Our values 

• Build partnerships: Partnerships power what we can achieve. We take the time to listen and understand people’s needs and aspirations so that we can meet them. Collaboration and inclusivity are at the heart of our approach, creating solutions together, learning from each other and sharing our knowledge and experience. That’s what supports strong relationships and enables shared success.  
• Think beyond: Our knowledge and ambition is what drives us forward. We challenge ourselves and our customers because we bring open, inquisitive minds that consider every angle and aren’t held back by “that’s the way we’ve always done it”. We see the big picture today while we build a long-term perspective of tomorrow that anticipates change and enables us to be confident and agile with our advice. That’s what makes us experts. 
• Do the right thing: We always act in the best interests of our candidates, our clients, our communities and each other. There is always more than one solution, and we want to find the right one every time, because every person and situation is different. We stand by our commitments, we keep our promises, and we treat everyone with the respect they deserve. That’s what earns trust. We believe that responsible companies should have Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at their heart.
  • Our global ED&I Council helps co-ordinate and drive our actions. We made progress in FY22 by further embedding UNSDG Goal 5: Gender Equality  in our strategy. We have set stretching targets on female representation in senior management. By 2025, we have committed to reach a level of 45% female leaders (FY22: 42% female) among our senior leadership of c.630 individuals, and to reach 50% by 2030.
