Embracing & fostering diversity & inclusion

At GJK Facility Services, we have committed to building a culture that embraces and fosters diversity and inclusion across all levels of the business. We hope to achieve this through eliminating stigmas and limitations and creating a culture of inclusion through the promotion of education, awareness and mutual understanding.

Harnessing our employees’ different backgrounds, experience and perspectives creates a more productive and inclusive workplaces, and drives innovation, creativity and problem-solving to better serve our customers and communities.

I am proud that our company has a workforce made up of more than 45 nationalities. We recognise and respect qualities that are unique to each member of our team, including their gender, cultural background, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.

And of course it goes without saying that we will not tolerate unlawful discrimination, harassment, workplace bullying or victimisation in the workplace. Each and every one of us takes responsibility for fostering diversity and inclusion and treating each other with mutual respect.

Specifically, I am proud that my team is working together to focus on the following goals:
