Inclusion & Belonging

Fostering diverse, inclusive and equitable environments which recognise individuals for their unique contribution.

From the day we were born, Inclusion & Belonging (I&B) have been strategic priorities at the heart of our business. We are proud of the work we do with clients. And we apply that same mindset to our I&B approach, championing higher standards.

Our ‘I&B Vision’ sets out our commitment to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome. This is not just about signalling, but making clear and measurable progress. Sponsored by our board, it’s been designed to nurture every employee’s growth and celebrate our differences.

How we intend to make a difference

In our path towards Inclusive Employers Accreditation, we’ve already launched a range of initiatives to bring our vision to life.

Communicating our I&B vision. A programme which ensures every member of our 1,000-strong team is aware of our goals and how they can play their part in its success.

“Leaders as Allies”. Ensuring our leadership team are the best allies they can be, supporting and championing best practice Inclusion & Belonging behaviours.

Better understanding our diversity. We’re improving the data we hold to build a better, more accountable picture of our organisation’s diversity over time.

I&B Colleague Forum. The Forum represents the voice of colleagues, providing the opportunity to raise issues or areas of concern. It plays a vital advisory role in the shaping of initiatives for our Steering Committee, SteerCo.

Networks. Our current employee networks (African & Caribbean, LGBTQ+, Mental Health, Social Inclusion and Women’s) steer, support, lead, champion and celebrate diversity and values.
