Corps Security has announced that for the second time in a row, the company has been awarded The Security Institute’s prestigious award for the ‘Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) Initiative of the Year’.
The company was presented the award at the Institute’s annual general meeting and conference.
The event named ‘The Changing Face of Security’ was held in London last week.
The Institute’s annual meeting discussed the constantly changing dynamic in the security landscape, including how the profession is now more diverse and inclusive than ever before.
The awards
The meeting featured eight awards focusing on outstanding work and contributions within the industry.
Corps was awarded for its ‘Corps Together ED&I initiative’, which aimed to break down barriers in the workplace through community support structures, including the Corps Veterans Association and its guardian support network.
The Corps guardian support network encompasses race, disability, religion, age, gender, sexuality, marriage, civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity.
Other recognitions
Corps was also commended for changing the mental health dialogue for officers with its mental health events, leading to the launch of the Wellness Baton.
The Wellness Baton is an event series collaborating with other security and FM providers to come together, learn and share best practice for mental health and wellbeing support.
“Constantly challenging each other to be better”
Seetan Varsani, Divisional Director (London and Head of Corps Together), Corps Security stated: “We are delighted to win this award, especially for the second year in a row.
“Corps’ dedication to ED&I and our guardian structure means that we are constantly challenging each other to be better, both professionally and personally.”
He added: “We are privileged to have such a diverse workforce and we are committed to opening our minds and ensuring support, respect and appreciation for every single colleague.”
