From the way we hire new talent to our pay and reward practices, we want to make sure that diversity, equality and inclusion runs through everything we do at Audley Group like a watermark. Across our everyday operations and our social and cultural initiatives, everyone should feel included, and empowered to develop their full potential.

Audley Group already has many talented people from a wide mix of groups; however we know we have some work to do to be truly representative of the modern world we all live within.

To support us with our DE&I plans and strategy we have our Steering Committee with members drawn from across Audley Group to represent Senior figures to those in customer facing roles.

To truly foster an inclusive culture, we must live up to our promise to every employee; to use their skills, passion and empathy to the full, and give them the opportunity to grow and develop with us, regardless of their race, religion etc.

Together, we’ll drive change for everyone.

A message from our CEO

“To achieve a truly inclusive, equal and diverse workforce, organisations need to start by reflecting on themselves from the top down. Audley will be following this thought process and exploring ways that we can continue to develop and embed a diverse workforce and a culture that underpins our commitment. The mission is to achieve a successful culture that ensures that we do not miss out on or exclude the experiences that all individuals can bring – experiences that will contribute to our ongoing success and future growth.”

Nick Sanderson

DE&I in action

A message from our Academy Partner - DE&I, Culture and ESG

“The Academy is committed to supporting Diversity, Equality & Inclusion. We do this by engaging with, and learning about, the viewpoints and experiences of all our Audley Group team members. We consider what’s important to our team members and ensure that we are supporting with the right information and committing to what we believe is the right thing to do. We believe that The Academy does not belong to us as an organisation but belongs to us all as individuals. Every single team member who works at Audley Group has a stake in it. This ethos is important to us and helps ensure we provide the best, most relevant information that supports our DE&I & ESG culture. Together, we’re building a culture of inclusivity, authenticity, equality and diversity of which we can all be proud.”

At Audey Group we invest in maintaining our reputations as an ethically conscious employer. Therefore, we are committed to ensuring our practices are environmentally friendly, we adhere to our governing bodies & support both our internal and local communities.

We do this though our working groups, each of which have their own set objectives that guide us to achieve and maintain our GRESB score each year. GRESB supports us to peer benchmark our performance and to aid our investors who use ESG data. Follow the link for more information on GRESB.

Awards

Bronze Standard TIDEmark

For the second year running we have achieved the Bronze TIDEmark with the enei (employers network for equality and Inclusion)

What is TIDE?

TIDE is enei’s self-assessment evaluation and benchmarking tool. It measures an organisation’s approach and progress on diversity, equality and inclusion (DE&I) in the following areas:

  • Your workforce
  • Strategy and plan
  • Leadership and accountability
  • Recruitment and attraction
  • Training and development
  • Other employment practices
  • Communication and engagement
  • Procurement

What does this award mean?

Each year we complete an evaluation on what we do towards DE&I, how we work, what our initiatives are & how we measure and evaluate what we do as a business. This is then submitted and benchmarked against other members of the enei. A select few will then be awarded a Bronze, Silver or Gold award.

If you are interested in DE&I or would like to understand what we do at Audley Group to enable a safe open space for our team members, feel free to email me at charlotte.osei@audleygroup.com.
