Diversity
HLK has an unwavering commitment to diversity and maintaining an inclusive working environment in which everyone can fulfil their potential and maximise their contribution. Our colleague led working groups on D&I and Mental Health were established not only to ensure that every person within HLK enjoys a sense of belonging, but is also treated fairly and respectfully. According to 2019 colleague satisfaction survey, 81.25% of colleagues said they thought HLK was a good place to work.
As one of the earliest Charter signatories of ‘IP Inclusive’, an industry-wide group aiming to raise awareness and improve equality, diversity and inclusivity in the IP community, we take this commitment seriously. Our leadership team actively participate in IP Inclusive’s senior leaders’ diversity think tank and are proud to make the following pledges. To this end we run bi-annual Progress And Contribution Talks (PACTs) for all colleagues, that not only identify and prioritise training and development opportunities, but actively seek insights from colleagues about how we can remain their employer of choice.
