Recognition & Pledges
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ is the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace. This commitment is driven by a realization that addressing diversity and inclusion is not a competitive issue, but a societal issue that CEOs can play a critical role in addressing. As a unique collaborative of nearly 2,000 CEOs of the world’s leading companies and organizations, we have agreed to take action to cultivate workplace environments where diverse experiences and perspectives are welcomed and where employees feel comfortable and empowered to discuss diversity and inclusion. All the signatories of this commitment are leaders of their companies who agree to implement the pledge within their respective workplaces and to support other companies in doing the same.
2023 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index (GEI)
Janus Henderson was included in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which distinguishes companies committed to transparency in gender reporting and advancing women's equality. Those included in the GEI were selected based on how they promote gender equality across four separate areas – company statistics, policies, community engagement and products and services.
2023-2024 Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index
Janus Henderson’s advancement of LGBT+ workplace equality has garnered recognition from the Human Rights Campaign 2023-2024 Corporate Equality Index (CEI). We are proud to be recognised as a Leader in LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion.
Women in Finance Charter
Janus Henderson is committed to improving diversity for the benefit of the company, our clients, and our people. We will continue with the work underway on our entry-level talent programmes and investing in our women in senior leadership curriculum, designed to help prepare women for senior management roles. We will carry on discovering diverse and innovative recruitment feeds and identifying ways of addressing unconscious bias through a range of training initiatives. We will support and promote our flexible hybrid working environment, and inclusive policies and leverage our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Regional Councils across the organisation to ensure that good regional practices are shared and implemented effectively.
Our UK female representation is 36% of the total employee population, which is 1% lower than in 2022. When we signed the Charter in June 2017 our female senior managers percentage was 16%. Although we have been making annual gains in this number, in the last year, we have seen a decline in female senior managers as a percentage of total senior management by -1% to 19%. Although we saw a slight decline in 2023, we believe we are on track to reach our goal of 25% by 2028.
Disability Confident Commitment
As a Disability Confident Committed Employer, we have committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible. We are dedicated to communicating and promoting vacancies, offering an interview to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job, and anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments as required. In addition, we committed to supporting any existing employee who acquires a disability or long-term health condition.
Living Wage Employer
Janus Henderson is proud to be recognised as a Living Wage Employer and participate in Living Wage Week. We support the idea that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. Making sure that all Janus Henderson employees are on the living wage is not only the right thing to do for our employees but also for our business. Making sure that each of our employees are on a living wage is a long-term investment in our people which aligns with our culture and provides our employees and clients with an exceptional experience.
