Equalities

We are committed to equality, both in employment and in the services we deliver.  One of the key aims of our Equalities Policy is to achieve a balanced and diverse workforce. We welcome applications from all groups and communities. 

3.6% of the workforce in Derby Homes are disabled employees and we have been awarded the 'two ticks positive about disabled people' award by Employment Services. 
 
Within Derby Homes 16.1% of the workforce are minority ethnic employees. Of the top 5% of earners within the organisation, 10% are minority ethnic employees.  Derby Homes has a BME Officers support group which meets regularly during the year to discuss issues, concerns and to promote positive action and promotion within the organisation.
 
63% of the workforce are women.  At the executive level within the organisation there is 50% representation of women.  Of the top 5% of earners within the organisation, 30% are women.
 
Derby Homes have recently contracted the services of a company called Equality Works to help to develop and improve our Equalities agenda.  We will establish Equalities Champions throughout the organisation to take a lead on all equalities issues.
