At fp Frank Partners, we know our strength lies in our people. By embracing our differences and fostering an inclusive and supportive community of professionals, we drive innovation, enhance collaboration, and better serve our clients and communities.
We recognize and celebrate the rich tapestry of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that make up our workforce. We strive to attract, develop, and retain a diverse team that reflects the global marketplace and the varied communities we engage with.
fp Frank Partners firmly opposes all forms of discrimination. We will never discriminate on the grounds of the protected characteristics of religion or belief, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, gender identity or expression, marriage and civil partnership or pregnancy and maternity.
Equity at fp Frank Partners means ensuring fair treatment, access, and opportunities for all. As an equal opportunity employer, our approach to recruitment, career development, remuneration, resource allocation and related activities is grounded in evaluating an individual’s skillset, potential and performance, ensuring that protected characteristics are not considered when assessing a candidate’s suitability or worth.
Through equitable practices in recruitment, career advancement, and resource allocation, we aim to create a level playing field where everyone can thrive.
Inclusion is about creating an environment where everyone feels they belong and can bring their authentic selves to work. At fp Frank Partners, we are dedicated to the cultivation of a truly inclusive work culture that fosters respect, empathy and a sense of belonging for all. In our commitment to continuous learning and growth in our DE&I journey, we embrace open dialogue, value diverse viewpoints, and pledge our support to employee resource initiatives.
We extend these commitments to our interactions with our wider stakeholders, including clients, suppliers, our external partners and subcontractors. In turn, we expect respect and tolerance from and within our team and in our interactions with others, both within the context of our business activities and as a model for appropriate conduct in wider society.
The unique visible and invisible attributes that make up each member of our stakeholder community are the foundations of our capacity for innovation. Embracing and promoting inclusion enhances our workplace, but also contributes positively to the broader community, ensuring that everyone can thrive and succeed together.
