Diversity
Our policies and practices are written to ensure that people understand what is required, the importance of complying and the consequences of not doing so. We encourage our people to report suspected discrimination or harassment by using formal procedures laid out in our antibullying, whistleblowing and Dignity at Work policies. We also have a telephone helpline which allows disclosures to be made in confidence.
As a security company, with a clear weighting towards traditionally male-dominated occupations, we face challenges in driving the diversity and inclusion agenda. However, we work hard on this as part of normal business practice and in 2008 signed an agreement with Remploy, a specialist employment services organisation.This agreement will open up opportunities for people with disabilities and health conditions to work at more than 1,000 sites operated byTrillium and provided with security services by G4S. However, there is still much to be done to raise awareness of the business benefits of diversity, and to implement strategies to harness these benefits.Therefore at the end of 2008, the role of Group Head of Diversity and Talent was created to develop and implement a diversity strategy across G4S globally.
