Clarion’s commitment to people-first values, inclusion and performance has created a workplace where 86% of colleagues are proud to work, 88% feel empowered, and engagement is eight times higher than the UK average. 

 

Over the past year, Clarion has transformed its people strategy through an equality, diversity and inclusion lens to build a meritocracy where everyone can thrive. From targeted leadership programmes and accessible learning (90% feel equipped to succeed) to proactive apprenticeship investment and mentoring, Clarion is building a diverse talent pipeline. This has helped achieve a 4.94% gender pay gap and an ethnicity pay gap of 2.08%, both well below national averages for the sector. 

 

Each year Clarion invests an average of £523 per employee in professional development, well above the national average of £150-£400. This approach is reflected in the enthusiasm of Clarion’s workforce; 85% recommend Clarion as a great place to work, 82% say working at Clarion inspires them to be the best they can be, and voluntary turnover is just 7.8% – three times lower than the sector average.
