People development, inclusion & wellbeing

Creating a safe, healthy and inclusive workplace

At the heart of Clifford Chance is a commitment to inclusivity, professional growth, and the health of colleagues, ensuring that our people can achieve their full potential.

When people thrive, they deliver their best work to clients, colleagues, and communities. The firm's long-term people and talent strategy is built upon the pillars of modernising Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, Career Progression, Learning and Leadership Development, Compensation and Wellbeing.
In the year ended 30 April 2024, the firm made significant strides in enhancing its global talent approaches.

The firm's learning and development programme is global and inclusive, offering accessible training to nurture future leaders.

The firm is embedding its health and wellbeing strategy. We are a proud signatory of the Mindful Business Charter, and during FY24 continued our investment in the Global Business Collaboration for Better Workplace Mental Health, which transitioned into the MindForward Alliance.

The firm's growing network of Mental Health Champions, is forging a culture where people can be transparent about their mental health, and where open conversations are encouraged.

We are ensuring that our use of AI is responsible and aligned with our values, and that our people have the tech skills for effective, competent adoption.
