Download brochure Meet the TeamJo McCrae - Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Client Solutions DirectorAs a black woman with lived experienced and a mother of two children (a boy and a girl), Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is something I am extremely passionate about. Having worked at PageGroup for over 15 years I have seen PageGroup, and our clients evolve on their journey of bringing diversity and inclusion into the workplace.I have had the privilege of speaking at conferences on allyship and have recreated mentoring programmes focusing on gender and most recently ethnicity for my senior clients. I am happy to see the DE&I conversation evolving and including other underrepresented groups, so no one is left behind. I hope that my legacy statement within the recruitment arena will be, Joanna McCrae, an advocate for change in corporate Britain, keeping it relevant and responsive to society.Neal Craig - DE&I Resourcing Team, Senior ManagerAs a parent, you want your children to be a part of an inclusive society, where they’re able grow and thrive, adding to its diversity. To have grown up, outside the UK, experiencing the hostilities of an evolving environment that was known for limiting people’s access to opportunities based on their race, is something that has always impacted me. Things have improved, but there is so much more ground that needs to be made.Opportunities must be made available to all of society and the shortcomings addressed with urgency. The privilege of working in recruitment gives me the opportunity have a positive impact on the lives of candidates. Even more so when we can encourage DE&I values with our clients enhancing the positive approaches, ensuring everyone has access to the roles and employers they want to work with.Kim Bowler - Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Client Solutions Recruitment ConsultantIt is incredibly important to me to make everyone feel as though they can claim their space in the world and be proud to be ALL of themselves, not just the bits traditionally and historically expected.It has been a delight to speak with candidates who have been finding it difficult to make their way into paid work. I've found it a privilege to know as much about people as they will tell me, and because I have 10+ years of lived experience with a visible, physical disability along with a brain injury, I've found they're open to sharing a lot if there is someone who will hear what they have to say.I am an avid jigsaw puzzler, and this has become my motto for life as well as hobbies; there is the perfect place for every piece, and I would love to speak to you about where you'll fit.Saira Ali-khan - Associate Consultant DE&II joined Page Group through a supported internship with the DE&I teams: as someone with Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia, working in a place where I am not afraid to disclose that I am neurodivergent was incredibly important to me because of bad past experiences.Working in the DE&I Client solutions team, helping diverse candidates into roles where they will be fully supported the way I was is the best part of my role.Get in touchTo learn more or discuss a specific project please get in touch with us via:Email: [email protected]Tel: 07467000144 TestimonialsPageGroup's DEI team completed an end to end review of our recruitment process to assess our brand perception and inclusivity, we were provided with some really useful insights and feedback.
