Diversity

For us diversity is a reflection of our business. Managing diversity and maintaining a diverse workforce is a complex challenge but one that is crucial to understanding and fulfilling our customers needs. Only by having a diverse 7,500-workforce that mirrors our global customer base can we realistically achieve this.

Our success depends on maintaining and developing a workforce that reflects multicultural perspectives at all levels and is rich in its variety of thinking. We achieve this by creating an environment where talent is attracted and retained, unique and innovative ideas are encouraged and supported, and the atmosphere is in place to support real achievement.

In an ongoing commitment to being an employer of choice, Elsevier is committed to attracting, employing and developing talented people utilising the most effective and efficient processes in a fair and objective manner. The company operates an open recruitment policy encouraging applications from both internal and external candidates regardless of gender, marital status, nationality, colour, ethnic origin, age, creed, sexual orientation or disability. Selection decisions are achieved through clear, consistent and systematic procedures carried out by trained personnel, enabling managers to recruit staff in accordance with employment law and good practice.

Our commitment to diversity is just one reflection of our vision of ourselves as a dynamic global company that actively contributes to the improvement of society as a whole. We also actively demonstrate our commitment to corporate responsibility and our investment in learning and development. These things are not just part of Elsevier's  mission statement and values - they are fundamental to our way of doing business.
