Better, together
As a people business, we recognise that much of our value lies in your unique experiences, backgrounds and viewpoints and how we can bring these to the table when we are providing our clients with the insight, advice and service excellence that they need from us.
That’s why we continue to be committed to supporting a working environment where we all feel welcomed, valued and empowered to achieve our full potential; where our diversity is our strength and where there are no barriers to success and achievement.
Our LSHTogether programme is how we will drive this going forwards; encouraging and supporting a culture that celebrates our diversity and promotes inclusion.
We look forward to sharing ways that you can get involved and help shape our future.

Data monitoring
When developing programmes and initiatives to help drive diversity & inclusion, it is really helpful for us to understand how our workforce is made up. Understanding who our people are helps us to make sure any changes we make are relevant, have impact and are valued.
Updating your personal profile within CoreHR is easy to do. Its confidential and we only ever report using consolidated data. That means all of the data is anonymised and individuals cannot be identified.
