Feel what it’s like to truly belong
Our goal is that everyone at Reed Talent Solutions can be their true self at work and feel like they truly belong.
We proudly promote inclusion and diversity as an equal opportunity employer, and promote that aim among clients, candidates, and co-members.
Reed Talent Solutions supports people who hold protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. This is something we do both internally and externally by supporting recruitment practices based entirely upon merit.
As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage our co-members to be their true self at work and promote this ethos to our clients and candidates.
We encourage diversity through inclusion training, by empowering parents, our commitment to closing the gender pay gap, and through our inclusive recruitment policy which offers equal opportunities for all at Reed Talent Solutions.
Our commitment...
At Reed Talent Solutions, we prioritise inclusion – as demonstrated by our Inclusion Strategy. Launched in 2019, this strategy aligns our commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging (EDI&B) with our vision as a business.
Our passion is making individuals feel welcome. This is shown by our commitment to:
being a Mindful Employer and supporting the mental health of our people
being Disability Confident, with reasonable adjustments made to accommodate applicants and employees needs
the Race At Work Charter, showing our commitment to improving outcomes for minority ethnic employees
the Tech She Can Charter, promising to encourage more young women into tech
the Care Leavers Covenant, guaranteeing interviews to care leavers applying to our internship programme
the Armed Forces Covenant, showing our commitment to helping ex-forces personnel reintegrate into successful civilian careers
being a Stonewall Diversity Champion, including releasing our first Transitioning at Work Policy in 2018
All co-members in a client facing role attend EDI&B training in order to support our clients with their own inclusion agendas.
Our co-members are invited to complete unconscious bias training and inclusive management e-learning as part of Reed Talent Solutions’ commitment to inclusive learning. We have a variety of additional e-learning modules associated with wellbeing, mindfulness, and inclusion.
Our inclusive training helps co-members recognise and combat any unconscious bias in the workplace.
Reed Talent Solutions believes in providing increased opportunities for women to progress into senior positions, and we are committed to reducing our gender pay gap.
As an organisation, we are dedicated to supporting women in the workplace. This includes introducing talks, seminars and webinars run by successful women every quarter, with the aim of inspiring women across the business. Alongside this, our gender working group has a focus on raising awareness of issues facing women in the workplace and removing barriers to success.
We’ve also pledged to grow a female mentoring programme to provide the women who work for us with a system of support and advice, while also seeking to have women making up 50% of our senior leadership team over the next three-to-five years.
Our gender working group supports women and parents in the workplace with a variety of education, communication, and change initiatives, brought together in our inclusion calendar.
We have dedicated senior sponsors who drive the agenda in ensuring Reed Talent Solutions is a great place to work for parents. We try to continually provide positive role models of working parents, sharing co-member stories and bringing in external speakers to educate and support others.
As a family business, we support our co-members’ commitments outside of work by promoting both dynamic and flexible working, providing enhanced family leave and pay, a flexible holiday scheme, paid sabbaticals, and awards for long service.
Reed Talent Solutions inclusive recruitment process offers equal opportunities for all. Including psychometric testing and telephone interviews, our system aims to reduce bias through a skills-based recruitment process.
We grow top talent internally year-on-year and are dedicated to democratising access to opportunity. The goal is to make sure everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential whatever their background is.
We specialise in the design and execution of talent acquisition strategies that support our clients EDI&B agendas and continually evolve to ensure the latest research and thinking is applied. We ensure our solutions and suggestions are realistic and provide our clients and candidates with an inclusive, fair, and positive experience. We can help you formulate your goals, promote your organisation as a company that welcomes people from a diverse background and collate data so we measure your progress and improve where necessary.
