Our diversity & inclusion promise

At PageGroup, Diversity & Inclusion is part of our DNA and as such it is embedded throughout all areas of our business. This doesn’t just mean that we promote equality of opportunity as an employer, but that we overlay this with our clients too. We foster a culture of inclusion and belonging and with that we actively bring diverse voices to business decisions.

Inclusion is always at the forefront for the PageGroup and it starts right at the beginning when we’re looking at sourcing and attracting candidates and it remains omnipresent and permeates our selection, induction, development and promotional processes -- this includes our thought leadership, our culture, and with respect to our business strategies - no area is exempt.

From the moment a candidate engages with our organization, whether that’s us as their recruitment intermediary; us as a prospective employer, or indeed as one of our clients, they need to understand that their differences are valued. From the wording in a job description, through the way an interview is conducted, their induction, and throughout their entire career experience. Leaders need to be inclusive in their approach. They need to seek diverse input from their people to ensure richness of thought and innovation. A business culture, therefore, needs to epitomize inclusion, so that all individuals feel comfortable being their authentic selves in the workplace, accepted without exception, and that their voice matters.  

To build a truly diverse workforce, organizations must be prepared to evolve: listen to different perspectives, actively seek out a variety of opinions, and allow individuals to challenge the status quo. The key is to eliminate groupthink and encourage change to drive business success. All our MD’s globally have mandatory D&I targets attached to their bonuses. We expect and demand that they engage in good faith efforts to meet these targets. Organizations that do this well have been found to significantly outperform those that do not. So, while there are, of course, moral and ethical drivers for diversity and inclusion in the workplace, there is no denying that there is a clear commercial value for businesses too.
