Diversity
An inclusive, collaborative, and empowering environment
The Higgs commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is woven into the fabric of our business, reflecting our belief that every individual deserves equal opportunities. We envision a workplace where diversity is not just embraced, but celebrated and where inclusion is a guiding principle in everything we do.
This commitment to equality begins with our hiring practices. We strive to ensure that our workforce reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. To achieve this, we have implemented blind recruitment processes, reducing unconscious biases from our selection procedures. We actively seek candidates from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, fostering an environment where everyone has a fair chance to thrive.
Celebrating every individual's contribution
Diversity, for us, is an ongoing journey, not a destination. We’ve established employee resource groups that serve as safe spaces for open dialogue and shared experiences. These groups, covering a range of topics and identities, provide support, mentorship and a platform for our team members to contribute to shaping an inclusive culture.
In our pursuit of inclusion, we prioritise ongoing education and awareness. Our team members participate in regular diversity and inclusion training, fostering an environment where people are equipped to challenge biases and contribute to a more inclusive workplace.
Embracing the diversity of our people enriches our workplace
We also conduct regular surveys to gather feedback, ensuring that our initiatives evolve to meet the changing needs of our diverse team.
Beyond our internal efforts, Higgs extends its commitment to inclusion into the legal services we provide. We ensure accessibility and cultural sensitivity, offering legal solutions that resonate with the diverse needs of our clients.
At Higgs, we are not just fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace; we are building a community where everyone has the opportunity to excel. We pride ourselves on being a business where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is intentional and opportunities are accessible to all.
