This statement is published in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps that ThinkWorkforce takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains during the year ended October 2020. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains and are committed to combating the prevention of slavery and human trafficking.
ThinkWorkforce is committed to ethical and labor standards and is dedicated to eradicating Modern Slavery. As such, we fully support the government’s objectives to eliminate these practices and recognize the significant role that businesses, including our own, have to play in achieving this goal.
As part of our commitment, we ensure that our supply chains and business activities are free from any forms of ethical and labor standards abuses. We comply with relevant legislation, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015. We have several internal policies in place to support our commitment to eradicating Modern Slavery, including the Freedom to Speak up Whistleblowing Policy, Managing Safeguarding Allegations Policy, Safeguarding Policy, and Procurement Policy.
This statement is published in accordance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It sets out the steps that ThinkWorkforce takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business and supply chains during the year ended October 2020. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chains and are committed to combating the prevention of slavery and human trafficking.
In order to fulfill its activities, ThinkWorkforce’s main supply chain includes the likes of job boards, media companies, management companies, office management services, umbrella and management companies and we expect that all our suppliers and potential suppliers aim for the same high ethical standards set by ThinkWorkforce. We understand that ThinkWorkforce’s first-tier suppliers are intermediary suppliers and therefore have further contractual relationships with lower-tier suppliers, our expectation is that our first-tier suppliers promote the same high standards through their own supply chain.
As part of our engagement with any suppliers, ThinkWorkforce requires all suppliers to provide a copy of their Modern Slavery Policy and to confirm adherence to this.
ThinkWorkforce acknowledges its responsibilities in relation to tackling modern slavery and commits to complying with the provisions in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. ThinkWorkforce is aware of the requirement to continually review both its internal practices in relation to its labor force and, additionally, its supply chains. ThinkWorkforce does not enter into business with any other organization, in the United Kingdom or abroad, which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labor.
We carry out strict compliance checks in regard to the placement of all our candidates that we supply through the verification of their right to work documents and the mechanism through which they provide their services. We also ensure that any new Management Company or Solution provider is audited and is required to provide a copy of their Modern Slavery Statement and Policy for our records.
The same auditing approach is applied to any suppliers that we engage with who provide services to ThinkWorkforce and they are required to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct.
All our employees are required to comply with all laws and act in a way that represents ThinkWorkforce’s ethical values, and we regularly review our company policies to ensure that they are aligned. To ensure consistency across our global business and to ensure a high level of understanding of the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking, we deliver training to our employees on modern slavery and human trafficking where relevant. Our policies are available to all our employees on our intranet and are provided as part of the contract of employment. Each employee is required to acknowledge receipt and adhere to them. We have a Global Employee Code of Conduct document which clearly outlines dedicated channels through which any employee may voice concerns to their local HR representative or through our whistleblowing policy
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and constitutes our slavery and human trafficking policy for the current financial year
