West Ham United Football Club

As a Premier League football club they have a relatively unique position in that they have staff and players from all around the world. One of example of how they utilise this diversity is to use their Academy players to help recruit coaches. Additionally, this diversity provides representative selection panels to aid their selection and recruitment.

The Club fully funds all apprenticeship qualifications at all levels for anyone who wishes to do one right up to MBA level. They provide modern language (currently Spanish and Italian lessons) for staff– giving the opportunity to learn a new language is advantageous for both personal and professional development.

Mentoring is actively encouraged within the Club at all levels. All staff receive the opportunity to be mentored by someone more senior in the organisation. The best example of this is that the Vice Chairman has employees that she personally mentors. In a recently launched initiative every employee has the opportunity to shadow other key staff members across departments.
