Equal opportunity
Principle One is committed to equality of opportunity through our recruitment and staff management practices, our work with customers and also through our external partnerships.
We welcome diversity amongst our staff, sub-contractors, customers and partner organisations, recognising that individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experience can bring different perspectives and insights to our delivery challenges.
Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group provides a central focus for ED&I issues, and information sharing throughout the Principle One team and we work to support adjustments and ways of working to accommodate neuro diversity across our workforce.
An example of our commitment to tackling workforce inequality and creating opportunities in the technology industry is our partnership with Coding Black Females, a non-profit organisation whose primary aim is to provide opportunities for black women to pursue a technical career, network, receive support and build relationships. Principle One staff have provided mentoring and training to the Black CodHer bootcamp on a pro bono basis. We have also recruited a number of staff through Coding Black Females, who are now part of our customer delivery workforce.
Principle One is also part of the Lilian Baylis Technology School’s Adopt a Student mentoring programme. Several of our team are mentoring locally based sixth formers from a range of socio-economic backgrounds and offering work experience to T level students. We have also launched an apprenticeship programme to help broaden the diversity in our consulting workforce.Wellbeing
Principle One understands the importance of physical and mental wellbeing, both for our staff and in the wider community across our customers. We work to provide our team with a good work life balance, recognising that this will vary between different people and at different stages throughout their career. We support part time working and are flexible in terms of blending in-office and home-based working, while also supporting the preferred working patterns of our customers.
We have invested in Mental Health First Aider training for a number of the team; this provides a greater understanding of mental health issues and also gives the team a first contact point and source of information if they feel they need support in this area.
We promote a healthy working culture; while deadlines are unavoidable, we do not have a long working hours culture by default, and we encourage our staff to fully use their annual leave allowances. This supports strong customer delivery by making sure our team are not working at an unsustainable rate.
We also promote wellbeing support through our partnerships, notably with the charity Police Care, who provide mental health support to officers, police staff and veterans who have suffered harm as a result of their policing work.
We have been involved in both fund raising and providing pro bono consulting support. Fundraising efforts have included an all-team sponsored walk during one of the Covid-19 lockdowns and a recent charity quiz and auction, focused both on team relationships and mental health as well as promoting awareness and raising funds for Police Care.
