E.ON has announced that it has been awarded the 'Inclusive Recruitment' award from the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion (ENEI).

The award is given to companies who promote best practice in equality and inclusion in the workplace, and recognises innovative inclusive programmes or approaches. E.ON won the prestigious award after demonstrating consistent support for a diverse workforce.

E.ON has also joined forces with the DWP and leading UK employers to support the creation of an assessment and development programme called ClearAssured. Through this work, E.ON has demonstrated that it can attract more disabled applicants, and ensure that they have the best possible chance of being offered a job with the company.

As part of the key role E.ON plays in this area, it was also invited to attend the first ever Disability Employment Conference which launched the Government's two-year campaign to help all employers become 'disability confident'.

Dave Newborough, HR Director at E.ON, attended the conference and commented: "This event has been a great opportunity for us to showcase all that we do for disabled jobseekers and for our disabled colleagues.

"Winning the 'Inclusive Recruitment' award is testament to all the hard work and combined efforts of our Occupational Health, HR and disabled colleagues."
