Ensuring Diverse Outcomes

Our DE&I Statement

We believe that equity, diversity, and inclusion (DE&I) are not just ideals but essential pillars of a thriving workplace. To create an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered, we’ve made DE&I a core focus of our culture and operations.

We know that meaningful progress requires continuous effort and collaboration. That’s why we are dedicated to listening, learning, and adapting as we work towards a more inclusive future—for our employees, clients, and communities alike.

Building campaigns for diverse outcomes

Improving Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the Housing sector is an ongoing ambition. Housing Providers are driven by strong social values and want to be representative of customers but there is a lot more to do to ensure leadership teams are diverse, and that organisations completely embrace equality. There is no single solution to ensuring diverse outcomes. We have a suite of interventions that we can engage dependant on the needs of each individual organisation.

Creating Inclusive Content

Drafting effective & inclusive recruitment content is imperative to appeal to a diverse audience. We work with you to identify who you want to attract and develop appropriate pro-active strategies to appeal to those audiences.

Application Management

Ensuring a positive candidate experience

We take pride in developing a positive, enjoyable recruitment process for all parties. We reduce unconscious bias throughout the assessment process and focus on strengths and abilities. We are always available to support clients and candidates alike throughout the process.

Interview Process

Appropriate Assessment

We work with you to ensure the interview process is designed to assess the appropriate skills for the role. We support all parties throughout the process to ensure everyone is able to put their best foot forward. We also ensure that all interviewees receive constructive and timely feedback.

Providing a safe landing

We maintain regular and consistent communication before commencement to ensure a successful landing. All requirements are considered and catered for and we can also offer mentoring and coaching to enable new employees can thrive.
