At Extra Workforce , diversity, equity and inclusion are not optional commitments. They are central to who we are, how we operate, and how we serve our colleagues, clients, and communities.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Extra Workforce

We believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. That belief guides our actions every day.

A Zero Tolerance Approach to Discrimination

We speak up and take action whenever behaviour, language, or attitudes could cause harm or offence. Extra Workforce does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or abusive conduct of any kind. This includes behaviour that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ageist, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory.

This standard applies across all Extra Workforce locations and interactions, including our branches, offices, phone communications, on site operations, and online platforms.

Our goal is to foster a safe, supportive, and professional environment for both our colleagues and our customers.

Inclusion as a Core Value

At Extra Workforce , inclusivity is more than a principle. It is embedded into every aspect of our business, from how we attract, recruit, and develop talent to how we engage with clients and partners.

We actively encourage diversity of thought and lived experience, recognising that inclusive decision making leads to stronger outcomes. By placing inclusivity at the heart of our service delivery, we ensure fair treatment, better collaboration, and higher standards across our operations.

Supporting Colleagues and Clients

Our commitment to equality extends beyond internal practices. We work closely with clients to help foster inclusive workplace cultures and embed diverse perspectives into their security and operational strategies.

Through our Inclusion Committee and Shadow Board, employee voices are actively represented at leadership level. These groups work alongside our Inclusive Culture team to promote accountability, drive progress, and ensure our commitments translate into meaningful action.

Inclusion Across the Entire Journey

From candidate attraction and onboarding through to career progression and leadership development, inclusivity is woven into every stage of the Extra Workforce journey.

Building a truly diverse workforce requires intentional leadership, inclusive policies, and a culture where every individual feels their uniqueness is respected and valued. We encourage open dialogue, listen to a wide range of voices, and create space for people to challenge the status quo in a constructive and supported way.

Leadership Accountability and Business Impact

Our leadership team plays an active role in advancing diversity and inclusion. Inclusion goals are linked to senior leadership performance, reinforcing our belief that equality is both a moral responsibility and a business priority.

Organisations that embrace inclusive cultures consistently outperform those that do not. An inclusive workforce drives stronger engagement, better decision making, and improved service delivery. At Extra Workforce , we see inclusion as a key contributor to long term success and resilience.

Mental Health, Wellbeing, and Belonging

We work alongside Mental Health UK and deliver internal training to tackle stigma, raise awareness, and provide practical tools to support mental wellbeing. Creating an inclusive culture means supporting the whole person, not just the role they perform.

We also actively promote LGBTQ+ awareness throughout the year and strive to create a welcoming, respectful environment for all LGBTQ+ colleagues and customers. We provide a safe and supportive space for individuals navigating changes to their gender identity, ensuring dignity, understanding, and confidentiality at every stage.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Diversity, equity and inclusion are ongoing commitments, not one time initiatives. We continually review our practices, listen to feedback, and evolve our approach to ensure we are meeting the needs of our people and the communities we serve.

At Extra Workforce , we are proud to stand for fairness, respect, and opportunity for all. Together, we are building a culture where everyone can thrive.
