GRAHAM<\/a> places 41st in the \u2018UK\u2019s Top 100 Most Inclusive Workplaces Index 2022\u2019 for the first time<\/h2>\n

This year was the first time GRAHAM entered the FREDIE (Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement) Awards<\/a> and placed 41st in the Top 100 Most Inclusive Workplaces Index 2022.<\/p>\n

Hollie Cregan, the Group\u2019s new head of equality diversity<\/a> and FIR, has been driving the company\u2019s approach to Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) since her appointment last year. She is the company\u2019s first-ever head of equality, diversity and FIR.<\/p>\n

Cregan is also a member of the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), with a Level 4 qualification in managing equality and diversity.<\/p>\n

This year she moved into a wider group role \u2013 where she has been working throughout the company\u2019s sites and offices across the UK and Ireland to ensure the business fairly represents the culture, gender, disability and LGBT<\/a> diversity within their respective locations.<\/p>\n

GRAHAM has ambitious goals to be a leader in operating ethically<\/h3>\n

Discussing her role at GRAHAM, Hollie said: “GRAHAM has ambitious goals to be a leader in operating ethically. It\u2019s what we want, what our employees and incoming talent want, it\u2019s what our clients demand and what the government is asking for.<\/p>\n

“What we do to promote diversity in the organisation is not just a box ticking exercise, it is a built-in element of our operations that will help mould a much more diverse business and sector. Being ranked in the NCFD\u2019s Top 100 Most Inclusive Workplaces Index 2022 tells us we are going in the right direction but we will continually strive to be so much more.”<\/p>\n

GRAHAM\u2019s HR director, Michael Smyth, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“GRAHAM ranking as one of the UK\u2019s top 100 most inclusive employers cements our reputation as a leader for fairness, inclusion and respect. Throughout the business, we have strived to develop a culture where every employee feels valued as an individual and comfortable to perform at their best.<\/p>\n

“We are currently working in partnership with the National Centre for Diversity towards the achievement of the Investors in Diversity (IiD) Award. Our ambition is to continue to be recognised as a leader in FIR, and we remain committed to cultivating a diverse workforce and a positive team culture.”<\/p>\n

Solat Chaudhry, chief executive at the National Centre for Diversity said:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I send my warmest congratulations to John Graham Construction Limited on successfully reaching number 41 in the Top 100 Most Inclusive Workplaces Index 2022.\u202fIt\u2019s been a challenging year and yet, it has not dented the excellent work that organisations such as GRAHAM and individuals do in promoting FREDIE best practice.<\/p>\n

“I am particularly proud that as we celebrate excellent work across all sectors that GRAHAM are one of the organisations that are the future of the workplace in the UK. “We celebrate the exceptional work of people and organisations who have EDI\/FIR running through their DNA. Let\u2019s rejoice at this and build a better society.”<\/p>\n
