Brighter Thinking leads to another TRI Award win!
Menzies are delighted to have collected an award at the 2022 Turnaround, Restructuring and Insolvency (TRI) Awards for Diversity and Inclusion.
The judge’s comments were as follows:
“Overall, a good nomination that covers a lot of the entry criteria, several schemes put forward by Menzies were highlighted as impressive by the judges. This included the launch of its ten-year diversity, equity and inclusion strategy – with its integration of employees within this strategy particularly standing out, with it setting up regular employee forums and interest groups.”
Commenting on our win, John Cullen, Head of the Menzies DEI team, and Business Recovery Partner, said:
“I am delighted we received this award. It shines a light on the hard work of my colleagues, the vision of my partners and the tremendous contribution of the team. We want to be able to reflect the communities within which we work and for the voices of those communities to be the voice of Menzies. The journey continues.”
ABOUT MENZIES’ DEI STRATEGY
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is one of the foundations of our people strategy.
At the start of 2021 we embarked upon a 10-year Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) strategy, focusing on the following areas, which we call the 5 R’s:
- Recognise – we have undertaken surveys to measure and understand who we are and where we are as a business. It is imperative to understand this information to develop trust across the Firm and to optimise how we manage differences, helping us on the path to making Menzies a better place to work. It will also enable us to demonstrate and measure our progress.
- Recruit – we are currently revisiting our visa schemes and working with specialist recruitment agencies to ensure we are recruiting fairly and inclusively and accessing new or less represented talent pools.
- Retain – we are delivering education for our partners and employees across many areas within DEI, including matters relating to unconscious bias, anti-racism, gender acumen, social mobility, and people with disability, which will contribute to making Menzies a place where all can thrive. We have also commissioned a full accessibility review, including scrutinising our digital resources, to ensure that no one is disadvantaged at work.
- Reward – periodic reporting and evidence of resultant action is also key. Therefore, we will continue our focus on diversity and inclusion data and tools such as gender pay gap reporting so that all employees are rewarded fairly.
- Relate – we are actively encouraging discussion amongst our communities to ensure inclusion, reflecting on the importance of different voices being listened to and understood.
