Our commitment to diversity underpins everything we do. We believe that diverse, inclusive teams drive performance and innovation, helping to create greater business value.
The subject of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is complex and multi-faceted. It is not just about external appearances. At ISP we are acutely aware of the opportunities and challenges that exist. We work with our clients to build diverse and inclusive leadership teams which foster a culture of belonging throughout their organisations.
Unlocking potential
Diverse teams bring together a wide range of perspectives
Our search methodology gives us access to a wide range of under-represented candidates, ensuring we assess all candidates without bias. We understand the challenges you face and stand committed to unlocking leadership potential.
We work tirelessly to provide our clients with diverse long-lists and then work with you through the selection process to agree on suitably diverse short-lists. This often requires us to challenge our clients on what the absolutely essential characteristics and skills are for a role, versus the ‘nice to have’ experience and credentials.
OUR VALUESTo achieve equity and inclusion within an organisation, a workforce must be diverse.
We are strong advocates for the Board and senior leadership setting the tone from the top and leading by example.
Leadership groups must be diverse, in the broadest sense of the word, and it is widely recognised that truly diverse and inclusive teams perform better.
- We are signatories to the Women on Boards: Enhanced Voluntary Code for
Executive Search Firms. - We embed diversity in our search methodology. We have access to a range
of sources of high-quality diverse candidates, including through Women on
Boards and KPMG’s Connect On Board network. - One of our Partners was herself the only female on two Boards (including
a plc) so we understand first-hand the challenges and sensitivities that exist. - We are LGBTQ+ champions and allies. We are acutely aware that diversity
is not just about external appearances or cultural background. DEI is complex
and multi-faceted; something which our Partners understand and embrace.
