Our Commitments
When searching for the right candidate, we challenge ourselves to engage with individuals of various ages, disabilities, genders, races, religions, and sexual orientations. We proactively reach out to a diverse range of candidates, ensuring they have visibility of the role and the opportunity to apply.
As a business founded and rooted in Wales, we proudly work with public and private sector partners to develop their workforce. We engage with Welsh, UK, and international markets to connect you with the right candidates, supporting the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 priorities.
We see the Welsh language as integral to our work and culture, aligning with the Welsh Government’s target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050. All our promotional materials are produced bilingually, and we can signpost your Welsh Language Standards to prospective candidates, explaining them to those from the rest of the UK and internationally.
Penodi and Goodson Thomas alike recognise their role in joining Wales' public sector to reach net zero by 2030 and is familiar with the UK Government’s proposals for decarbonising all sectors of the UK economy by 2050.
Post COVID-19, we work smarter with remote work, reducing our travel and carbon footprint.
We prioritise effective communication and in-person meetings when necessary, opting for public transport or shared lifts. We minimise printed materials, always using recycled options when needed, and regularly review our business practices to address the climate emergency.
Our team is committed to carbon literacy training, ensuring all colleagues are informed and our progress is reviewed regularly.
