Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO Ltd

Create a workforce that is representative of the audiences AMVBBDO and its clients seek to serve. Improve our work by broadening our perspectives, enhancing opportunity, creativity and innovation. Support our values. Attract and retain the world's best talent. Our vision is to build a diverse workforce and an inclusive work environment that promotes and supports our effort to do the best work of mainstream influence. To us, diversity means a variety or difference among people relating to factors such as age, employee level, gender, marital status, national origin, physical/mental ability, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and thinking style. Our policy is built on the principle that each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunity and prohibits discriminatory employment practices. Each of us has a responsibility to respect the varied backgrounds, skills and cultures of others and to practice fairness in every decision and interaction. Together we want to create an inclusive environment that encourages diversity of thought, culture, skills, experience and perspectives. That diversity enables us to solve problems creatively and deliver extraordinary solutions for our clients. Our commitment to inclusiveness extends to our stakeholders, suppliers and third parties. We support diversity programmes from the top down in our agency and encourage participation from the bottom up. We also actively contribute to industry and national diversity initiatives. Our diversity programmes include 'best behaviours' workshops, wellbeing and resilience training, apprenticeships, cross client best practice sharing and active engagement with disability partners including Scope and Disability Rights UK. We partner with a number of organisations to help us attract talent from diverse backgrounds including Creative Equals, Debut, SEO London, Ravensbourne College and Creative Access as well as The Challenge Consultancy who run specific unconscious bias workshops for everyone involved in recruitment and broader diversity and inclusion sessions for the rest of the agency.
