Churchill Group has earned gold-level membership status with the Social Recruitment Advocacy Group (SRAG), an organisation created by PeoplePlus to encourage and support positive changes in recruitment practices.
SRAG recognises companies that actively work to make recruitment more inclusive, and Churchill Group was one of the founding co-signatories of the Social Recruitment Covenant. This initiative, launched by PeoplePlus, promotes hiring practices that focus on disadvantaged groups to help create a more equitable workforce.
Achieving gold-level membership reflects Churchill Group’s commitment to social value and inclusive hiring. The company has developed a diverse and welcoming workplace through innovative social recruitment strategies. These efforts include partnerships with community organisations, investments in skill development programs, and a strong commitment to providing sustainable employment opportunities for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Melanie Taylor, group HR director at Churchill Group, said: “We’re delighted to receive gold accreditation so soon after joining SRAG. The FM sector is so broad, and we recognise the opportunity we have to engage with and hire from traditionally disadvantaged groups. We’re stronger with a more diverse workforce and look forward to leading FM in social recruitment, as well as supporting other organisations in SRAG.”
Kenny Boyle, group managing director at PeoplePlus, said: ” The Social Recruitment Advocacy Group strives for a society where everyone can reach their potential. Our dedication to social impact and collaboration enables us collectively to create a more inclusive and empowered society. Churchill Group has attained the gold level, demonstrating their dedication to social value and social recruitment. Their efforts are very impressive. We are proud to have them as part of our Advocacy Group, and their commitment is making a valuable impact on individuals and society.”
