WORKING TO CLOSE THE GENDER DIVERSITY GAP

Campbell & Fletcher Recruitment are extremely proud to have signed and committed to actions to support the Women in Finance Charter. As an all-female company, closing the gender diversity gap is of high importance to us. As such, we have set out a number of internal and external targets to play our part in this movement.

THE CHARTER

  • Commits firms to supporting the progression of women into senior roles in the financial services sector by focusing on the executive pipeline and the mid tier level;
  • Recognises the diversity of the sector and that firms will have different starting points – each firm should therefore set its own targets and implement the right strategy for their organisation;
  • Requires firms to publicly report on progress to deliver against these internal targets to support the transparency and accountability needed to drive change.

As of September 2022, we have 100% female representation in our senior management team. We have supported one of our senior female consultants through a Masters Degree by providing the correct training, mentoring and empowerment to enable them to take on a senior role within our organisation. Moreover, we have continued to set aside necessary budgets for additional training and qualifications to support their career growth.

GOING THE EXTRA MILE

At Campbell & Fletcher Recruitment we recognise that that’s not enough, so we have also set a number of additional targets for external activities and we will monitor our performance against these targets and publish our results regularly; Our latest results are listed below.

We will commit to providing clients with a diverse shortlist of candidates and aim for at least 30% of applicants to be female.  

As at 11th November 2023 – we are currently delivering 31.8% Female candidates as part of a diverse shortlist – therefore meeting our commitment to Women In Finance Charter.

We will educate our new and existing clients about the importance of gender diversity, the need to close the gender pay gap and the Women in Finance Charter
