As a people-based business, our success is underpinned by attracting, developing and retaining top talent.
We aim to create an environment where our people can thrive by treating our people with respect, creating opportunities for learning and development, and showing consideration for health and wellbeing.
CVC's commitment
CVC's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, comprising senior leaders and colleagues from across our global network, was founded in 2016. The Committee is a catalyst for change at CVC, improving the way that CVC attracts, develops and retains its diverse and talented workforce.
CVC has also strengthened its inclusive culture through employee-initiated networks, inclusive leadership training and events.
Our commitment to diversity, equality of opportunity and inclusion extends to our portfolio companies and the industry. CVC has a global network of over 30 offices, and we want our teams to reflect the societies in which they are based.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are critically important to CVC. The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee holds us accountable across the Group and seeks to foster a culture of inclusion that provides opportunities for people from all backgrounds.
Cathrin Petty Managing Partner, Chair of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee
We focus on three key areas:
1. Attracting
CVC works with various recruitment partners and organisations including Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, 10,000 Black Interns and OutInvestors to find the very best candidates from wide-ranging backgrounds and industries. We believe in hiring the best talent regardless of backgrounds. CVC recognises that a workplace that embraces a range of perspectives leads to innovation and superior investment performance.
2. Developing
We invest time and provide tailored training to develop all our employees, supporting their careers and improving their performance in their chosen fields. Whether it's cultivating technical abilities, training for industry qualifications or coaching and mentoring, we offer our employees everything they need to succeed in all aspects of their lives. Our Women’s and Pride Networks supports initiatives such as networking events, mentoring programmes, dedicated recruitment events and external partnerships.
3. Retaining
We pride ourselves on offering employees a wide range of attractive employment benefits to complement an exciting career. We provide industry competitive retention tools around family care, family planning and parental leave, including six months paid leave for primary care givers; full year bonus eligibility for employees on parental leave; parental coaching pre- and post-leave, as well as access to emergency care support for children, adults, and elders.
