Our Approach and Goals

<ul>
<li>We partnered with <a href="http://www.versiti.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Versiti </strong></a>who audited our DEI credentials and led a workshop for our leadership team, helping us to identify where we were, where we want to be, and how we may get there.</li>
<li>We engaged <a href="https://www.theabilitypeople.com/staff/liz-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Liz Johnson</strong></a> of <a href="https://www.theabilitypeople.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Ability People </strong></a>to talk to our staff and our clients about her story and how we can achieve authentic inclusion in our business.</li>
<li>We set up a staff communication channel where we share insights about DEI.</li>
<li>We commissioned a leading DEI coach to train all of our staff in DEI during 2022.</li>
<li>Everyone that joins FH must complete a mandatory online DEI CPD course for which they get a certificate.</li>
<li>We have committed to including DEI as a fixed item on our board meeting agenda, with executive-level accountability to deliver on OKRs against our DEI goals.</li>
<li>We will communicate our goals and progress to our staff on a quarterly basis and continue to invite our staff to contribute to our journey at every level.</li>
<li>We commit to ensuring our staff events are inclusive and that we celebrate the diverse cultural events that are meaningful to our people.</li>
<li>We re-commit to our management pledge that ensures every member of Futureheads has a voice and is listened to.</li>
<li>We commit to creating the psychological safety within our culture that enables every member of staff to discuss DEI in any capacity through a range of touchpoints, and to provide safe, confidential opportunities for staff to raise concerns. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Our Internal Culture

<ul>
<li>We aim to ensure that processes within our business enable inclusion and commit to reviewing all relevant processes to that end.</li>
<li>We have audited and updated all our policies that relate to our DEI strategy.</li>
<li>We have refreshed our staff benefits and rewards to ensure they are inclusive and offer as much flexibility as possible. In particular, we have relaunched our Parental Leave policies which are now non-gendered and inclusive.</li>
<li>To ensure visibility of and access to those policies we publish our DEI and related policies in our Staff Handbook and internal HR system, along with regular updates.</li>
<li>Our policies and processes will reinforce and enable the culture of psychological safety we aim to create, offering clear guidance on how any comments or concerns can be raised and heard.</li>
<li>We audit the DEI commitments of our suppliers and take appropriate action to ensure our supply chain is aligned with and supportive of our goals.</li>
</ul>

Our Policies & Procedures

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We pledge to work proactively with our clients to provide an inclusive recruitment process and to positively engage, challenge and educate each other during the process.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We intend to create a client onboarding and &ldquo;post project&rdquo; process map which defines the standard for good DEI</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We will map the recruitment process, and define when and how diversity is best discussed and managed.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We will educate our staff on how to talk about DEI for positive change and to help optimise our clients&rsquo; process to ensure authentic inclusion.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We will proactively seek opportunities to provide &rsquo;How to&rsquo; advice and consultancy to clients specifically in relation to DEI</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We would like to help create an equitable industry which no longer needs to rely on DEI </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">data, however, while we and our sector are on that journey, we will invite all of our applicants to provide DEI</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">-related data on a voluntary basis, for the purpose of providing anonymised insights to our community.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

 Our Work With Clients – Best Practice Recruitment

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We actively invite people with protected characteristics to apply for the roles that we advertise and have updated our website and other communications to make this explicit.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We commit to advertising our roles in such a way as to reach a diverse audience and are researching job boards which are specifically inclusive of those with protected characteristics.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We commit to advertising our roles in such a way as to reach a diverse audience and are researching job boards which are specifically inclusive of those with protected characteristics.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">All advertising is screened for non-inclusive language and staff are trained in understanding unconscious bias.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Advertising

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We have formed a charities and partnerships group internally to assess potential partners who we can support over the coming years.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">In 2021 we partnered with </span><a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="https://www.theabilitypeople.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Ability People</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> and are excited to welcome </span><a style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);" href="https://www.theabilitypeople.com/staff/liz-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Liz Johnson</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong> </strong>to speak at a client event in Summer 2021.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We have committed a budget to support other charities and partners who champion under-represented groups of our society. We will select partners whose audience can benefit from our professional expertise, and we encourage all of our staff to get involved in this support.<br></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">In 2022 we partnered with<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicia-richardson/"> Alicia Richardson</a>, Founder of <a href="https://blackcreateconnect.co.uk/">Black Create Connect</a>, connecting black creatives and tech professionals to employers. Alicia&rsquo;s services are available via SyncD, so please get in touch if you&rsquo;re interested in DEI training, workshops or educational talks.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Our Partnerships

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Through our social media channels, content and events, we will always try to include content that helps promote and showcase diversity in a positive light.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">We commit to using our marketing channels to increase awareness and celebrate protected characteristics.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent;">More practically, we will share any knowledge on how to improve DEI </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">practices in How to Guides.</span></li>
</ul>

Our ‘Voice’

    (Updated Jan 2023) We will update this statement on a                   twice-yearly basis to share our progress. If you would like to                   discuss DEI at Futureheads please contact                   caroline@wearefutureheads.co.uk.

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>We aim to be brave. We won&rsquo;t get it right all the time, but we believe it&apos;s better to say and do something rather than nothing, and to learn from our mistakes.</strong></div>

 <p>                     <strong>                       But we’re now striving to be better and to drive positive                       change. We firmly believe that everyone is welcome at                       Futureheads, and we aim to demonstrate that in everything                       we do.                     </strong>                   </p>                   We’re committed to creating a culture that reflects the                   make-up of society, we believe diversity promotes innovation,                   growth and equality. We are committed to being intentionally                   inclusive by understanding who we have in our culture and how                   we can best add equity to each individual, and contribute                   towards their professional development. We are actively                   helping our clients do the same. We celebrate the difference                   and rich experience that diversity brings, and we commit to                   ensuring that everyone we interact with, both within and                   outside our business, is valued, respected, and treated                   equally, regardless of their background, identity or                   circumstances. We aim to understand every individual’s                   capabilities, and to give them what they need to succeed to                   their fullest potential.
