Azets UK DE&I Strategy

Our DE&I strategy guides our ambitions, whilst holding us to account to deliver improvements against 3 key areas.

Learning about our colleagues and their backgrounds is fundamental to the formation of our DE&I initiatives. Our first area of focus is to further build our knowledge to understand how we can continue to drive progress in Azets UK. We commit to providing our team members with the training and support to confidently understand fundamental DE&I topics.

This will be achieved by increasing our employer brand to attract a diverse mix of candidates. We also commit to providing our internal talent with transparent career pathways and support and using fair and independent selection processes to ensure the best candidate is recruited.

Ensuring everyone, regardless of their background, feels included at Azets is at the core of our DE&I ambitions. We will support this in our business but also in the wider community by collaborating with local and national partners.

Recent Enhancements to Support Our DE&I Goals

Flexible Benefits

We've introduced buy/sell leave, agile bank holidays, and flexible working to support work-life balance.
