The president of Foxtons has actually confessed that the firm has “more to do” on work environment society, after a record declaring that junior workers at the property representative had actually dealt with unwanted touching and other forms of harassment.

“Although significant progress has been made over the last two years, including the introduction of mandatory annual respect and inclusion training, strengthened equality, diversity and inclusion policies, and enhanced whistleblowing and speak up processes, there remains more to do,” Gittins stated.
Gittins stated that over the previous 2 years the firm had actually boosted the variety of women supervisors by a quarter, boosted “employee engagement”, and pointed out a current inner team study that revealed that 81% of workers would certainly advise Foxtons as a “great place to work”.
He stated: “These initiatives are particularly important to me, and while progress has been made, we recognise there is more we can and should do. We will continue to seek further improvement and progress. We are focused on creating an environment which attracts, motivates and retains a diverse team of talent, that can together deliver excellent customer outcomes.”
