Odgers Berndtson, proud sponsors of the civil service diversity & equality awards.
We believe that diversity is critical to the success of both our clients and ourselves. A breadth of talent, opinion, judgement and experience within any organisation enables it to be more creative and to challenge existing thinking, delivering more innovatively and gaining competitive advantage.
Our commitment to diversity is at every level of our own organisation. We value diversity in ethnicity, disability, gender, language, age, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, political persuasion, experience and education. We aim to ensure that employees are treated fairly, evaluated objectively and enabled to succeed. We have set up a Diversity Council, co-chaired by Aine Hurley which comprises representatives from across the company at all levels. This group works to drive forward the diversity programme within Odgers Berndtson, to attain leadership in the field of diversity and to exceed industry standards of best practice.
Our responsibility to our clients is to support them to make diversity a reality in their organisations. We are committed to ensuring that we provide our clients with choice and are continuing to find ways to improve the creativity with which we tackle assignments. We actively create networks with organisations that assist us in sourcing more diverse candidates.
A successful organisation depends upon the insight of its people. The exceptional growth of our business to date is a reflection of the quality and skill of our people. We are absolutely committed to seeking out and retaining the finest talent for our clients and for ourselves.
