The Action Plan covers six key themes:
- Amazing people
- Having a voice
- Making it easy
- A chance to grow
- Valuing contributions
- Supply chain
Over the last year, Telent has been hard at work championing Diversity and Inclusion around the business and in the communities we operate in.
Our Steering Group has been working in partnership with a number of teams around Telent to drive the business further towards a “One Telent for all”. Together, we’ve worked incredibly hard to champion Diversity and Inclusion in every initiative that’s been introduced.
These initiatives have reaped positive rewards as colleagues have informed the group that they are more engaged than ever beforeand the feedback has been highly positive.
Launching Telent’s Action Plan
To move further forward, we’re proud to introduce Telent’s ED&I Action Plan which aims to take this vital work to the next level. It sets out a clear framework for how we will continue to make ED&I central to Telent’s culture. It outlines our aims and focuses over the next few years, ensuring that everyone is clear on what we want to achieve and how we’re going to get there.
