DIVERSITY We measure it because it matters The Sammons Group is an EQuality Assured recruiter (as endorsed by the REC), and is committed to promoting diversity in the workplace. To help us measure how effective we have been in communicating with and attracting a diverse range of people to work with, you are requested to complete this form and return it with your application form. Copies of our diversity policy are available upon request. We are sensitive to the fact that some people would rather not complete diversity forms - either because they fear the information will be misused, or because they consider some of the questions to be highly personal. We would like to put your mind at rest. We promise that this information is kept separate from the information used in recruitment decisions, and where it is shared with clients we have obtained guarantees that they will not use the information to influence recruitment decisions either. All information is strictly confidential, and is PURELY for statistical purposes – only shared with a restricted number of authorised personnel. We will not discriminate against individuals who decide not to complete the form. However, we ask that as many people as possible agree to help us measure diversity – because it matters to us.
