Our pillars
Social mobility
Social mobility at Knight Frank
Socioeconomic diversity acknowledges the variety of economic backgrounds and experiences within our organisation.
Promoting socioeconomic diversity ensures we value employees from various economic backgrounds. Recognising socioeconomic differences helps mitigate biases and creates opportunities for individuals, regardless of their personal and social circumstances.
We aim to focus on regular evaluations and reporting on progress to ensure accountability and continuous improvement in our long-term commitment to social mobility and diversity.
At Knight Frank, our people are the beating heart of our business, and empowering them to thrive is fundamental to our success. That's why I'm thrilled to introduce RISE, our employee resource group dedicated to fostering social mobility and inclusivity. RISE is committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and supported regardless of socio-economic background. Our goal is to attract diverse talent, provide them with the resources they need to grow, and help them become proud advocates for our company. I am honoured to be a part of this passionate team. Together, we will build a more inclusive and dynamic future for all at Knight Frank.
