DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN RECRUITMENT

There’s a real focus here on creating an atmosphere, support networks and opportunities in which you can speak up, flourish and grow. The change areas you’re going to benefit from as a person and a professional include:

• Recruitment & Selection: We set diverse recruitment targets and stick to them, as we aim to achieve equal representation across the business and in leadership positions. We’re also redesigning processes to root out any bias or hidden hurdles to your success.
• Communication: Hiring different people isn’t enough. We’re creating a space where you can use your real voice and feel secure that your colleagues understand where it’s coming from. Have conversations driven by respect and inclusive language.
• Environment & Culture: Things like gender and nationality can be measured, but inclusion is about behaviour. Here, you’ll feel welcomed and quickly develop a sense of belonging in a team that takes an interest in each other’s uniqueness.
• Awareness & Enabling: If you’re a female employee, you can join our ‘Taking the Stage’ program. A platform to create networks with other women while learning practical tips that will support your leadership journey.

Whether it’s our purpose of feeding the future or creating a more diverse and inclusive work environment, we can’t change the world in a day. But you’ll feel at home in an organisation where diversity is more than just a number – it’s action that you will benefit from and be a part of.
