Equal opportunity
Expleo is experienced in delivering measurable Social Value outcomes across our UK public sector engagements. This has included creating work experience programmes and providing 4-week unwaged placements for persons with a registered disability who are seeking employment to work, to work directly on our public sector contracts.
Activities and Resources That Will be Used to Plan and Deliver the Requirements:
• Expleo already works in partnership with the approved broker Disability Action (DA), the largest pan-disability organisation in NI. Expleo’s HR team will work closely with the relevant organisations and charities to select and manage the placements and support them throughout the programme, ensuring that they satisfy the relevant Social Value criteria.
• Our Account Management team will work closely with client representatives and our senior resources on contracts when services commence, to identify the most appropriate opportunities and timings for the placements.
• The Account Management team will take the participants through onboarding and manage them through our upskilling process to define their Individual Development Plans and provide training. They will assign them a mentor and a buddy who will ensure that they are provided with meaningful work experience, training and development with measured outcomes and objectives, greatly enhancing their opportunities for future employment.
• The timescale will be agreed upon with the client and charity partners.
We have a comprehensive Modern Slavery policy, which is regularly reviewed and updated.
We report annually to all of our staff on our gender pay gap, and have taken positive action in recent years to close the gap, with published plans in our CSR report to close it further in the coming years.Wellbeing

It is vitally important that our active Well-Being Warrior group engages with all our employees on this framework to ensure that they are fully using these support initiatives and that they are kept updated as the initiatives are improved and evolved.

• The Account Management Team work closely with the Well-Being Warrior (WBW) group to ensure that Expleo team working on government contracts have full access to these initiatives and feel comfortable using them.
