what we stand for.

Diverse workforces and inclusive workplaces are crucial to the success of our organisation and our communities. We are a global organisation with local teams that celebrate all backgrounds, respect diverse voices and experiences, and work to make everyone feel they can bring their whole self to work. We are proud of our global community and are especially pleased that all people are welcome to bring their full selves to work.

our commitment

to equal opportunities and valuing diverse talent.

We value diversity and we don't discriminate on the grounds of age, skin colour, disability, gender, marital status, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation, and we have a non-discrimination policy to underline this. By forging links with local community stakeholders, including public, private, NGO, and institutional partnerships, we stimulate diversity in the workplace.

In line with our aim to promote diversity in our workforce, we also have a diversity & inclusion policy.

  • how are we are taking action?

    We believe every one of us has a role to play in creating an inclusive workplace and a key element of that is ensuring that our people have greater opportunities to get involved, collaborate and feel valued for the unique contribution they bring. From our leaders to our wider community, we are dedicated to threading diversity and inclusion principles into our hiring, business processes, communications, innovations, and our offerings to candidates and clients.

  • our commitment.

    As part of this commitment we signed up to the Valuable 500 and Time to Change pledge, we are a global member of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion, and we are a Disability Confident employer. In 2020 we became the first staffing organisation to be named in DiversityInc's top 50 companies list.  We take a holistic approach to supporting the wellbeing of our people with a focus across mental, physical, financial, social and career pillars. 

  • investing in our inclusive future.

    We have invested in inclusion and wellbeing, but we also recognise we have more to do and we have a clear plan in place to achieve even greater diverse representation and a deeper sense of belonging for all of our people. We have launched a monthly inclusion matters series to help inform our people on all things D&I from inclusive recruitment practices, to inclusive behaviours, understanding privilege and the importance of allyship. 

  • investing in our inclusive future.

    We have updated all of our diversity data fields in line with best practice and will be running a Be Counted self declaration campaign to ensure we have the data to inform insightful and data driven D&I interventions. We have launched a curriculum of focused diversity, inclusion and wellbeing learning, from our leadership team and senior managers undertaking inclusive leadership training, to mandatory e-learning, resources and information for all our people to ensure an understanding and commitment to expected inclusive behaviours across Randstad.

our approach.

Creating a forward thinking culture where everybody feels valued, and they belong as a person, not just an employee.
