- We have an appropriate channel for effective employee voice
Individual voices are heard through relationship with management. Regular 1-1s are encouraged, along with annual goal setting/performance evaluations, and regular Town Halls. Individuals have access to a shared intranet and platforms for raising any concerns e.g. business ethics hotline. There are also Inclusion related Employee Resource Groups within the Company for employees to participate in (e.g. AVID- Allies of Visible and Invisible Differences, PROUD – LGBTQ+ community, ECHO – Every Colour has Opportunity, WE – Women of Endeavor amongst others).
- We invest in workforce development
Development opportunities are regularly provided via a mixture of on demand e learning resources, in person workshops and virtual webinars. All opportunities are published on our shared intranet or in our Learning Management System. We provide two management training programs: The Manager Essentials Program and Leadership Foundations Program. We also offer Endeavor Learning Labs for employee development. We also have a mentoring scheme in place for members of ERGs and opportunities for employees to receive informal mentorship (facilitated by Human Resources). We have established Retention and Advancement Plans (RAPP) with exposure and support from top executives to better retain and advance talent from underrepresented groups.
- We do not use zero-hours contracts inappropriately
All our employees are salaried.

This is set out in Endeavor’s global Respect, Diversity and Inclusion, and Equal Employment Opportunity policy, which prohibits employment discrimination against any employee or applicant on the basis of any protected characteristic. The company seeks to recruit, develop, and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool. Advancement at the company is based on talent and performance. Endeavor has a team dedicated to impact and inclusion, which runs numerous initiatives throughout the year intended to foster diversity.
