Our investment into Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

DEI in recruitment matters to us, and we approach it in two ways. Internally, our own initiatives are embedded across Gravitas, giving every employee a fair and inclusive workplace. Externally, we offer this same expertise to clients, helping them strengthen their own DEI approach and widen their talent pool.

DEI at Gravitas

Gravitas is committed to an environment that celebrates different cultures, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, ages, religions, and abilities - a workplace our own Gravitonians are proud to be part of.

We're building a genuinely inclusive environment, growing everyone's knowledge and participation in DEI through training, education, events, and employee-led committees.

DEI commitment

Our leaders are held accountable for delivering our DEI vision, by setting standards, driving initiatives, and acting as role models. They're trained and equipped to have meaningful conversations about DEI with employees, candidates, and clients. We're committed to advancing an inclusive culture and building a better, more equitable working world for everyone we work with.

DEI vision

Our DEI vision statement is "To be recognised by our clients, candidates, and staff as a leader within Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through positive action in reducing bias. Our aim is to make a difference to the working world by supporting our clients, providing clear advice on DEI recruitment processes, and encouraging allyship across all our networks."

DEI mission

Our ongoing DEI mission is to build DEI principles into every part of our attraction, sourcing, and recruitment processes, as well as talent performance, advancement, and retention strategies. We use competency-based interviews to assess candidates on qualities like hard work, motivation, competitiveness, and resilience, rather than background. Our job descriptions are reviewed and amended to eliminate gender bias, using tools like the Gender Decoder website. Candidates are introduced to why DEI matters during our internal interview process, and our Workshop and Interview Days include a dedicated section on its importance, both inside Gravitas and beyond it.

Nurturing neuro-inclusivity

An estimated 20% of the population is neurodiverse, which means you could already be working in a neuro-diverse team without knowing it. By focusing on building a neuro-inclusive environment, we can make workplaces a safer space, one where neurodiverse employees can focus on their role and play to their strengths, rather than "masking" to appear neurotypical.

Inclusion breaks hiring barriers

When inclusion is built into your hiring process, it helps everyone reach their full potential. It starts with conscious interview processes that set the foundations for employee belonging in your culture.
