<h3>Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion</h3> There have been serious efforts over many years to reduce discrimination and prejudice. The phrase ‘diversity and inclusion’ is now routinely adopted, and businesses are starting to commit to improvements in hiring practices to encourage a more diverse workforce. The 2010 Equality Act provided a framework to help reduce discrimination and protect people in many aspects of their lives, including in recruitment practices and the workplace. Source Technology is fully committed to the Act, and the principles of diversity and inclusion are embedded into our working culture, forming a vital part of our daily business conduct. We are committed to treating everyone as equals and will never discriminate against any ‘protected characteristics’. We recognise our role in the creation of a wider culture that is free from discrimination, prejudice, stereotyping and labelling. This is how we work within our own business, and we work with clients, customers, candidates and business partners who also subscribe to these principles.

<h4>Organisational structure &amp; supply chain</h4>SGI is an international recruitment talent partner delivering technology talent for future focused organisations on a contract basis and/or for permanent employment. The company works with both local and international clients and contractors.SGI’s supply chains include (the list is not exhaustive) sourcing candidates for clients, which may involve the introduction of candidates to third party companies, and subsequent supply to their customers.<h4>SGI Policies in relation to Slavery and Human Trafficking</h4>As part of the recruitment sector, SGI recognises the responsibility to take a robust approach to slavery and human trafficking, including preventing the same in our corporate activities, and ensuring that SGI’s supply chain is free from slavery and human trafficking.SGI has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our own business or in any of our supply chains.Relevant SGI’s policies are listed below which and are reviewed on a regular basis:&nbsp;<ul class="lg-mx-4"><li>HR Procedures – SGI does not tolerate any threat of physical or sexual violence, harassment or intimidation against our employees. Relevant HR policies are clearly defined and communicated to all employees at the onboarding stage, and then via training sessions. The policies are made easily accessible and available to all employees in SGI’s internal database, as well as through the employee handbook;</li><li>Whistleblowing Policy – at SGI, we believe it is important that any fraud, misconduct or wrongdoing by anyone working with us is reported and dealt with appropriately. We, therefore, encourage all individuals to raise any concerns that they may have about the conduct of others in the business or the way in which the company is run. This policy applies to all employees and anyone working with us;</li><li>Health and Safety Policy – The Company regards the management of health and safety as an integral part of its business and as a management priority. It is our policy that all activities and work will be carried out in a safe manner and we will ensure the health, safety and welfare of our employees and others who may be affected by our activities. Our target is for zero accidents and zero work-related ill health to be achieved by applying current best practice in health and safety management. Compliance with current health and safety legislation is, therefore regarded as the absolute minimum standard acceptable;</li><li>Dignity at Work Policy – We will not tolerate bullying and harassment of any kind and will take any allegation very seriously. All allegations of bullying and harassment will be investigated and, if appropriate, disciplinary action will be taken, up to and including dismissal. In some cases, employees could be personally liable to pay compensation in legal claims and may amount to a criminal offence. We will also not tolerate the victimisation of a person for making allegations of bullying or harassment in good faith or supporting someone to make such a complaint. Victimisation is a disciplinary offence.</li></ul><h4>Due Diligence Processes</h4>We undertake due diligence when considering taking on new suppliers, and regularly review our existing suppliers.

SGI’s suppliers are expected to have relevant ethical, environmental and social policies.In order to ensure that our suppliers comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2015, we include a question on modern slavery and trafficking in the UK Umbrella - Onboarding Questionnaire which is reviewed annually.On top of that, SGI conducts strict compliance checks for all candidates we supply to the clients, including identity, right to work and employment history checks, any additional checks may be carried out from time to time, as required by the Client.As a business we are dedicated to support human rights and sustainability through regular reviews of our internal policies and processes.<h4>Training</h4>Training on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking, and on the risk our business faces from modern slavery in its supply chains is provided as necessary.This statement is made on behalf of Source Group International pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 ("The MSA") and comprises our slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year 2023.</

Women Who Lead - Episode 11

We could start this article by explaining all the ways that a business benefits from a truly inclusive workplace. Increases in productivity, bigger talentpool, broader perspectives. But the hope is, that if you&rsquo;re reading this you&rsquo;re already sold on the why. You&rsquo;re struggling with the how.
How do you create an inclusive future? How can the tech industry support and encourage more women to take on roles in the sector? What else can we do? We don&rsquo;t have all the answers, but we definitely have a starting point.
<h2><a name="_e8ls4e9sx8ip"></a>Current state of the tech industry</h2>
With a surge in demand for tech jobs the sector has seen an incredible recovery from the pandemic, with the number of tech jobs <a href="https://technation.io/jobs-and-skills-report-2021/">42% higher</a> in June 2021 then in June 2019. But what role do women play within those jobs?
As of 2022, women held just <a href="https://explodingtopics.com/blog/women-in-tech">26.7% of technology jobs </a>globally. That&rsquo;s not to say progress hasn&rsquo;t been made. Research by <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/technology/technology-media-and-telecom-predictions/2022/statistics-show-women-in-technology-are-facing-new-headwinds.html">Deloitte </a>shows that the 20 largest tech companies have maintained their momentum in gender inclusivity over the past two years. With overall female representation up just over 2% from 2 years prior.
The tech industry has always been male dominated. A <a href="https://www.pwc.co.uk/who-we-are/women-in-technology/time-to-close-the-gender-gap.html">PwC study</a> found that only 3% of women say a tech career is their first choice. That&rsquo;s something the industry is aware of and taking steps to address. But what&rsquo;s also clear is that more needs to be done to create a truly inclusive future and to make sure that women are front and centre in that future.
<h2><a name="_pxbej9valf8j"></a>How to create a more inclusive future?</h2>
For tech companies that are serious about creating a more inclusive workplace, workforce and future there are basic steps that can be taken. Focusing on supporting your employees, opening doors and leading by example tech firms can start to create a working environment that welcomes and supports women.
<h3><a name="_js7qn3ru2zkn"></a>Recognising the issue</h3>
The starting point is to be truly honest about your company's current situation. What&rsquo;s your gender balance? What&rsquo;s your gender pay gap? What&rsquo;s your flexible working policy and is it adhered to? How are you supporting women&rsquo;s career progression? Have you spoken to women in your workplace about their needs?
Taking an honest look at your inner-workings allows you to make informed decisions that help achieve an inclusive future, rather than guessing about what might help.
<h3><a name="_g8dw4hh97w6k"></a>Working culture</h3>
The tech industry is notorious for burnout and long-hours. For many women who take on the bulk of caring responsibilities that&rsquo;s simply not an option. After having one child, the <a href="https://www.thatworksforme.co.uk/guides-and-tools/careers-after-babies">Career after Babies report</a> found that 89% of all working mothers leave the full time workforce within 3 years of having children. Showing that full time work and long hours simply isn&rsquo;t sustainable with having a young family.
Tech companies need to build flexible working, whether that&rsquo;s compressed hours, working remotely, part time, job shares or any other measures into their working culture. With senior managers fully supporting and enforcing flexible working to make it a success.

With so few female leader role models, it makes it difficult for women to forge a path to the top, or have the belief that they can do it. That&rsquo;s where mentoring comes in.
Being paired up with a mentor helps women have a safe space to discuss any challenges they&rsquo;re facing, and navigate through them. In companies with established mentoring schemes they&rsquo;re found it helps develop leadership skills, increase self-confidence and navigate career obstacles. The results speak for themselves, with <a href="https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/podcast/knowledge-at-wharton-podcast/workplace-loyalties-change-but-the-value-of-mentoring-doesnt/">25% of mentees</a> advancing up a pay grade compared to 5% of non-mentored women.
From an employer&rsquo;s perspective mentoring can improve employee retention rates. With 49% of those surveyed in a case study by <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2022/07/14/driving-employee-retention-through-mentorship/?sh=5500159e11b6">Randstad </a>less likely to leave after participating in a mentoring program.
A mentoring program is a clever way not only to keep those in the tech industry engaged, but also to attract and support more women into the sector.
<h2><a name="_pxwvv2ysc5ab"></a>Investing in women</h2>
Creating a more inclusive future for women in the tech industry starts early. We need to look at initiatives that create interest from school years in STEM subjects and then keep girls interested throughout their further studies.
That requires investment, it requires forward thinking and it requires commitment.
There&rsquo;s no quick fix to creating a more inclusive future. But the tech industry can be the ones to pioneer change, to flex to support women and to create an environment where women thrive alongside their male counterparts.
Listening, flexibility and mentorship might not be the only things needed but they&rsquo;re a great starting point for any business to show their commitment to inclusivity and to start to move forward.

Women in Tech: Leading the way to a more inclusive future

If you think recruitment is just about Rolexes, click away now. Modern recruitment is about so much more than hitting your numbers and moving on. It&rsquo;s a place where you can build real skills, market knowledge and relationships. Ready to learn why working in recruitment is more than just sales? Read on.
&nbsp;
Skill-based career
You need more than the gift of gab to succeed as a recruiter. Yes, sales skills are important, but you&rsquo;ll also need to understand your market. This will help you to prepare for the shifts in demand and build a roster of clients &amp;amp; candidates effectively. You&rsquo;ll need communication skills to get at the heart of what opportunities suit your candidates. And you&rsquo;ll need project &amp;amp; <a href="https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newHTE_00.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">time management </a>skills to get role openings from brief to filled within strict deadlines. Can you earn very lucrative rewards? Absolutely, but there&rsquo;s a longer-term payoff to be had when you invest the time to build trust with your clients.
&nbsp;
Revolves around people
Modern recruitment firms aren&rsquo;t soulless CV databases. (There are virtual platforms that serve those purposes.) The modern agency is about creating relationships and providing great customer service to clients and candidates alike. When the <a href="https://www.zippia.com/advice/average-number-jobs-in-lifetime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">average person changes jobs 12 times</a> across their lifetime, you&rsquo;ll want to be the preferred partner for those moves. Now, instead of placing one person in one role and moving on, you&rsquo;re taking a strategic approach. You&rsquo;re thinking about the career journey of your candidates and earmarking them for opportunities on the horizon. You&rsquo;re also working with your client&rsquo;s on their succession planning and recruitment strategy. On both sides of the equation, your value is in your expert knowledge and relationships.
&nbsp;
That&rsquo;s what allows you to <a href="../../../../../../leave-ordinary-behind-join-our-team-and-discover-your-potential/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">leave the ordinary</a> behind and forge a successful career in recruitment.

Why working in recruitment is more than just sales

For most companies, the idea of losing talented staff and having to spend time and money on recruitment is a complete nightmare. Every business book will tell you the same thing &ndash; retaining staff will only bring you benefits. It doesn&rsquo;t always have to be this way, though.
&nbsp;
Here at Xplore Life Science, we pride ourselves on our ability to think outside the box. We often hear from our clients telling us how terrible it is to lose their talent unexpectedly, but we encourage them to think outside the box too &ndash; that is, retaining staff is not always for the best. It is most of the time &ndash; don&rsquo;t get us wrong. But we can give you some reasons why it might not be.
&nbsp;
Keep on reading for our take on the matter.
&nbsp;
Save Money
&nbsp;
Not everything is about money, but a lot of things are. We&rsquo;re in business, after all, and making money is the main objective.
&nbsp;
The important thing here is that retaining staff usually means giving that person a raise in their salary. We&rsquo;re not talking small raises here, either. To make someone stay in a place they don&rsquo;t want to stay, you have to make it worth their while &ndash; you have to give them a considerable salary raise.
&nbsp;
Is the person you want to keep worth the money? You could bring in someone else for the same salary or maybe even less. Once you raise one person&rsquo;s salary, it can have a bit of a snowball effect &ndash; you often have to raise other salaries as well once other employees get word of it.
&nbsp;
Loyalty
&nbsp;
Let&rsquo;s put it plain and simple here. Do you really want someone working for you who doesn&rsquo;t want to be there? We&rsquo;re not talking about people not wanting to be at work and just staying home &ndash; we&rsquo;re talking about people who are actively looking for ways out of your business, people who are talking to other companies and are ready to leave at any moment.
&nbsp;
When employees get to this stage, there&rsquo;s no way they&rsquo;re doing their best work. It isn&rsquo;t mentally possible. Even if you hike up their salary and give them other benefits too, it will probably only be a temporary thing &ndash; sooner or later, they&rsquo;ll be knocking at your office door again.
&nbsp;
Improve The Culture
&nbsp;
Following on from our last point, if you let go of people who don&rsquo;t really want to be there, you might find that the culture of your office or workforce gets an unexpected uplift.
&nbsp;
At the end of the day, when you have one bad egg in a batch, that negativity is likely to spread to others. That bad egg is probably telling other staff members all about how they want to leave, why they want to leave, and what they&rsquo;ve seen on offer elsewhere, leading to another snowball effect of staff all handing in their notices.
&nbsp;
Bring In New Ideas
&nbsp;
Bringing in new talent is all about bringing in new ideas into the business. All it takes is a slightly different outlook from your new employee, and you could revolutionise your procedures and strategies.
&nbsp;
You have to weigh up whether the person leaving has very niche knowledge that you can&rsquo;t afford to lose, or if they&rsquo;re perhaps just a little stuck in their ways and you could replace them with someone more original.
&nbsp;
Take Everything Into Consideration
&nbsp;
For us, taking everything into consideration is the most important thing to do when trying to decide whether retaining staff or letting them go is the best option. Go through everything on our list and try to weigh up whether these points may play a factor when making your decision.
&nbsp;
Some of the points may be more pertinent than others, and you have to decide whether they will affect your business. For example, if you&rsquo;re not in need of saving money, but you really value loyalty, you still might want to let that person go.
&nbsp;
