The UK Social Mobility Awards were established to recognise and celebrate forward-thinking organisations that are actively creating positive change for their employees and the communities they operate in – by embedding social mobility initiatives into their core business strategy.
Compass Group has been named as finalists for the Social Partner Hub initiative. Launched in 2023, the Social Partner Hub was developed to support those who have traditionally faced barriers to entering the job market, such as those who are long term unemployed or people with disabilities.
Graslin Fuela Pathmathasan, who secured employment through the scheme, said: “I am very happy with the support I got from Compass’ Social Partner Hub and the Restart Scheme - I was able to get a job as a kitchen assistant. Compass has given me the opportunity to work again after having five years employment gap. Thank you for changing my life for the better.”
