Diversity & Inclusivity

Our diversity commitments and initiatives

We believe in the power of diversity and inclusion to not only create a positive place to work, but to fuel innovation and creativity. Every member of our team brings unique skills and talents that we value and nurture. Here are some of the commitments and initiatives that are helping us create a diverse, inclusive workplace.

In our recruitment In our workplace In our vision

We are inclusive in our recruitment process

We use a feature in our recruitment platform that removes personal information from CVs. This makes our recruitment process more fair, and reduces the risk of bias affecting our decisions.

We actively seek to inspire and hire underrepresented talent

We’ve partnered with the 10,000 Interns Foundation to offer four internships to underrepresented talent, through their 10,000 Black Interns and 10,000 Able Interns programmes. We’re welcoming those three candidates in July 2024.

We have a zero tolerance approach

We will not tolerate bullying, harassment or inappropriate behaviour in our workplace. Complaints are taken very seriously and are dealt with swiftly and sensitively, in line with our zero tolerance policy.

We strive to reflect our diverse community

We actively seek to attract, retain and promote individuals from all walks of life. While we still have work to do, we are proud of the recent team feedback from our 2023 Great Place To Work survey: 94% said they are treated fairly regardless of their sexual orientation, 92% said they are treated fairly regardless of their sex, and 91% said they are treated fairly regardless of their race.

We consider diversity and inclusion in our policies

Our company policies reflect our beliefs and commitments. These include policies for flexible working, enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption and surrogacy. And we voluntarily report our gender, ethnicity and disability pay gap data.

We nurture an inclusive workplace

We want to create a space where every individual can be the best version of themselves, do their best work and can reach their full potential. Not only does this benefit each person, but also the team, and is central to our growth as a business.

We have a zero tolerance approach

We will not tolerate bullying, harassment or inappropriate behaviour in our workplace. Complaints are taken very seriously and are dealt with swiftly and sensitively, in line with our zero tolerance policy.

We seek and act on feedback

Our neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ and ethnicity employee affinity groups provide regular feedback to help us create an inclusive, equitable and safe workplace.

We are inspiring diversity in the property industry

In 2024, we signed the Inspiring Diversity in Property Pledge, as part of a campaign by Property Week. We’re working to ensure equity is front and centre – from our recruitment, through to career progression.

We continually learn

We don’t see diversity as a destination but as a continual journey. Learning is essential for creating a truly inclusive workplace, so all our team members receive mandatory diversity and inclusion training on a monthly basis, and we hold workshops for all managers.

Taking pride in PRIDE

We took to the stunning rooftop of our King William Street property, for a PRIDE-themed summer party. The event brought our team together, helped our LGBTQ+ community feel seen, supported and included, and gave everyone an opportunity to have some fun.
