Emerald Group is celebrating 25 years as a leading recruiter for the Actuarial and Financial Services Sector. One of the things we’re most proud of is the values that we bring to our work, each and every day.
As an innovative and market-leading recruitment consultancy, it’s always been important to us that we provide an environment where people can succeed and live their best lives, professionally and personally. As a people-focused business, this includes not only our employees, but the clients and candidates that we work with.
As successful recruiters, we change people’s lives as they find new roles, relocate to new markets and move forward with their careers. We never lose sight of this, or the impact of our work on the personal, family and professional lives of our candidates. We recognise the importance of finding the right people for the right roles, putting principles before profit. To ensure we are a force for good, we are guided daily by the principles of inclusivity, professionalism, integrity, relationships and community. As we celebrate our 25th year in business, here’s what this looks like in practice.
We celebrate diversity.
We want our staff to live their best lives and we are committed to supporting the backgrounds, skills and views of our team members. We know that diversity, equity and inclusion drives personal and professional growth.
We are committed to treating people the way we want to be treated ourselves. Our team respects each other’s priorities and working practices. Our staff feel empowered to shape their future success, secure in the knowledge that they have a supportive team right beside them. Our very low staff turnover rate reflects a happy and engaged team within a collaborative working environment.
Professional delivery, every time.
Our clients and candidates trust us to deliver. They return time and time again to use our services, knowing that we bring integrity to all our actions: the perfect blend of professionalism with a human touch. We never compromise, and our contacts and colleagues can rely on our clear communication and our honest and transparent delivery.
Quality over quantity is a core principle at Emerald Group and is an essential value for our working lives.
Integrity underpins everything we do.
We deliver our work with integrity, treating our clients and candidates with complete fairness and respect.
We step up to take accountability for our work. We hold individual and team responsibility for meeting our commitments, with support and guidance when we need it. We willingly share knowledge and our ongoing training ensures we are highly skilled at what we do. We challenge ourselves to find new approaches that improve our working practices and the recruitment support we give to our clients and candidates.
We build long-lasting relationships.
Our collaborative and supportive community is grounded in a genuine interest in people, and this helps us to build relationships with our clients, our candidates and each other.
Our success as recruiters is built on our ability to ask great questions, to listen carefully and to find the best solutions to help our clients, candidates and team members achieve their goals. Tuning in to others’ needs underpins everything we do. We foster conversations that help us understand the priorities and values of those we engage with. Our curiosity drives the connections we make and ensures we learn from everyone around us.
We support our workplace, professional and local communities.
We want everyone to thrive and feel positive about their work and how they balance this with personal interests, commitments and priorities. We want work to be a positive force in people’s lives and we encourage a healthy work-life balance, providing industry leading benefits that go beyond financial reward and support flexibility.
We are active in our local communities and regularly bring our employees together, so that all staff, whether they are office-based or remote workers, feel part of the same team.
You’ll see our values in action from our first interaction. To find out how Emerald Group can help you find your dream role or source the best candidates in the actuarial and financial services sectors, please call us on +44 (0)207 283 2520.
