At Perry Ellis Europe we are committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as a workplace principle and as a means to help measure both performance of existing colleagues and the suitability of prospective employees.
Diversity is understanding that each person is unique. It means embracing people's differences, including their beliefs, abilities, preferences, backgrounds, values, and identities.
Equity means offering rights and opportunities fairly, catering to people's differences so they are given fair access to opportunities. It means providing various levels of support depending on specific needs or abilities.
Inclusion is an extension of equality and diversity. It means that all people, without exception, have the right to be included, respected, and appreciated as valuable members of the community.
We understand that DE and I is an evolving field and therefore a willingness to learn is the key behaviour we would like to see from Perry Ellis Europe colleagues.
Perry Ellis welcomes applicants from people of all identities and backgrounds.
