Fighting climate change
We are dedicated to implementing environmentally friendly practices that contribute to a greener future. To achieve this, we have developed a comprehensive strategy that focuses on encouraging sustainable modes of transport and other initiatives.
We prioritise the use of public transportation for commuting purposes. Our employees are encouraged to utilise buses, trains, trams, and other forms of public transport whenever possible.
In addition to public transport, we actively promote alternative modes of transportation, such as cycling and walking to local staff and operate a cycle to work scheme with secure parking.
To further reduce the environmental impact of our travel, we actively promote video conferencing and virtual meetings as alternatives to business travel whenever feasible. By leveraging technology, we aim to minimise unnecessary air and road travel, thereby reducing CO2 emissions associated with transportation.
Through these initiatives, we are committed to promoting sustainable transport and travel, playing our part in reducing the impact of CO2 emissions. With the current carbon neutral offset program with help from Carbon Neutral Britain, we are a carbon neutral business.Tackling economic inequality
We commit to fostering enduring social value in tackling economic inequality through various initiatives:
1. Targeted Recruitment and Training: We prioritise engaging long-term unemployed, disabled individuals, and minorities through outreach and specialised training programs, aiming to provide meaningful employment opportunities and career advancement.
2. Apprenticeship and Work Experience: We offer apprenticeships and work placements, including the Cyber Security and Degree Apprenticeships, to equip individuals with necessary skills and support career development.
3. Schools and Colleges Outreach: We engage with educational institutions to raise awareness of career opportunities, deliver educational sessions, and support students in developing cyber skills.
4. Paid Placements for locally educated Individuals: We provide paid placements for city-educated individuals to gain practical experience and exposure to industry professionals.
5. Creating High-Skill Positions: We commit to creating high-skill positions in collaboration with local businesses to foster job growth and economic development.
6. Local Supplier Network: We prioritise local suppliers to bolster the economy and promote sustainable business practices, contributing to long-term economic and social progress.Equal opportunity
CYFOR are dedicated to upholding equality of opportunity for all employees and job applicants throughout their career journey.
CYFOR's Equal Opportunities policy applies universally across all staff levels and extends to visitors, clients, suppliers, and former employees, emphasising non-discrimination and equal treatment.
We actively monitor and assess our employment records to gauge the effectiveness of our equality policy. This includes:
1. Collecting and categorizing data on applicants' and employees' race/ethnicity and gender.
2. Analysing the distribution and success rates of applicants and employees based on race/ethnicity and gender.
3. Documenting recruitment, training, and promotion decisions and reasons.
Regular reviews of monitoring outcomes help evaluate policy implementation effectiveness. Adjustments are considered to enhance equality of opportunity for all.Wellbeing
The CYFOR Group wellbeing Policy aims to promote a holistic approach to the health and wellness of our employees, ensuring a supportive work environment that fosters physical, mental, and social wellbeing. This policy is a key component of our commitment to social value, demonstrating our dedication to the wellbeing of our community and stakeholders.
CYFOR Group is committed to fostering an environment that supports the well-being of all our employees and stakeholders. We recognise that our success is dependent on the health and happiness of our team, and we are committed to continuously seek ways to improve and promote wellbeing within our community.
The CYFOR Group policy applies to all employees, contractors, and stakeholders engaged with CYFOR Group. It encompasses all aspects of wellbeing including mental health, physical health, work life balance, and community engagement. The policy aims to address the following key elements:
1. Enhance Mental Health: Provide resources and support systems to promote mental health, including access to counselling services, mental health days, and training for managers to recognise and support mental health challenges.
