Last month we attended Recruitment International’s national recruitment awards ceremony, where we were up for both the Best Recruitment Company for Client Service & Diversity and Inclusion Champion.



While we didn’t walk away with either awards, we were beyond honoured to even be considered among the best of the best – especially when it came to Diversity & Inclusion.

Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace is a cause dear to our hearts, having been founded by two women in the early 90s. We aim to not only encourage diversity in our own company and our client’s, but we also want to encourage helpful & healthy discussion on the topic. This was our motivation for hosting a panel at Mirvac in February this year around the topic of Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace. We had a great turnout, with great discussion, tough questions, and potential solutions.

Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as merely meeting numbers – it’s about fostering an environment that is understanding and dedicated to achieving real diversity and allowing inclusion at all levels.

We are not this year’s Champion, but we will do our damn best to be next year’s, and the next, and the next, and the next. Not for the award, but because change is needed.
