As a people business, our expertise and energy are always going into improving everyone’s chances of being part of the world of work. Our people are at the core of our business.
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive culture for everyone to feel supported in their day-to-day work and during their development throughout their career. We seek to foster a culture of belonging and purpose, an environment where everyone can thrive and feel engaged, and where difference is respected and valued.
Our commitment is to provide equal opportunity regardless of, for example, your gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or beliefs. We also engage with employers to develop programmes and pathways that embrace diverse talent and promote more inclusive employment worldwide through partnerships and other initiatives.
We recognise and celebrate the value of difference and how it makes us faster, smarter and more innovative than our competition.

Our strategy

Our goal is to establish and sustain a culture of belonging, trust and participation. Here’s how we are doing it.

Our global partnerships, associations and initiatives

We lead by example – enabling people to gain better access to the jobs and prospects they deserve. We engage with employers to develop programmes and pathways that embrace diverse talent. And we campaign for more inclusive employment worldwide through a range of global partnerships, associations and other initiatives, including:
