Zellis - Double winner

We celebrate differences

Zellis Group believes that everyone, irrespective of their gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, religious belief, disability, or any personal characteristics, should be supported to achieve their ambitions equally.

We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and engaging culture and environment that colleagues want to join and are proud to be part of.

We recognise this requires long term commitment, with support and participation from all colleagues which is why we have spent time working with colleagues, industry experts, customers and partners to define a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) approach that will help us become a more inclusive organisation, that is truly reflective of the communities and customers we serve.

We ask all colleagues to complete an annual Diversity, Equity & Inclusion eLearning module and provide enhanced training for managers to support them to source and select talent, ensuring balanced shortlists and practical tools and data to support hiring decisions and break down barriers to entering work for people from disadvantaged or underrepresented groups.

Commitments

We also offer awareness sessions to educate and give practical ways for leaders, managers and colleagues to create a more inclusive workplace including – education on pronouns, British Sign Language, Autism at work and cultural differences.

At Zellis we welcome gender pay gap reporting as an effective way for us, along with other organisations, to gain visibility on progress for gender pay parity – an intrinsic part of achieving gender equality.

We are also proud that our two in-house management and leadership development programmes, launched in 2019, support our ambitions for a more equal and reflective company structure, with 66% of Making Management Count and 63% of Future Leaders UK delegates being women.

Making use of our own products and capabilities, we have developed MyDiversity – a diversity data capture module within ResourceLink – to help baseline our organisation against the communities we operate in and set out measurable, high-level ambitions and goals.

In February 2022 we launched the first of our colleague-led networks – ‘Count Me In’, a women’s’ business group and ‘Moore Visibility’ our group wide LGBT+ network – to accelerate change and ensure colleagues views and interests are represented at all levels of the business.
