  Fighting climate change

  Investigo created an Environmental and Sustainability committee in 2023, co-led by two Directors in the business with a passion for positively impacting our journey to net zero. The committee has three pillars, led by people of all levels throughout the business - Data, Strategy, and Hearts and Minds. Through these groups, we understand the impact of our activities and formulate effective strategies to mitigate climate change and to achieve our net zero goals.; ; In 2022, Investigo entered into a partnership with Trees for Cities, we set ourselves the target of planting 1000 trees per year. We plant a tree for every 3 successful placements made with our Clients.

  Covid-19 recovery

  During the Covid-19 pandemic, Investigo adapted to support not only our internal employees by providing laptops and flexible working arrangements, but our customers too. For example; providing solutions to kickstart a transformation programme by creating digital delivery teams with experienced contractors in this field. With our large network of digital professionals we helped to build these teams with very talented contractors.; ; At Investigo we regularly elicit feedback from our customers via both ad-hoc and regular surveys. An example of this is a Customer Experience survey we sent out was to all clients we worked with in 2020. The aim of this survey was to understand how Covid-19 affected our client organisation’s talent/people strategy and the challenges they have faced, as well as providing Investigo with valuable insight on the service received.; ; The survey results provided interesting insights and trends into each of our market specialisms, along with expert insight into areas of talent, D&I, Brexit, workforce planning post Covid-19 and technology in 2021 as well as ways businesses can meet these challenges. We have compiled all of these trends into a Talent Trends Insight.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Our chosen charity partner for 2024 is 'It's Your Life' which supports adults and children in our local community of Tower Hamlets, to get back into work and education. They work with children, young people and families to create a better society, where everyone, regardless of background, is encouraged to strive for educational excellence and supported to achieve this. Together we will not just be fighting poverty but also creating a more equitable, compassionate and educated community and we look forward to sharing the impactful outcomes of our partnerships. ; ; Our public sector team are undertaking pro bona work with local organisations to include: ; - Lunch and Learn sessions - how they can hire, any questions they have, areas they are lacking in; - Looking into equal opportunities and how they can potentially hire diverse candidates; - Disability confident courses.; ; Since November 2020, Investigo have been a member of the Armed Forces Covenant, recognising the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families bring to our business.; Sigma Labs, part of the Investigo Group, offers free training and job-readiness coaching for young people from low-income families. We select trainees based on the following criteria; Free School Meals, Local Authority Care, University benefits and Non-academically selective state schools. 45% of our current trainee population received free school meals (broadly considered the best indicator of low income). We partner with a number leading social mobility charities, organisations, and Universities to cast a wide selection net and align around these priority criteria.; ; We offer the individuals a free 16 week intensive training course in technology fundamentals - Software engineering, Data Engineering, Cloud and DevOps. We then help them to get a job in the technology industry. This improves social mobility, helps address the UK skills gap, and tackles inequality in employment.

Our website and talent portal houses an accessibility feature to make sure no candidate is missed. We work together with our sub-contractors to reduce any barriers throughout the recruitment process, making reasonable adjustments where necessary.; ; We base our approach to DEI on four main pillars, where we aim to positively impact mindsets and beliefs: ;  Disability and Neurodiversity;  Gender Equality;  Investigo Pride;  Race and Religion; ; Some of our DEI initiatives include:; - Our dedicated Marketing team can offer support with targeted recruitment campaigns and ensure effective and inclusive language is used in job ads and on social media. ; - We work with Goss Consultancy to ensure that we are moving forward though meeting on a monthly basis and driving our DEI strategy.; - Our DEI Committee Chairs not only host relevant events and webinars, we are routinely invited to sit on panel’s for our clients.

Each panel has a leader who is passionate about the panel they represent, with panel members supporting and driving initiatives across the business. ; ; The committee is co-lead by our Head of Culture and one of our Operational Directors. The committee’s mission is to create an optimum environment that empowers our people to feel positive, engaged and fulfilled.
