truly diverse, equitable and inclusive environment where every individual feels
safe and confident to be the best, authentic version of themselves regardless
of gender, disability, race, age, religion, culture, and sexual orientation. What our vision means for
IPS Group’s internal recruitment: IMPROVING
DIVERSITY: We are
pro-actively engaging with minority groups rather than simply hoping they
will choose to engage with our traditional recruitment approaches. By
diversifying the channels we use to source potential recruits, reviewing
how we approach candidates, focusing on competency based questions and
systematically using candidate feedback we will continue to improve our
DEI performance. STRIVING
FOR EQUITY: There is little
point in attracting more diverse candidates if we don’t retain them. We
recognise that treating everyone the same (equality) is not truly
equitable as needs and priorities are individual. Our focus involves
striving for true equity by considering what will enable each employee to
contribute their best to the organisation and providing them with the
appropriate support and training to achieve their potential. DRIVING
INCLUSION: The organisation
will only benefit from increased diversity and individuals will only feel
valued if we embrace the richness of our differences. We are constantly
looking for ways to educate ourselves and communicate more effectively
with one another. This involves board level ownership of the DEI strategy,
company-wide training, partnerships with other relevant organisations,
constantly reviewing internal systems, and measuring our progress. What our DEI vision means
for how we work with clients Our clients are at different stages of their DEI journeys. Irrespective of
whether they are industry leaders or early on in their journey we look to
collaborate with them, support them and learn from them as much as we can. We
apply the techniques we are using to improve our own diversity to source ever
stronger and less homogenous candidate lists while taking the opportunity to
learn from their best practice and so improve our own efforts. What our DEI vision means
for candidates We want to be the recruiter of choice for every candidate in the insurance and
finance sector. We are proactively looking to make our own team mix more
diverse, training our staff, setting DEI targets for our candidate base and
measuring our progress but we recognise there will always be more to do. We
would welcome your feedback, both positive and negative to help us improve
further. We recently achieved our
Clear Assured silver certification and are currently working our towards gold
certification.
