At BIE we are committed to creating a voice that raises the profile of social mobility as a key consideration within the executive search market. Our belief is that social mobility drives diverse hiring and helps our clients create more inclusive teams.
While delivering visibly diverse shortlists goes some way to changing the agenda, partnering with our clients, we prefer to challenge and encourage the consideration of talent from wider socioeconomic backgrounds.
Doing this increases equal opportunity for all and creates leadership teams with diversity of thought that drive results and innovation.
The results are there for all to see:
Ensuring our consulting teams are educated and able to consult with clients on how social mobility can drive diversity, inclusion and business results is a core part of our internal training and education.
As part of our social mobility agenda at BIE, we are committed to enhancing opportunities for young people from underprivileged backgrounds by providing them with access to the essential skills necessary to succeed in their careers.
We admire the work of both Drive Forward Foundation and The Aldridge Foundation and are incredibly pleased to announce our three-year partnership with both organisations. They both share the belief that meaningful support and sustainable careers offer the best hope for young people to master the challenges in front of them and build positive futures for themselves.
Throughout our partnership, we will be hosting a range of skills workshops, mentoring sessions and fundraising events which aim to equip young people with the key skills needed to enter the workplace and thrive throughout their careers.
If you would like to donate to this cause please use our fundraising page here. All donations will be split equally between Drive Forward Foundation and The Aldridge Foundation.
