Gender and ethnic diversity
We are committed to hiring individuals with skills that enhance our culture and strategy. We consider candidates on merit rather than against objective criteria, with due regard to the benefits of diversity when considering candidates. We celebrate individuality and recognise this diversity makes us more resilient and effective in delivering on the needs of our clients. Recognising the gender and ethnic imbalance within the industry as a whole, we are making progress to improve this through our hiring. Harassment and victimisation are not tolerated under any circumstance.
