At Compass, we are proud to provide opportunities to all. In the UK, it's estimated that around 1 in 7 people (or about 15%) are neurodivergent* and it may be more common for these people to experience barriers to employment than those who are considered neurotypical. Teams across our business have been looking at different ways we can do more to support neurodivergent people not only in their current jobs, but also to enter into the job market too. A great example of this is our B&I business, which has updated its recruitment process and candidate journey, to improve accessibility. How? ✅ Transparency – sharing clear interview templates and publishing questions in advance so candidates can prepare with confidence. ✅ Accessible guidance that is easy to find – created well-structured careers page with sector-specific advice helping our candidates understand the process and expectations. ✅ Offer reasonable adjustments – training our hiring managers to recognise and implement adjustments tailored to individual needs. ✅ Use accessibility tools – dyslexia-friendly job adverts and accessibility settings (like ADHD-friendly and vision-impaired profiles) can make a big difference. ✅ Always support different ways of thinking – structure helps autistic candidates, advance questions benefit dyslexic applicants, and clarity reduces masking for ADHD individuals.

Thanks go to Chrissy Reilly for her drive and commitment to getting this over the line, a true passion project and a big step in the right direction to remove barriers to the workplace! 👏
I worked with you for 11 years and was very loyal, despite the modest salary I received compared to the extensive services and significant sacrifices I made. In the end, you left our country, Algeria, leaving behind substantial debts owed to workers, contractors, suppliers, and others. I only have a court ruling in my favor against you, obliging you to pay my salary since 2013.
