Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI)
We are fully committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). It is so important to us that everyone has the right to fair and equal treatment, and that we recognise people using our services and those working for us, come from diverse backgrounds.
What FREDIE means to us
Take a look at this video to find out what FREDIE means to our colleagues, customers and members of our communities.
EDI Bubble
Each year we publish our EDI Bubble to celebrate key achievements, look back at what our fantastic EDI steering group has been up to, changes and improvements we’ve made and future plans we have. Within this edition we also look at recruitment and workforce, events and campaigns and opportunities for you to get involved.
Everything we do as an organisation recognises the FREDIE principles (fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion and engagement), and we are proud to be represented by tenants, colleagues and stakeholders that believe in and demonstrate this too.
Although there is so much amazing and inspiring work going on to celebrate, educate and understand, we know there is always more that can be done. Read our EDI Policy.
Diversity Protected Characteristics Profiling report
Every year we collect and report on our tenants, colleagues and Board members’ profiling information. This is to help us to understand whether our workforce and our Board are representative of the communities we serve and to identify the gaps where we need to improve representation.
Pay Gap Reports
Each year, we publish information about our pay gaps. This is the average difference in pay received by our colleagues. Ensuring all our employees are rewarded fairly and equally for the work they do is important to us, irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity, or whether they have a disability. Everyone doing the same job in Ongo receives the same pay and benefits.
Our 2023 reports can be found below.
