Insights from leaders in the Zebra People podcast

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Zebra People

Fundamental to our success is having a diverse workforce. We are steadfastly committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment not just for our own team, but for our clients too.

How do we support our Clients?

We want to shift the conversation in a more meaningful, and impactful direction. We consult with our Clients on a deeper level – helping them to not just attract diverse talent but retain it too. The recruitment industry as a whole is responsible for 50% of all UK hires every year. We want to use this influence for good, and ensure that talent pools are widened, and that every hire thrives in ethical and inclusive environments.

We provide comprehensive analysis of clients’ recruitment processes to identify and address any potential biases or barriers to diversity.

We help our clients craft job descriptions that attract and speak to a diverse pool of candidates.

We review and recommend enhancements to clients’ benefits and policies to ensure they support a diverse workforce.

We assist clients in developing a compelling Employer Value Proposition that resonates with diverse talent.

We consult with clients to ensure their recruitment processes are accessible and inclusive.

We provide guidance on organising events that are inclusive and welcoming to all employees and candidates.
