Clarke Telecom Earns Place in Top 100 Inclusive UK Employers Index for 2024
We are honoured that the National Centre for Diversity lists us in the Top 100 Inclusive UK Employers Index for 2024. This recognition is for our commitment to embracing and creating a workplace culture built on Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement (FREDIE).
The Top 100 Index celebrates organisations with exceptional dedication to embedding inclusive practices in their operations and culture. This acknowledgement reflects how we create a workplace where every employee is valued, respected, and can succeed.
A Commitment to Inclusivity
At Clarke Telecom, inclusivity lies at the heart of our operation. We provide accessible recruitment practices and support staff throughout their employment, and we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken to ensure fairness and equality for everyone on our team.
“It is our priority that we provide a workplace where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive,” said Rachael Stanner, Head of HR at Clarke Telecom. “We focus on meaningful actions that allow everyone to contribute, grow, and thrive.”
One example of this is through our Applicant Tracking Career Portal. The portal we launched earlier this year streamlines recruitment while prioritising accessibility. Thinking about the User Experience ensures applicants from all backgrounds can apply, review job opportunities, and engage with us.
“The Applicant Tracking Career Portal is a game-changer,” added Rachael. “By making the process more accessible and inclusive, we attract more candidates and find the best talent from diverse experiences.”
Celebrating the Team
Developing the inclusive culture that has led to this recognition is a credit to our employees.
Rachael commented, “This award reflects our incredible team at Clarke Telecom. Their openness, collaboration, and shared commitment to the principles of FREDIE make achievements like this possible. We are building a workplace that supports and celebrates everyone’s unique strengths, and I am proud to be a part of that team.”
We’re committed to continuing with efforts to enhance workplace diversity and inclusivity. Being in the Top 100 Inclusive UK Employers Index is a milestone and a motivator to push further, ensuring we remain leaders in demonstrating equality and belonging in every action and decision.
