"Doing the right thing should be aligned with business strategy - it's this focus that gives Social Recruitment Advocacy Group member organisations a competitive edge." Laura Savage, Director of Partner and Social Value Solutions, PeoplePlus.
Join the Social Recruitment Advocacy Group (SRAG) to unite with member organisations like G4S, Lidl, Ikea, Unipart, Mitie, M Group Services, Securigroup, DHL and many more to transform hiring practices for the benefit of all. Founded by PeoplePlus, the UK's largest prison education provider and social recruitment pioneer, the SRAG promotes inclusive, socially responsible recruitment practices that enhance social value impact.
To progress through the Charter Mark levels, members receive support from PeoplePlus Social Value Solutions experts, plus insight from a range of brilliant specialist intervention partners, including social value changemakers, ANTZ, and the voices of people with lived experience.
Considering economic inactivity levels and a new government committed to 80% employment, SRAG members are well-positioned to influence decision makers and shape impactful strategy.
Whether you employ a few people or thousands, the SRAG welcomes you.
