The Importance of Gender Diversity

Men and women bring different skills and perspectives to the table. A gender-diverse team is proven to achieve a higher rate of success when compared to a male-only team. Hi-Speed hire the right person, for the right job – regardless of gender. Equality and fairness is something we promote heavily in our recruitment process, as well as look for in those we choose to work alongside.

A few words from some of our hard working team members...

“I’ve been working for Hi-Speed for nearly 7 years. If anything, it’s more like a family to me. They are really supportive with my passions and helping me with my craft making. They even said that if I gave up smoking, they would donate money to my chosen charity. Over a year later and I’m still going strong.” Jenny

“This is my third year working for Hi-Speed and achieving my goals. The entire workforce is very much equal and although much of the work includes traditionally male jobs, we all do our fair share of the duties – no matter how tough. In fact, it’s usually the men making the tea!” Cresta

“The fact I have nothing to add to the football conversations means nothing at Hi-Speed! I enjoy being part of a diverse team of people from all backgrounds. Having a young child, I feel that offering family friendly/flexible hours is extremely important to encourage and support women in the workplace. Luckily, I already have this.” Kim
