Diversity

A team that’s diverse

At PageGroup we know that a diverse team brings different perspectives and insight into our business, generating creativity, problem-solving and sustainability that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.

Our inclusive culture creates opportunities for everyone. We recognise and appreciate that every individual is different and we want to make sure our people are comfortable bringing their true selves to work. It includes a broad range of activities, networks and memberships. 

Different initiatives like Women@Page, Parents@Page, Family@Page, Pride@Page, Ability@Page, Age@Page and Unity@Page represent the six dimensions of our global diversity promise:
