diversity global principles
Alongside our Diversity Strategy, we have Global Diversity Principles:
- Our leaders are committed to achieving our diversity goals and will demonstrate this through leading by example and being accountable for its delivery. Our leaders themselves will be from a diverse range of backgrounds and we have balanced leadership teams throughout the business. (Leadership)
- We will always recruit the best person for the job. However, we will actively support and encourage people from a wider range of backgrounds, particularly from groups that are under-represented within Serco. We will select from the widest possible pool of talent and we will have a rich and diverse employment profile as a result. (Recruitment)
- We will think laterally and creatively about development and succession planning and ensure that all of our talented people have the opportunity to access learning and development. (Development)
- We will create environments where our employees are encouraged to understand, respect and embrace diversity. We will provide a working environment that is as flexible as possible so that we can recruit and retain a wider diversity of people with varying needs and commitments. (Engagement)
- We will have an excellent reputation for engaging with and providing services to all of the people in the communities we serve. We will promote diversity through our interaction with a broad range of minority groups within the communities in which we operate. (Service)
- We will use our power and influence as a significant supplier and a procurer of products and services to encourage and promote diversity though the public service supply chain and within local communities. (Supply Chain)
- We will have robust and clear data to measure our progress and provide transparency. We will benchmark ourselves against the best. We will set ourselves challenging targets. (Measurement)
