How uninspiring would it be if we employed people who all fitted into a cookie-cutter profile? So, we strive for a diverse and inclusive work environment where co-workers feel valued and recognised for their uniqueness and where inclusiveness is a reflex, not an initiative. Our aim is for Kent to be a place where people can thrive just being themselves. Where there is a common sense of belonging that transcends any role, business unit, language or country. We know through experience that different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that delivers better results.
Bringing our world the energy it needs in the most responsible way ever imagined, requires a team united both by exceptional talent and the ability to recognise and reflect the needs of the society we serve.
Our vision is that Kent is an embassy – no matter where in the world we are operating, our values apply, and our people can be themselves at work, with fair and equal access to opportunities, free from bias and discrimination.
We choose not to set tokenistic diversity targets as part of our strategy, conscious that we want to focus long-term on creating an inclusive culture where diversity thrives as an outcome of our work. We will track and measure progress on diversity measures, and will communicate on our progress against this strategy.
Since we came together as Kent in 2021, we've focused on establishing a global baseline for Inclusion & Belonging. We have appointed Karen Blanc as our Global Director of Inclusion and Belonging and built a global community of I&B Changemakers. Together they have prepared and launched our strategy and policy, and established a culture of allyship, kindness, curiosity and everyday inclusion.
At Kent, all of our countries follow our Inclusion Blueprint model, ensuring we take the actions necessary to promote and create a fair an inclusive workplace for our people. The Blueprint is a maturity model, which begins at the foundation level, where policies and procedures for inclusion may be less developed, and progresses through levels bronze, silver, gold, and platinum as these policies and practices are further developed and implemented.
At each level, countries must meet specific benchmarks or goals regarding inclusion to progress to the next level. This ensures that our regional teams, led by our Inclusion & Belonging Changemakers, have clear objectives to work towards; we'll see the progress we're making in real-time and be able to celebrate along the way.
In addition to our Blueprint model, we also strive to ensure that our everyday practices are inclusive by:
