Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Commitment
Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace.
At Urban Digital Recruitment, we are committed to championing diversity and inclusion (D&I) by connecting businesses with exceptional talent from a wide range of backgrounds. Our focus extends across all aspects of diversity, including age, culture, ability, race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation.
We strongly believe that a diverse workforce drives innovation, fosters creativity, and enhances overall business performance. By partnering with Urban Digital Recruitment, you can hire top talent that brings unique perspectives and insights, helping you build teams that reflect the richness of diverse experiences.
We are proud to present up to 30% of candidates for each vacancy from underrepresented groups, including women, ethnic minorities, individuals with disabilities or neurodiversity, and LGBTQ+ candidates, among others. This commitment ensures that diversity is not just a goal, but an integral part of the recruitment process.
Supporting Neurodiverse Talent
Navigating the world of work can be particularly challenging for individuals with neurodiverse conditions, including ADHD, autism, dyspraxia/DCD, and dyslexia. While many neurodiverse individuals go on to have successful and fulfilling careers, others face obstacles that can make entering or thriving in the workplace more difficult.
Common challenges may include issues with communication, distractibility, time management, memory, interpersonal skills, procrastination, hyperactivity, and difficulty managing complex projects. If neurodiversity goes undiagnosed or untreated into adulthood, it can affect career progression, job stability, and professional reputation.
At Urban Digital, we recognise the unique potential of neurodiverse candidates and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where talent from all backgrounds can thrive. We actively seek to connect businesses with diverse talent, including those with neurodiversity, ensuring that employers can benefit from a broader range of perspectives and skills.
Rebecca, a Cofounder of Urban Digital, is personally passionate about raising awareness around neurodiversity as she has been on this journey with her own daughter. She is dedicated to advocating for early diagnosis and support, as she believes that a proper diagnosis can empower individuals to understand their strengths and challenges. This self-awareness not only enables them to navigate their careers more effectively but also helps them to build confidence and succeed in the workplace.
At Urban Digital, we are committed to helping neurodiverse talent find meaningful work and ensuring businesses recognise the immense value that diversity brings to their teams.
Working Parents.
Only 5% of leadership positions in the UK technology industry are held by women. This needs to change. At Urban Digital, we know first-hand the challenges of balancing a busy career with raising a family.
It is because of our own experiences that we are so passionate about supporting others. We partner with businesses to help them find flexible solutions in order to continue to source, secure and retain this highly talented workforce – of working mums/parents.
Mental Health in the Workplace.
As we continue to embrace our new normal, many people are finding themselves affected directly and/or indirectly by the global pandemic the ongoing lockdown restrictions and our new fully remote working world.
Urban Digital are proud to partner with companies, who go above and beyond in order to support their employees, through any difficult periods of their life.
