Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion statement

Better representation in our classrooms starts with representation in our office. Our work has to be internal first, so it can impact what we do externally as an education recruitment agency. Our team is made up of diverse individuals who are representative of the local communities and schools that we serve which ensures that we are able to offer a service that meets their needs and expectations. We believe we can only continue to develop as a business if our team come from different backgrounds and if we create an environment of inclusion and belonging for them.

How we're making an impact

Here are some of the ways we’re building a culture of inclusion and belonging at Smile Education, in our communities and schools we work with:

• We are committed to gender equity and the principle of equal pay for equal work.
• We are dedicated to recruiting and developing female leaders, and we have increased the representation of women in our workforce and in leadership positions.
• We offer our employees benefits to support their entire experience both personally and professionally.
• We work to provide a safe and healthy workplace that enables employees to achieve their full potential.
• We have pledged to expand our knowledge of other cultures and backgrounds through through regular team-wide initiatives.
• We have devoted time and efforts to ensure that our partner schools and communities we work in have access to resources to enable them to reach their greatest potential.
