A diverse business del ivers
International Women’s Day (IWD) In celebration of IWD, our office across the globe marked the occasion. Many offices including Johannesburg, Hong Kong, Dubai, Miami, San Francisco and London held a screening of Girl Rising and fundraising initiatives. Girl Rising is a global campaign for girls’ education and empowerment. The firms retells the life stories of nine girls from the developing works, who struggle every day for freedom, education and a voice in their home countries.. Stonewall LGBT* - How to be a good ally Training sessions are offered to staff, such as our hosting of a session from Stonewall on ‘How to be a good ally’. Stonewall is a UK charity committed to empowering individuals, transforming institutions and changing laws. The engaging session offered guidance on how you can ensure that LGBT+ colleagues, friends and family have a supportive and inclusive environment in which they can be accepted without exception. Mental Health Week In support of mental health week, our London office championed the Green Ribbon Campaign – a Lord Mayor’s Appeal to promote open conversation and end the stigma of mental health. External Partnerships We value our key external partnerships with Aspiring Solicitors and Bright Network. We are proud to co-sponsor AS Pride on 23 November.
At Clyde & Co we view diversity and inclusion as critical to the international nature of our business and welcome applications from anyone, regardless of background. A diverse business delivers better products and services to clients and creates a more positive culture, enabling and encouraging different opinions, mindsets and backgrounds that can grow and develop a different perspective. We want all our people to feel able to be themselves at work. Equally our workforce must be representative of the communities and rich culture in which we live and work. In July 2017 we appointed Andy Dent as Global Head of Inclusion. We encourage all employees to get involved with our diversity initiatives which are focused on five key areas: • Gender diversity • LGBT+ • Wellness, mental health and disability • Cultural and ethnic diversity • Social mobility At Clyde & Co we view diversity as critical to the international nature of our business. We are working hard to sustain and develop an inclusive culture for all of our employees and a diverse workforce that is fully representative of the communities and rich cultures in which we live and work. The firm is committed to ensuring that everyone feels respected and included.
