Savills

Diversity and Inclusion

We believe in creating a space where everyone can thrive. This means embedding a culture where our people are all valued, respected and made to feel included. We carry this approach not just within our own teams, but also the communities, places and spaces in which we operate.

Our D&I vision is owned by everyone in the organisation, woven into policies, processes, training, recruitment principles and divisional strategies. We empower everyone to continually nurture and uphold an environment where employees and clients alike are able to be their true, whole selves.

 

Our diversity and inclusion strategy is made up of three key pillars: 

Attract

We will attract the most diverse talent at all stages of their career, from all backgrounds.

Our D&I Groups

Made up of highly motivated volunteers, these strategic working groups support the business with our D&I agenda. With clear deliverables, they ensure we continue to move forward, driving relevant change. They are supported by staff networks who focus on creating safe spaces, a sense of community and celebration moments.

Gender

Working to ensure everyone has the same access to opportunity and experience, no matter their gender.

Disability

Our goal is to create an accessible and inclusive business where people of all abilities can work for us, or with us, without barriers.

Ethnicity and Faith

We ensure that all cultural, religious and racial diversity is celebrated – never feeling like a barrier to being your true self at work.

Social Mobility

Educating and removing any barriers due to social backgrounds by supporting initiatives that drive social mobility, both in our organisation and the communities we operate within.

Age

We want to support our staff through every age and stage of their career with the right development, policies, support and benefits.

LGBTQ+

We work to provide an environment that enables everyone to be comfortable and confident to speak about their sexuality.
