True workplace diversity is necessary for a company’s growth and success.

It’s easy to claim but harder to prove.

Businesses have to show their commitment to the cause and put conscious effort to make employees feel included.

And the hard work pays off, resulting in a positive impact for everyone involved.   

Diverse, inclusive organisations lead to more productive, happier teams.

You solve problems faster, you’re more innovative, your talent pool grows, and you’ll find you have a better understanding of the world around you.

This is especially important for recruiters who want to hire and retain the best talent.

So here are six recruitment companies who practice what they preach, promoting diversity within their teams and clients alike.
