable skills required.; ; Since returning from COVID, we have introduced a Hybrid working pattern for all employees. We allow staff to start/finish early or late to help them accommodate family commitments. Staff can also formally apply to change their hours/working pattern.; •Appropriate channels for effective voice – For our staff Employee Engagement each year, we conduct Your Voice, our global employee engagement survey. ; •Investment in workforce development – All employees receive extensive training when they start working at Emposo.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Collaboratively, we will review the issues and identify opportunities to create meaningful employment opportunities for those facing barriers including:; •Long-term unemployed; •Low-income individuals; •Ethnic minority groups; •School/college leavers; •Care leavers; •Newly arrived citizens; •Disabled; •Homeless; •Returning to work after a prolonged absence; •People facing digital exclusion; •Ex-offenders.; ; All roles will be advertised within local job centres and we’ll utilise our partners to reach under-represented groups and those who have been long term unemployed.; Some examples of ways in which we can further create opportunities for those who face barriers to employment include: ; ; Project Flourish – in collaboration with EveryYouth®; The project is dedicated to improving the social mobility of some of the most disadvantaged young people in the UK, through an employability programme which helps them gain employment and, just as importantly, develop and ‘flourish’ once in their new role. In order to develop this pro-bono service to selected clients, it was essential to understand the challenges and opportunities, along with the level of resource and support already available.; ; For young residents who need support with independent living, we can network them with project flourish to support them into meaningful paid employment. For example, Emposo has placed a young woman from Ukraine into its own central services team for a year placement through this programme, adapting our usual recruitment interview process to support them and build their confidence.; ; Ex-Services Opportunities; Emposo is a forces friendly employer. We know that throughout their military careers, reservists and veterans develop a variety of skills and qualities transferable to the civilian workplace, including planning, process, strategy, problem solving and, of course, teamwork.; ; We have also signed the Armed Forces Covenant to show our support and commitment and we hold the Gold award in the Defence Employer

  Equal opportunity

  Our approach ensures we develop a database and talent pools which are ever more diverse, improving the candidate reach of our clients, and we look to create employment and training opportunities, particularly for those who face barriers to employment. ; We have acquired a majority stake in FAIRER Consulting (formerly Vercida Consulting). FAIRER Consulting are specialist DE&I consultants and pioneers in the fields of diversity, equity and inclusion. ; As part of the Solutions & Advisory Services at Emposo. they are an inclusion management company that supports businesses around the world to expand and diversify their talent pools and to create inclusive work cultures in three key areas: education, leadership and consulting. ; Building Talent Pools; We believe that DEI is a key consideration in recruitment and selection, and our work internally and externally with clients supports the principle that recruitment should always be on merit, by fair and open competition. We have designed a consultant checklist around eight core stages of the hiring process that we will share with the customer and following subsequent agreement, deploy to support DEI commitments. ; We utilise diversity-specific job boards to drive engagement across specific communities. We work with over 100 job boards, including diversity specific platforms, alongside our strategic partnerships with various affinity groups who all specialise in reaching currently underrepresented parts of the community. ; We also have strategic relationships with several affinity groups which support commitments to increase greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Our strategic partnerships include: ; •Black Young Professionals (BYP) – with a network of 50,000 members (and fast rising) from a wide range of professional skill sets; •The Alliance Network – brings together LGBTQ+ professionals and staff networks; •MyGWork – the business community for LGBT+ professionals, students, inclusive employers and anyone who believes in workplace equality.

  Wellbeing

  To create a community of acceptance and remove stigma, continuous consistent communication is key. We can implement campaigns that showcases mental health should be a daily task. With all workers, we will provide access to POWR by Wrkit, a simple-to-use online tool that helps individuals learn the skills to improve their wellbeing. It looks at different aspects of their life and gives them a personalised plan to manage their own mental health.; ; In collaboration with the customer, we can create awareness by releasing monthly wellbeing newsletters and quarterly wellbeing webinars for internal staff/candidates that highlight national initiatives/topics (i.e., mental health awareness week), embed links to TedTalks/YouTube, blogs or wellbeing courses and links to various resources available. We can run campaigns with the customers aligned mental health topics via email/social media (i.e., like we did with LiWW here) and can signpost people to Wellbeing courses via our My Learning Platform, including how to deal with stressful situations or overworking. ; ; Wellbeing; We want our people to feel happy, healthy and productive every day of the week. We know that many factors influence our wellbeing; it can be work, relationships, health or money worries or a combination of many factors. At Emposo, we may not be able to solve all these challenges, but we can offer an environment at work where, each and every, one of us feels supported in when things do not go so well or are not quite right. We aim to offer a more holistic approach to wellbeing that accommodates the varying needs of our employees. As such, our overall employee wellbeing strategy is made up of 4 key pillars; My Life, My Health, My Money and My Work Environment. Each is as important as the next, because we know they all have a knock-on effect on each other.
