4yHi There.
Thank you for your feedback and for your comments. We sincerely appreciate them and welcome any opportunity to improve what we do.
Whilst we respect your opinion, we also feel the need to respond to your comments - specifically about diversity and inclusion, which I consider to not be a fair appraisal of THRYVE and who we are.
One of the things I am most proud of is the diversity of our team. Our senior management team is made up of women, people from BAME backgrounds and people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
What’s more, our wider team is made up of men and women from all walks of life, as well as many ethnicities and nationalities.
Historically, since our inception in 2014, almost 40% of our team has been female, and 35% of our team have come from a non White-British background.
There’s still more to do.
We held events in 2021 focused on diversity and inclusion, championed by the entire team and led by someone who is passionate about this very topic and who has direct experience of the issues caused by a lack of diversity and inclusion. We have a core Charter dedicated to the very practice of increasing our awareness and practice of diversity and inclusion, and indeed using our platform to help our client partners improve their efforts in this area.
In 2022 and beyond, our core value of empathy will continue to guide our growth strategy, and at the heart of that lies a genuine, true commitment to being one of the most diverse Companies in London.
The great thing about our recruitment industry is that it doesn’t discriminate. Anybody can achieve their goals and ambitions, and we want to help as many of our team achieve those goals as possible.
Thank you, once again, for your opinion.
