Diversity & Inclusion

"Diversity, social mobility and inclusion are an essential part of who we are. At the heart of our business remains our desire to launch the careers of people from many different backgrounds, helping them to develop their skills before starting work with our clients." Rod Flavell, FDM Group CEO

Diversity, equity and inclusivity is at the core of everything we do. We have 4,000+ employees worldwide, with over 90 nationalities working together as a team. From our origins in Brighton, UK, we now have 18 centres located across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific and are on the FTSE4Good Index.

At FDM we have 90+ nationalities (based on the FDM UK consultant intake 2023 of those who chose to disclose this information) and:

• 81% attended a UK gov school 
• 38% were the first in their family to attend university
• 6% identify with having a disability
• 6% identify as LGBTQIA+
• 32% of FDM's global workforce is female
• -4.3% median gender pay gap

We have designed our recruitment process to be inclusive and eliminate bias:

• Everyone who interviews applicants for our careers programme has undergone unconscious bias training.
• We use strengths-based questions from the first telephone interview through to assessment day, which ensures we are assessing applicants based on their motivations and goals.
