A 21st Century Culture for 21st Century Colleagues
The Ascensos culture can be described in one word – authenticity. From this flows our culture and values – that ‘every opinion matters, every idea is considered, and every voice is heard’ to the benefit of our business, our clients’ and their customers, and the communities in which we operate.

Quite naturally, the nature of our business as an outsourcer across different countries and regions means we embrace people from all backgrounds and have a diverse and inclusive advisor population across the company.
We are particularly proud of our commitment to mental health initiatives, homelessness and equality which follows our CEO-led #asOne Diversity & Inclusion programme which ensures every member of #theAteam feels represented, valued, included, and empowered to do their best work.
The #asOne Chair is our CEO, John Devlin and it supports seven key pillars:
Pride LGBTQ+
Ethnicity and Race
Ability
Religious Beliefs
Age
Well-being
Gender
To further demonstrate and evidence our commitment to our colleagues, we have participated in and achieved certifications in the following:
• We have passed the 5-stage verification process and are now registered as an Includability Employer
• Attained Disability Committed Employer status from the DWP
• Achieved Gold Member Mental Health Charter – 25 Mental Health First Aiders
• Become part of the HR Data HUB Diversity and Inclusion network
• Signed the Hello Menopause Pledge and have 34 Ascensos Menopause champions
Happy colleagues create happy customers but in today's tech-enabled world, the way in which we establish a culture of support for the well-being and happiness of our staff, especially post-pandemic, regardless of background or personal situation, are more complex, requiring a breadth and depth of comprehensive culture initiatives, including a proactive and demonstrable diversity and inclusion programme, that are led from the top and communicated across the every level of the Ascensos business.
Ascensos and the #asOne programme were awarded Best Diversity & Inclusion Programme at the South West Contact Centre Forum Awards.
