YASHICOM LTD (“YASHICOM”) is committed to equality of opportunity and to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful environment for our people, our clients, and the communities we serve. We believe that diverse perspectives make us better consultants and that inclusive practices are essential to building AI and technology that works fairly for everyone.
1. Our commitment
We are committed to treating everyone fairly and with respect. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation—or on any other ground that would be unlawful under the Equality Act 2010 or equivalent legislation. We oppose all forms of harassment, bullying, and victimisation and expect the same standards from our partners and suppliers.
2. Recruitment and employment
We recruit and employ on the basis of merit, skills, and potential. We aim to remove barriers that might prevent talented people from joining or progressing at YASHICOM. Our recruitment processes are designed to be fair and consistent, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds. We support flexible and remote working where possible and make reasonable adjustments to support colleagues with disabilities or other needs.
3. Workplace culture
We strive to create a culture where everyone can contribute and thrive. We value different experiences, ideas, and ways of thinking. We encourage open dialogue, respect for one another, and continuous learning. Our values—collaboration, innovation, integrity, and impact—underpin how we work together and how we engage with clients.
4. Responsible AI and fairness
As an AI consulting firm, we take seriously our responsibility to help clients build and use AI in ways that are ethical, transparent, and fair. We advocate for responsible AI practices, including attention to bias, fairness, and accessibility in the systems we design and deliver. We support clients in meeting their legal and ethical obligations and in building trust with their users and stakeholders.
5. Clients and partners
We work with clients and partners who share our commitment to equality and respect. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in our engagements and we expect our supply chain and partners to uphold high standards in this area.
6. Review and progress
We keep our policies and practices under review and we work to improve our performance on equality and diversity. We welcome feedback from our people, clients, and candidates. If you have questions or concerns, or if you would like to report an issue, please contact us at hello@yashicom.co.uk. We will treat all communications with sensitivity and in line with our confidentiality and grievance procedures.
