Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Unlimited in Action: opening doors and enriching lives
Inclusion and diversity is important to us because we believe in equity of opportunity and the value of diverse thinking. At its core, a fundamentally inclusive culture where we can be our true self at work is both empowering and important to our happiness.
At Odgers Berndtson, we will always strive for a world of inclusion, diversity, tolerance and acceptance. In our new report, Unlimited in Action, we re-cap our purpose and some of the ways in which we deliver diversity for our clients and share our progress to date.

- Hiring who we hire defines who we are. Ensuring that we have the industry-leading systems and processes to find and attract the best talent, irrespective of background, is critical to our future success.
- Culture Creating a culture where everyone can develop, progress and flourish is a central pillar for our I&D strategy.
- Equity of Opportunity Taking into consideration individual needs is essential to achieve fairness for all. We are committed to ensuring equity of access to development and progression opportunities for all our colleagues.
For our Clients: We have received the highest level of accreditation for our diversity outcomes from the Cabinet Office and are proud that we will shortly introduce Diversity Monitoring across all our assignments. As well as this, across the business, colleagues have been creating programmes, hosting events, and writing content to encourage, promote and support diversity in their sectors and functions.
"Inclusion and Diversity is important to us because we believe in equity of opportunity and the value of diverse thinking. To realise the full potential of both our own and our clients’ organisations, we must create inclusive environments where diverse perspectives are valued and individuals are empowered to contribute, collaborate, and shape the future. Our strategy to achieve this is underpinned by measuring our performance against specific pledges, ensuring continuous progress and improvement."
What's next?
So much has been achieved, but our ambition does not stop here. We are proud of how far we’ve come over the last few years, in particular that inclusion and diversity rightly now occupies a central place in our collective consciousness.
We are committed to advancing Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) in Odgers Berndtson and the world at large. Find out more about Unlimited: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
