Equality, Diversity & Inclusion at Banyards
At Banyards, equality, diversity, and inclusion are at the heart of our culture. Our Equality Policy, aligned with the Equality Act 2010, ensures protection against discrimination based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. This policy applies to all staff, whether full-time, part-time, or temporary, fostering a workplace free from harassment and bias.
Our Ethical Business Practice Policy reinforces fairness, transparency, and integrity. Through regular training, we empower employees to address unacceptable behaviours and report incidents confidently. The Banyards Way, our code of conduct, promotes respect, accountability, and collaboration, ensuring every voice is valued.
We actively promote diversity through initiatives like Make Banyards Better, a staff-led committee that provides a platform for employees to share ideas and drive positive change. Flexible hybrid working supports work-life balance, accommodating diverse needs and enhancing well-being.
We maintain active partnerships with colleges such as London Southbank Technical College, offering work experience placements and deliver talks that provide students with guidance, insight into the sector, and exposure to our professional experience. Through these initiatives, we help broaden access to the industry and strengthen our commitment to developing a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline.
Our commitment to diversity has strengthened our reputation as a forward-thinking, socially responsible business. With a multinational workforce and increasing female representation in a male-dominated industry, we reflect modern Britain and attract top talent.
Our Investors in People (IiP) Gold accreditation reflects our inclusive culture. Our 2025 IiP survey scored 788, surpassing the industry average of 728, with 100% of employees agreeing Banyards is a great place to work.
We embrace a multinational approach to recruitment and are proud to attract talent from Spain, Hong Kong, Ghana, and beyond. This diversity enables us to address skill shortages effectively and ensures our team reflects the clients, customers, communities, and sectors we serve.
We’re looking for people who want to join our team and make a real difference, enhancing the business with their expertise. Because we know ‘you make the business’, we’ll do everything we can to be a great employer!
