Springfield Training Commits to Inclusive Employment Practices by Signing the Social Recruitment Covenant
Springfield Training is proud to announce its significant commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce by officially signing the Social Recruitment Covenant. This strategic move underlines our dedication to socially responsible recruitment practices, aiming to remove employment barriers and create equitable opportunities for individuals facing social disadvantages.
The Social Recruitment Covenant, is supported by the Social Recruitment Advocacy Group (SRAG), and addresses the critical need for accessible and inclusive employment practices that utilise the untapped potential within disadvantaged communities. By signing the covenant, we join a growing movement of organisations dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and the fabric of society.
The Covenant encourages employers to:
• actively pursue and implement recruitment strategies that are inclusive, aiming to recruit from disadvantaged groups. This includes, but is not limited to, NEET youth, unpaid carers, ex-offenders, and people with disabilities
• Support, retain, and develop individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds,
• Collaborate with community partners for fair education and employment opportunities
• Promote inclusive social recruitment practices within supply chains.
"We want the covenant to drive action that will break down barriers to employment. By signing the Covenant, employers are showing their commitment to supporting people who are most at risk of long-term unemployment, back into work. This not only benefits the individuals, but also drives greater levels of social mobility and captures the talents of many people currently facing barriers.” The Rt Hon Anne Milton, Chair of the SRAG.
Springfield Training's commitment to the Social Recruitment Covenant is more than a pledge; it's an actionable strategy integrated into the fabric of our business operations. The company looks forward to collaborating with the SRAG, PeoplePlus (SRAG Secretariat) and other covenant signatories to share best practices, learn from collective experiences, and contribute to a fairer job market enriched by diversity and strengthened by opportunity.
