ED&I extended

Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion journey

As a leading voice in the world of work, we drive change with our customers and their own DE&I targets and journeys every day. We know that this change starts with us and we are committed to ensuring that all opportunities are equal, no matter the gender, race or background of an individual. As part of this process, we have outlined Our Promise around our shared beliefs, commitments as a company to DE&I initiatives and the actions that we will take to ensure that everyone at Hays feels able to bring their whole selves to work and flourish with us.

Our Promise

Our Beliefs

We believe that diversity must be evident across all levels of our business and reflect the markets and communities we serve. We need a culture built on trust, respect, equality and inclusivity so that we can live our values, achieve our ambitions and deliver our purpose - and know that we must implement changes where appropriate, that make significant and lasting change so to deliver our promise.

Our Commitment

We will support diversity, equity and inclusion in all its forms, whether this is in attracting talent to join Hays or in realising potential and progression opportunities within the business. We will encourage people to speak up and speak out so that all voices are heard and be open to learning from these opinions. Finally, we will commit to influencing our customers, both in creating opportunities and improving lives in all that we do and in supporting our clients, suppliers and partners to deliver on their own Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ambitions.

Our Actions

Since FY21, we have been working with experts to assess whether the paths dedicated to “getting in” and “getting on” in Hays are truly fair, balanced and inclusive, sharing these results with our staff, and committing ourselves to deliver the necessary changes to fulfil the promises, alongside our global and regional DE&I boards. We continue with inclusive recruitment and training against unconscious bias in our own recruiting practices, while also trying to make a positive impact through the charitable efforts and commitments that we undertake every year as Hays staff.
