Life at Kennedys

Working at Kennedys is exciting, fast paced and varied.  We recognise that it is important for you to have a work life balance that allows you the flexibility to live your life. This is possible with our hybrid working policy which will allow you, unless your role requires you to be office based, to enjoy a split of home and office working. When we are working in the office, to ensure we are always approachable, one of our core values, many of our offices are open plan with break out social areas and rooms available for meetings. We also have a “dress for your day” dress code encouraging you to dress casually whenever possible.

Diversity

To help us develop our distinct culture and as part of our commitment to promoting equality and diversity, we created global and regional diversity and inclusion employee groups. The groups meet regularly to share ideas, discuss new initiatives and advise on what more we could be doing. But you can also get involved in D&I at Kennedys by volunteering as a mentor,  taking part in D&I events as a speaker, host or organiser, or representing Kennedys at outreach events. All employees across the firm are encouraged to get involved where they can. You’ll be invited to our regular ‘Let’s start the conversation’ webinars with guest speakers covering topics such as mental health, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ inclusion and Asperger syndrome. Diversity and inclusion is a priority at Kennedys. This is why we introduced D&I chargeable hour credit. This means that time you spend on D&I activities will be recognised and can count towards your chargeable hours target. 

Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability

In 2020, we joined the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative which assists businesses in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).   Inspired by our five priority SDGs, we have established a global network of CSR Champions who are actively encouraged and supported to participate in challenges and campaigns that can make a difference in the communities where we work. Our champions have access to CSR volunteer hours throughout the year, allowing them to participate in a wide range of initiatives, fundraisers and challenges such as the Action for SDGs campaign, as well as pro bono partnerships and team building experiences to support a variety of causes, and champion a better future for our people, our clients and our planet.
