- Attracting and retaining a diverse team is of paramount importance. We have identified diversity gaps within our central and store teams across the TFG family of brands, and are working on improving representation.
- All management roles responsible for hiring new employees are being provided with additional training to ensure our selection processes are fair, consistent and without prejudice.
- We are providing inclusive leadership and awareness workshops to our leaders and employees to address conscious and unconscious bias within the workplace and the community.
- We have implemented necessary changes to our hiring processes to ensure we access a wide and diverse pool of candidates and to prevent potential unconscious bias during the recruitment process.
- We are working with Future Frontiers, an award-winning education and social-mobility charity, to ensure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds fulfil their potential at school and when transitioning to education or training at age 16.
INCLUSION AND
DIVERSITY
We are committed to making the Hobbs' brand, values and culture accessible to everyone. The events of 2020 highlighted the need for change and further improvements – both at an industry and brand level – to ensure that a diverse representation of backgrounds, cultures and lived experiences are woven throughout each facet of our business.
As a result, we have implemented the following initiatives, which we will continually review and develop as part of our ongoing commitment to inclusion. We stand in solidarity against racism and discrimination of any kind and will work together to ensure our actions effect real, tangible change within our business and the wider fashion landscape.
