Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Zipabout
- Diversity: to help with our diversity efforts, we believe in fighting unconscious bias. We believe that actions speak louder than words and so we have decided to anonymise all CVs we receive. No name, no picture, no nationality or sex, no university or hobbies, no age or references. When your CV is being assessed by our team we only ever consider one thing: your skills. Once you've been shortlisted, we'll share everything we can about you with our interview panel, and we'll want to speak to you ASAP to know everything that's not on your CV, the rest of you
- We provide free professional mental health support via the NHA backed Mindful Employer scheme that provides easy access to a 24/7 independent and confidential advice line service. Whether it is to do with work, relationships, health, debt or even legal issues.
