Diversity

Open to all, closed to discrimination. Ordnance Survey is wholeheartedly committed to diversity and equal opportunities in employment. We recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce can bring, and our Equality Scheme sets out how we promote equality across the organisation in relation to gender, race and disability. 

Our aim is to provide a working environment that respects the rights and dignity of everyone – our people, customers, partners, consultants, contractors and the general public. When we recruit, our selection process supports the importance of a diverse workforce; it is open and honest, and we treat all candidates fairly.

Of course, actions speak louder than words, which is why we have:

• double tick accreditation;
• our Equality Scheme, which sets out how we will meet the statutory duty to promote equality in all our functions;
• open forums with disabled colleagues;
• annual staff opinion surveys; and
• a harassment policy, with trained volunteers to support and offer advice.

We also have an Employee Assistance programme in place, giving you access to a confidential helpline that can offer advice on everything from work issues to money matters.

For full details of our Equality Scheme, please feel free to contact Human Resources on 023 8030 5500 or by emailing recruitment@ordnancesurvey.co.uk
