Why Chwarae Teg?

Chwarae Teg is committed to being an employer of choice. We are proud to be recognised by Investors in People and Working Families as a progressive employer. Chwarae Teg is also committed to the "Positive about Disabled People Pledge".

Chwarae Teg signed up to the “Positive about Disabled People” pledge in 2000 and continues to welcome applications from people with disabilities as well as ensuring that as far as possible disabled people are given fair and equal treatment during employment.

In signing up to the pledge Chwarae Teg makes five commitments in relation to recruitment, retention, training, consultation and disability awareness. 

These five commitments are: 

1. to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities.

2. to discuss with disabled employees, at any time but at least once a year, what both parties can do to make sure disabled employees can develop and use their abilities.

3. to make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment.

4. to take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work.

5. to review these commitments each year and assess what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans.

Chwarae Teg is delighted to have won the Working Families award for Best SME 2010. Furthermore Chwarae Teg is now ranked as one of the top ten employers in the UK, alongside PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Centrica Plc and the Deutsche Bank.

The Working Families award recognises Chwarae Teg as a Top Employer who promotes family-friendly working and who provides some of the best cultural, emotional and practical support for working mothers, fathers and carers. 

Chwarae Teg is thrilled to have been awarded the Investors in People standard. This means that Chwarae Teg is now recognised as an organisation that seeks business improvement through the positive management and development of our people.

Our assessor commented that we “…put a lot of effort into practicing what we preach and that without doubt the majority of our people achieve high levels of job satisfaction.”
