Tackling economic inequality

Zaizi is committed to tackling Economic Inequality through our core purpose to realise the potential of our staff, customers, and fellow citizens:

We contribute to the levelling up agenda through our hybrid working policy with hubs in London, Bristol, Manchester, Sheffield, and Newcastle.

We’ve partnered with the Future Frontiers Programme for our staff to mentor school students from deprived areas.

Signatories to the Armed Forces Covenant, we recruit ex-forces colleagues with DV clearance and train them in digital capability. We provide Reservists full pay when they are on training.

Our full-time Organisational Coach, works with our staff to create a mind-set for positive change, enabling all to achieve their goals and thrive at work.

Furthermore, we’ve created a multi-stream approach to recruitment and retention. Board level KPIs measure our impact across multiple facets including reach. This ensures we can resource projects to support the Levelling Up agenda, actively recruiting across the UK.

We actively encourage and support those from economically disadvantaged areas and agree KPI’s with our G-Cloud clients for target inclusion rates.

We work with our apprenticeship providers Founders & Coders & Makers Academy to source candidates from diverse backgrounds. To date we’ve onboarded 12 apprentices including refugees, return to work mums and career changers such as primary school teachers.
We recruit nationally in the UK, enabling people to work from anywhere in the UK, enabling remote working as an opportunity to tap into areas traditionally less digitally aware using a variety of techniques to engage in different ways.
We use projects to help us upskill apprenticeships, graduates and people looking to change careers. For example, one client contract has enabled us to on-board and train over 15 apprentices, graduates and junior staff.

Equal opportunity

An ethnic minority owned business, our purpose is to realise the potential of our staff, customers, and fellow citizens through equal opportunity. Through the provision of our G-cloud services continually expand our commitment. Example measures include:

37% of our workforce are women (industry average is 26%). Target 50% by 2027.
48.5% of the workforce identify as non-White (industry average is 15.2%).

Board level KPIs measure our impact across multiple facets, such as gender, age, ethnicity, religion, gender / sexual orientation, maternity / paternity, and reach.

We actively encourage and support Women, BAME and those from economically disadvantaged groups, agreeing targets with G-cloud clients.

All our job adverts carry the following description: “Studies show that women and Black, Asian and minority ethnic people are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every qualification. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with the job description, we’d love you to still apply. You might just be the perfect person for this role, or another role here at Zaizi.” We ensure we post all jobs on women only job boards as well as other forums.
We work with our apprenticeship providers to source candidates from diverse backgrounds, including refugees, return to work mums and career changers such as primary school teachers.
We offer flexible and part-time work to enable working mums to pursue a career with us and publish pay bands for all vacancies that we advertise for transparency, ensuring we do not disproportionately negatively impact those from under-represented groups in our industry.
We are disability confident committed and aim to become a disability confident employer, making necessary adjustments for people with physical and mental disabilities.
We have women in our board, management and senior roles providing role models for others and attracting more women.
