Our "people first" approach is part of our culture. Our mission is to provide the best possible workplace for everyone, and to help us all be the best possible versions of ourselves both professionally and personally. Alongside this, all Carrington West employees have extensive diversity training to ensure they are best placed to themselves understand and recruit with equity, diversity and inclusion in mind. Carrington West is unique in the way that ED&I plays a massive part in our own culture and features highly in our people management best practice.
| Investors in Diversity We are delighted to have recently achieved the Investors in Diversity Silver award. This accreditation means we are proud to be FREDIE - Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement. Whilst we recognise there is no endgame with our ED&I journey, it is great to know we are on the right track. | | Disability Confident Disability Confident organisations play a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. As part of this government scheme we are helping changing behaviour and cultures in own business, network and community, and advocating the benefits of inclusive recruitment practices. |
| Fertility in the Workplace We have a dedicated 'Fertility in the Workplace' Ambassador, championing the support for employees who are starting a family with fertility issues. | | Armed Forces Covenant We have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, which shows our commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community. Putting this commitment to action means we will ensure that no member of the Armed Forces community faces disadvantage when working with us in any capacity. |
| | In 2024, we were delighted to be featured on the National Centre for Diversity's Top 100 Inclusive Employer's Index, coming in at number 63. This recognition is not only a milestone for us, but also motivation to continue working towards an even more inclusive future. | |
