Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Policy

Advance Agility Ltd – Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DEI) Policy 

Purpose

At Advance Agility Ltd, we are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone is treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, and where all individuals — regardless of background, identity, or personal circumstances — have the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
We believe that embracing diversity and promoting inclusion strengthens our culture, drives innovation, and enhances the quality of the services we deliver.

Key Commitments

• Zero Tolerance for Discrimination:
  We maintain zero tolerance for any form of discrimination, harassment, or victimisation based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic background, or any other protected characteristic.

• Merit-Based Decisions:
  All decisions related to recruitment, progression, promotion, pay, and training are based solely on skills, qualifications, performance, and potential, never on personal characteristics.

• Fair Pay & Equal Opportunities:
  We are committed to equal pay for equal work and ensuring all employees and contractors have fair access to career opportunities, professional development, and training.

• Inclusive & Supportive Environment:
  We promote flexible working arrangements where possible, provide reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities, and prioritise employee wellbeing, psychological safety, and belonging in all aspects of work life.

• Education & Awareness:
  We deliver ongoing training on unconscious bias, inclusive behaviours, and cultural competence, ensuring our teams are equipped to create and maintain an inclusive workplace culture.

• Measurement & Accountability:
  We regularly monitor workforce diversity data and gather employee feedback to identify areas for improvement.
  Progress is tracked through our ESG performance reporting and internal reviews.

Governance & Review

• This policy is owned by the Board of Directors, with day-to-day implementation and oversight led by the HR & Training Manager.

• The policy is reviewed annually to ensure compliance with UK Equality legislation and alignment with best practices in workplace inclusion.

• Diversity and inclusion metrics are published as part of Advance Agility Ltd’s annual ESG disclosures, demonstrating transparency and accountability.
