WHO WE ARE

With a global workforce and client base, we believe it is important to have an inclusive environment that welcomes different knowledge, experience, perspectives and working styles. Diversity and Inclusion means making sure that differences are celebrated and that people from any background have access to opportunities to develop and progress from day one. Embedding diversity and inclusion in our work culture not only enhances individual innovation and problem solving, it also makes good business sense. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace so that we can attract and retain the most talented people from all backgrounds and cultures – regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law. This includes actively promoting opportunities at the firm with diverse/identity groups, eliminating unconscious bias throughout our recruitment process to ensure that high performing candidates are selected on merit alone and having a global agile working policy and flexible working arrangements across our global footprint to allow all employees to balance work and home priorities. We also promote good mental health through events and training designed to raise awareness in the workplace, including our Mental Health Allies initiative. In addition, our LGBT Affinity group will shortly be celebrating its first anniversary.
