Galliford Try achieves Bronze for Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Galliford Try has been awarded Bronze for its commitment to embedding inclusive practices across the organisation in its first review under the Clear Assured scheme, a globally recognised standard for inclusion.

The benchmark assesses wide-ranging areas that influence the diversity of an organisation including include work on recruitment processes, commitment to flexible working and inclusive working environments.

Achieving the Bronze standard reflects a cultural shift in recruitment and retention practices, where embedding inclusivity is recognised as core to strategy.

The Group will continue to work with The Clear Company to develop its approach to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) in 2023, focusing on the areas where it has the opportunity to make the most significant impact including more focused ED&I education and awareness.

Commenting on the achievement, Chief Executive Bill Hocking, said: “Prioritising inclusivity is a key part of our Sustainable Growth Strategy as it facilitates the diversity of thought, innovative approaches and experiences that create stronger, better-balanced teams. As a people-orientated, progressive organisation, we are therefore delighted to mark this first milestone with The Clear Company and look forward to retaining momentum in this very important area.”
