We have been awarded theNational Equality Standard(NES) in 2017. The NES is a ground-breaking initiative developed for business and by business, which sets clear equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) criteria against which companies will be assessed. It is supported by the Home Office and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). The Equality  and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) was involved  in its development and launch.

Workingmums.co.uk was launched in 2006 to connect employers offering flexible full time, part time or home based jobs with professional women seeking flexible positions.  As well as an active jobs board, franchise directory and community website, Workingmums.co.uk also works with employers to share and celebrate best practice in  gender diversity, flexible working, career progression for women, family support and returner programmes through a range of round-table events, research reports and  Awards. Additionally, our recruitment team offers search and selection services, placing permanent and contract staff into forward-thinking organisations who understand  the business benefits of employing talented individuals on a flexible basis.

The CITB Be Fair Framework is an industry specific standard which provides a structure for employers to address fairness, inclusion and respect within their  organisation. This is the very first industry specific equality framework, designed in consultation with the construction and built environment sector, which encourages  businesses to adopt practices which will enable them to maximise the rewards of our rich and diverse economy. It serves as guidance for those in the sector making a  commitment to change.The Framework is supported by the Construction Industry Leadership Forum for Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (with representation from key  industry stakeholders such as UKCG, Construction Alliance, CIC, ICE and CIOB). This is the main driving force within CITB’s FIR strategy for delivering cultural change  within the built environment and construction sector.
