Slaughter and May’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
At Slaughter and May, we believe that an inclusive workplace drives collaboration and provides an environment where everyone can feel valued, included, able to thrive and to be themselves. Our firm values set out our commitment, to our clients, colleagues and the society in which we operate, that we will demonstrate:
• the highest standards;
• independence of thought;
• collective endeavour; and
• respect for all.
As signatories to the Valuable 500, our commitments are to:
• Raise awareness and increase understanding of visible and hidden disabilities, neurodiversity, long-term health conditions, and carers;
• Ensure our recruitment, on boarding, and induction processes are inclusive and accessible;
• Clearly communicate our policies and outline what support will be available should an employee ask for help to perform at their best;
• Regularly review the adjustments to ensure they are working and are still appropriate.
Empowered is the firm’s disability and health network. The employee network focuses on creating a community and providing a space for colleagues to network and connect. The network also supports the firm to raise awareness around disability and collaborates with our other employee networks to support the delivery of activities and events.
