Inclusion at Interpath

We exist to help our clients seize transformational opportunities or navigate their most difficult challenges, and so we need to draw on the brightest minds from the broadest range of backgrounds to bring the most insightful perspectives. To do that, it's essential that it is in our DNA to support and celebrate our people as individuals and that we all have the ability, resources and guidance to achieve our long-term career ambitions.

Values

• Do the right thing - Our comfort zone is uncomfortable. We always make the right decision, not simply what is easy or popular.
• All hands on deck - Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with colleagues and clients, be that physically or from afar. Our individual expertise may find the answers, but implementation happens through teamwork.
• Passion drives success - The impossible is always possible. We push the boundaries of what is expected because we're never satisfied with the status quo. Our clients expect the right result when they engage with us, and it's only by delivering this that we win.
• Embrace different - We welcome diverse cultures and mindsets, and we believe that people are equal, but not the same.
