Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI)

Here, at Careers4Change, we are champions of JEDI; Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, supporting a comprehensive approach to fostering workplaces and communities that are fair, inclusive, and respectful. We feel it is important to highlight the significance of diverse representation and inclusiveness but also reiterate the necessity for justice and fairness in processes, decisions, and opportunities.

In our interconnected global context, fuelled by a profound awareness raised by movements like Black Lives Matter and stark disparities unveiled during the pandemic, we must continuously analyse and enhance our strategies towards Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

For impact finance organisations poised to ignite social change, nurturing a diverse, resilient, and innovative workforce is pivotal. Beyond just equality of opportunity across all demographics – including gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability and neurodivergence – it’s about empowering every individual to bring forth their unique perspectives, thereby enriching the collective decision-making process, seeding innovative ideas, and fortifying risk management.

Strategic Incorporation of JEDI in Recruitment Processes:

• Inclusive Culture: Champion an inclusive culture by recognising and valuing the wide spectrum of diversity across the organisation.
• Celebration of Diversity: Proactively celebrate and honour different cultural, religious, and experiential backgrounds within the workforce to enhance organisational unity and respect.
• Unconscious Bias Training: Implement robust training programmes targeting Line Managers and all employees, focused on understanding and mitigating unconscious bias in all its forms.
• Transparent JEDI Commitment: Communicate the organisation’s commitment to JEDI through all recruitment channels, including Job Ads and Descriptions.
• Anonymising Recruitment: Adopt anonymised recruitment processes where names and educational establishments are omitted from CVs to minimise bias and ensure merit-based selection.
