Our CID working group is made up of volunteers from across our businesses, and they work together to drive forward initiatives that benefit everyone.

Our networking groups help create a real sense of belonging by connecting people in similar circumstances so that they can support one another.
-
Our leaders are provided with training to improve their awareness of different types of diversity, which helps us develop a more inclusive culture.

Our initiatives and memberships
We run a number of internal initiatives and groups that are managed by our people, for our people.
This includes support groups for LGBTQ+ employees, working parents, and those affected by menopause, a disability, or their mental or physical health.
Through a range of memberships, we aim to ensure everyone who interacts with us is treated fairly, from applicants to experienced employees.
We are a Disability Confident Employer, have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, and support The Women's Work Lab and Autism at Work programme.
We also work with a range of other partners to ensure we provide equal opportunities for all.
