DE&I POLICY

Creating and nurturing a diverse and supportive environment

What is LevelUP’s DE&I policy?

We aim to create and nurture a diverse and supportive environment driven by awareness of self and others, transparency, accountability and continuous improvement. Our people and unique culture are key sources of our competitive advantage. The LevelUP team’s wide variety of cultures, backgrounds, skills, and experiences enables our ability to innovate and discover the best talent and solutions for our clients.

LevelUP Human Capital Solutions received its Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification from the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). NMSDC’s rigorous certification process requires that minority businesses in its Network are at least 51% minority-owned, operated and controlled. Eligibility is established through a series of screenings, interviews, and site visits. We are also a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) with the New York City Department of Small Business Services. We hope that our MBE certification will help you meet diversity goals by increasing supplier diversity.

LevelUP HCS is committed to equal opportunity in all areas of the business, regardless of gender, race, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, or religion. Every LevelUP HCS initiative is owned with the commitment to make diversity and inclusion our way of conducting business. Our strategic process far outreaches solely numeric figures – we place a deep emphasis on relationships and experiences, which stems from our people-driven mission. The LevelUP HCS environment is a space where individuals can perform at their highest level, due to our continuous training programs and inspiring leadership.

Practices - LevelUP HCS believes diversity and inclusion is a vital element of a successful business model. We achieve this through targeted sourcing of individuals from unique backgrounds and cultures; continuous development of all employees within the organisation; a deep focus on relationships and experiences that enable our people to succeed.
Scope - Our Diversity and Inclusion policy applies to all LevelUP HCS employees.
Sponsorship and Responsibilities - The LevelUP HCS Executive Committee is committed to the implementation of this policy, and its revisions. Senior employees are accountable for the pursuit of these policies, as well as all employees who are made aware of and held responsible for the Company's expectations.
Monitoring and Reporting - We consistently audit the combination of our workforce and strive to consistently provide a diverse and inclusive environment that will attract and retain such. The data collected from these audits will be made public accordingly when required by law.

How does LevelUP internally support diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organisation?

At LevelUP, it is our mission to elevate the world of work, in part by creating and nurturing a diverse and supportive environment. As a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and accredited Disability Confident Committed company, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has long been a cornerstone of our culture.

Our team’s wide variety of cultures, backgrounds, skills, and experiences enables our ability to innovate and discover the best talent and solutions for our clients. We employ the same DE&I-forward recruitment strategies used with our clients to attract, recruit and retain our own talent. As a result, we have achieved an impressive level of diversity amongst our employee base and leadership team.

We are committed to providing equal opportunity to all employees. We encourage internal mobility and provide employees with opportunities outside their traditional career path should that be of interest.

We work to ensure LevelUP is creating inclusive ways for our company to interact and learn. From training around unconscious bias to celebrating our various cultures and heritage, we look to engage all employees and celebrate our differences.
