We are firmly into the Festive period now with only 7 days until Christmas and 2 weeks until the New Year. A time to reflect and be thankful. It's been an extraordinarily challenging year for many, but we've been extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and work with some amazing people over the last 12 months on some incredible projects. Despite the huge obstacles faced and restrictions imposed on people, we've witnessed real innovation in people and businesses. Coupled with a resolute determination to succeed in the face of adversity, this year has seen many resultant success stories.

We look forward to a healthier New Year for everyone and wish all of our clients, friends and family the very best for the holiday season and New Year.

Promoting Diversity & Inclusion through Remote Working

The case for a more diverse workplace has been around for ages, but Covid has expedited the uptake of remote working in a move which has the potential to bring significant positive change in D&I.

Before Covid, D&I was likely a key agenda item, but the reality for many HR teams is that D&I has recently found itself on the back burner as companies focus on business continuity and risk mitigation. But as organisations start to move away from crisis management, it’s the ideal time to reconsider D&I and the benefits of operating within a remote working environment.

Covid has shone a light on people, their personal situations and needs. In response, many HR teams have been flexible and made significant adjustments. Through targeted support, they have helped people flourish in the current difficult times. It is crucial now, that we do not lose momentum and revert to old ways of working.

Digby Morris are champions of diversity in the workplace and to date have successfully hired from 120 different nationalities to jobs in over 90 countries globally. If you’re seeking staff, get in touch at [email protected]

The Covid-19 pandemic has created enormous challenges for employers this year with international restrictions on overseas travel and obtaining employment visas for foreign nationals in many countries in which we work.

With companies facing the frequently insurmountable obstacle of hiring exclusively from a domestic market where skills shortages may be rife, it’s imperative to have a recruitment partner which has the resources to dig deep and pe*****te local talent pools. Digby Morris goes beyond the low hanging fruit and easily identifiable candidates on social media and professional networking sites which many people are dependent on. We operate a basis of referral and off-grid networking to enable us to offer employers far greater market coverage and wider access to people to plug their skills gap.
