At Major Players, inclusion, collaboration and accountability are three of our core values.

Whilst we recognise we have more work to do to advance diversity and inclusion, we are fully committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, supports and celebrates the diverse voices of our employees.

We will strive to achieve this in the following ways:

Recruitment & Sourcing

We continually review our internal hiring processes to fairly evaluate candidates without bias through company-wide unconscious bias training. We have also developed our policies and benefits to attract a diverse mix of candidates and employees while regularly reviewing our advertising strategy to ensure we continue to attract a diverse pool of applicants.


On-Boarding

We provide our new hires with a supportive starter induction, including introductions to relevant policies and processes; and undergoing unconscious bias training from the start. Our new hires also receive regular check-ins from across the business as well as additional support requirements i.e. mental wellbeing, or other disability support etc. Furthermore, we collate new starter feedback to continually evaluate and improve our practises and procedures.

L&D Support

Our senior leadership and management team attend regular DE&I training, focussing on conceptual frameworks to implement across the business, ensuring education is provided company-wide. We provide equal access to training, development and promotional opportunities for all employees, ingraining inclusivity as a core competency. We also operate a company-wide mentorship scheme to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing.
 

Communication

Our communications plan places DE&I at the centre, establishing core values that are disseminated and understood throughout the business. We have established internal ‘Affinity Groups’ who directly shape and influence our business moving forward, recently helping to develop our DE&I Statement, along with other policies we that continue to support our diverse workforce including anti-discrimination and zero tolerance checklists.

We also publish regular staff surveys as well as hosting a wide variety of inclusive events including RAOK, Inclusion Week and educational workshops.


Benefits & Compensation

We continue to develop our benefits and compensation schemes to support a healthy work/life balance; creating flexible packages, tailored to individual lifestyles. We provide our employees with an unlimited holiday policy, enhanced maternity, paternity and parental leave, in addition to charity support and CSR.


Off-Boarding

For all leavers, we offer a fair and unbiased exit interview process with feedback shared with our board and MD to ensure we continue to develop our business in the right way.


Environment

We have ensured our Central London office is accessible for all, with ramps, lifts and equipment for those with needs and requirements.

Disability Confident Employer

We are a Disability Confident Committed Employer which ensures our recruitment processes are robust, inclusive and accessible; we provide an environment which is accessible for all, with ramps, lifts and equipment for those with needs and requirements; and also provide ongoing support to all employees.

The above is not exhaustive and always in review to ensure that we continue to build an inclusive and representative environment that we can be proud of. If you’d like to find out more about our commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion, then please get in touch with us via the below.
