Leadership at EGC

Equity Growth Capital is a global network of relationships - with our employees, our clients and the communities we operate in globally. We build collaborative relationships with each for life, not for cycles, and we understand the future of our business relies on the investment we make in our relationships.

Our employees are our main value proposition and the future leaders of our business. We believe that good client experiences start with our people and we are confident that our inclusive and friendly culture and the investment we make in our team through CPD, mentoring, well-being, as well as our commitment to diversity and inclusion, supports their success and the success of our clients and wider communities.

Our culture

Our culture is active, investment-oriented and client-centric. It is built on our core values of excellence, passion, integrity and respect – values for which we have held ourselves accountable over many years.

Excellence

We are committed to delivering excellence for our clients, their advisors, our employees, our parent company and within our industry.

Passion

Our determination to understand our clients and the markets in which we operate has shaped our culture and our values. We seek to inspire both our clients and our colleagues with a passion for what we do.

Integrity

We treat clients as our partners and thrive to deliver a superior client experience based on principles of integrity, fairness and decency.

Respect

We respect difference and diversity and we reward individual performance as well as teamwork.

Delivering excellence

We seek to work with our clients over the long term, and their experience of us will be shaped by our culture – which we see as one of our biggest differentiators. We foster a merit-based, values-driven culture by embedding five attributes into the recruitment, goal-setting, appraisal and promotion processes for our employees.

about

Creating a better workplace

We foster a working environment where our people, performance and clients matter equally. We take a strong stance regarding inclusion and we care for the health, well-being and safety of our employees.

Health and well-being

The health and well-being of our people directly impacts our business success. According to our recent firm-wide engagement survey, 78% of our employees think our flexible work arrangements meet their needs and 75% of female employees tell us that having a family and pursuing a career are compatible for women at Equity Growth Capital.

Collaboration & employee development

Colleagues across the globe have developed new ideas to connect as teams and share information and knowledge. One example is the newly built opportunity platform which functions like a marketplace, connecting skills and projects across the company. The platform allows our employees to share details of a short-term project and invite others with relevant skills to connect and contribute.

Tackling work-related stress

Stress is a major health-related challenge facing today’s workforce, especially for people in service-oriented, desk-based jobs. The Equity Growth Capital work well program systematically addresses the root causes of work-related stress, offering effective solutions and making changes to the work environment that enable employees to realize their full potential.

Encouraging personal development


At EGC, we want to create an environment that encourages and supports all our employees to develop the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in their current roles and prepare for potential future roles.



Employee engagement

Employee engagement is a top priority. We understand that an engaged workforce performs better, is more committed and accountable and delivers a strong customer focus.

Training and development

We operate in a competitive employment market for highly skilled professionals. The skill set that leaders and professionals will need to succeed in the future is changing, and we deploy a wide range of learning and development approaches – including our Global Development Programme – to develop our people.

Performance and feedback

By setting goals that align with our strategy, values and our employee and client value propositions, we create a firm-wide understanding of performance excellence. We embed high standards through regular feedback, appraisals and structured goal setting.

Diversity And Inclusion

At EGC, we apply the same mindset, due diligence, and direct action to our Diversity and Inclusion as we do to serving clients and managing their assets.

At Equity Growth Capital, we believe that a diverse workforce thrives in an equitable and inclusive culture.

Our unwavering commitment to Global Diversity and Inclusion is imperative; we are in a knowledge business focused on achieving investment excellence for our clients. We can only achieve that objective by hiring, developing, and retaining differentiated talent to collaborate for stronger business and investment outcomes.

We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce brings in values and attributes necessary to create a supportive and rewarding business model that has sustainability built into its corporate culture.

Our strategy pillars that helps us drive inclusivity and belonging

Talent

We seek to hire, develop, retain, and advance employees from underrepresented groups across all levels at our firm to build strong teams and a diverse workforce.

Culture

We work to sustain an environment based on shared values, equity, and excellence and one that is supported by mentor relationships, global mobility assignments, business networks, and manager/employee engagement.

Community

We tap into the power of community and collective action through external partnerships, including our commitment to educational organizations supported by the EGC Foundation.

Policy

The changes in our policies have been the single largest catalyst for change. We are deeply committed to building a workplace free from bias and discrimination. And our Diversity and Inclusion policy has been the biggest win, which embodies and reflects our dedication to creating an environment where our employees are valued, respected, and empowered. Since then, all the other policies have transformed to accommodate and include the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
