We’re proud to announce that Hey Me is a Disability Confident Employer! 

The Disability Confident initiative inspires employers to embrace a new perspective on disability and proactively enhance their recruitment, retention, and development practices for disabled people. 

By becoming Disability Confident, we have the opportunity to change attitudes for the better and enable better opportunities for everyone. Through joining initiatives like this, we aim to change behaviour and cultures within Hey Me, our wider network and communities, promoting inclusive recruitment practices which benefit everyone involved.  

This inclusive program was collaboratively created by employers and disabled individuals, ensuring its robustness while remaining accessible, especially for smaller businesses like Hey Me.  

Amy Jeffs, Founder & Managing Director commented: “I’m so pleased that Hey Me has joined the Disability Confident initiative. This is a great chance for us to spread awareness and encourage other organisations to embrace inclusive recruitment.”

“Since day one, Amy herself has fit seamlessly into our team, understanding the message we want to convey and the audiences we want to reach. Her upfront audit was invaluable in helping us internally hone our common voice, which has demonstrated itself in the consistency of the content we put out as a brand and as individuals within the company. Behind the scenes, Amy has instinctively adopted our internal communication methods (Slack, SharePoint) and works closely with our in-house graphic design team to ensure our graphics and copy are in sync.” Lucy Prior MBE - previously from 3Squared 2021
“I saved so much time after implementing a more structured approach which has given me the opportunity to focus on creating more content and work more closely with my clients. Amy and her team are easy to deal with and are quick to provide valuable solutions. I would not hesitate to work with Hey Me again in the future.” Karen Duncan - Lanehead Coniston
“I met Amy a few years ago at a Young Rail Professionals event and was able to provide her with an opportunity to manage the comms on a major alliance which she flourished at. Soon after she started, Marie came along to provide HR support across the multiple businesses. It seems only natural that being as dynamic and knowledge as they are, they are looking to work together on this new venture, which I am sure will be a huge success.” Karen Duncan - Lanehead Coniston
