Our Vision

THG is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive & supportive work environment, comprised of talented, motivated individuals which reflect the communities that we operate in. The Diversity Lead and Advisors will collaborate with the Diversity & Inclusion Committee (established in 2020) to work towards this vision.

To ensure we have direction, THG has implemented a Diversity & Inclusion Strategy which is comprised of four key pillars:
Visibility & Representation

THG has committed to improving the diversity data we collect, ensuring it is accurate and representative of our community. We are also creating safe and supportive spaces where individuals can speak up and be heard, especially those from underrepresented communities.

Learning & Development

As an employer we have a responsibility to provide every employee with an abundance of knowledge to ensure our employees are not only correctly informed and respectful, but also satisfied and motivated in the workplace to implement diversity and inclusion into everything they do.
