We asked out industry-leading partners what role can organisations and businesses play in transforming social mobility - and their answers are remarkable. • #SocialMobilityDay is 2 days away, and it’s about time we start talking about this important issue. • Luckily, we didn’t need to write a caption for this post. Our partners perfectly explain the role businesses can play in the social mobility space 💡 • 💪“With great power comes great responsibility” quotes Hannah from Intermediate Capital Group (ICG), and she is absolutely right. • 📣“It’s not right that someone’s background and where they grew up can determine where they can end up in life.” - Hollie Crompton, Social Mobility Lead at PwC. • 🙌“When businesses fully commit to diverse recruitment practices, when they champion #FairPay, and when they invest time, money and effort into the #education, #recruitment and #retention of underserved communities, they can be huge enablers of social mobility.” - Gemma Collins, Programme Manager at The Hg Foundation. • 🏦“In financial services, over 80% of senior roles are held by those from higher socio-economic backgrounds; that’s not acceptable and needs to be corrected.” - Jon Terry, Board Member at the Diversity Project - Investment Industry. • 💡“We can be a vehicle, and a safe space for more comfortable conversations that normalise discussions around #SocialMobility in the workplace, including topics such as #Accent differences.” - Matthew York, Acting DEI Manager at A O Shearman. • “Organisations can play their part [in social mobility] by sparking ambition, opening doors and giving everyone the best shot regardless of where you may have come from.” - Andy Dent, DEI I Director at Bain Company. • We’re proud to be working with industry leaders to transform social mobility. • What do you think about the role businesses can play in social mobility?
