FY25 DE&I Achievements

  • All leaders are required to have an inclusion goal as part of their annual objectives
  • We recognised several days of significance across the year with globally aligned plans:
    • World Mental Health Day 2024
    • International Women’s Day 2025, the theme being‘working for her tomorrow’ and how we further support and enable women to thrive
    • Pride 2025 focused on #UnitedInPride, and the importance of allyship. Leaders shared their stories of what allyship means to them. Country activity included collaboration in ANZ with The Rainbow Shoelace Project, participation in local Pride parades across the globe and in Germany, we were the main sponsor of the Christopher Street Day parade in Mannheim
  • We featured in the top 100 Financial Times/ Statista 2025 Diversity Leaders list rising to 84th in this year’s list, up from 154th last year (FT-Statista 2025 Diversity Leaders ranking and methodology)
  • We agreed equity standards for globally consistent minimum parental leave offerings with introduction of care leave and inclusive language guidance
  • Hays ANZ was awarded Bronze Tier Status in the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI), a prestigious recognition for LGBTQIA+ inclusion
  • In Germany we established a new ERG ‘IMPULSE’: Inclusion, Mental & Physical Health, Participation, Unrestricted, Performance (German: Leistungsfähig), Safe Space, and Empowerment, focusing on breaking down taboos and stigmas surrounding disability and chronic illness
  • In March 2025, the UK&I introduced a new Menopause Policy, and in June we received external accreditation as a Menopause Friendly Employer, the first recruitment consultancy to do so
  • We also hired a new Global Head of DE&I and Culture, focused on helping us build on our current work in this important space.
 
 

 

We are committed to attracting diverse talent and maximising our people’s potential, and our commitment to DE&I is fundamental to unlocking that potential. Our promise to colleagues and clients is to do the right thing around people, thinking beyond on diversity, putting inclusion first and building partnerships with clients and candidates to create an inclusive and diverse tomorrow for Hays and the communities we serve.

 

 

THE EXPERTS’ VIEW
EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS

We have established over 20 Employee Resource Groups worldwide in the last two years. These groups exist to foster better communication and cultural learning across Hays.

What is your Employee Resource Group’s main goal/ambition for FY25?

“In FY25, our ERG plans to create mentoring programmes. This will enable our people to build networks – internally and externally – and support each other to succeed. We will seek to amplify the great work we are doing through connecting with clients and driving gender equality beyond our own organisation.”

What has been the biggest impact of your ERG for the wider Hays community?

“The launch of our mentoring programme. Twenty senior female leaders have partnered with more junior counterparts. This has led to impactful conversations in a safe space, significant personal development and network building.

We also hosted two highly visible panels for International Women’s Day. These focused on the importance of allyship, and the impact of AI on the world of work from a gender perspective.”

“The increase in pay for primary parents is a clear signal we recognise the contribution of our people as their lives and priorities develop. We have also sought to influence management so our people experience meaningful support pre-and post-long-term family friendly leave.

This recognises colleagues’ changes in priorities and aligns to continuing career progression. Also, our expertise in the world of work has supported parents in preparing their children for life after education through workshops on CV writing, interviewing and career planning offered directly to children.”
