From diversity to belonging: nurturing an inclusive workplace

Quick take

Our ongoing commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is fundamental to the realisation of our purpose. Diverse teams enable us to better understand and meet the needs of clients and communities across the globe. At the same time, more inclusive and equitable workplaces will provide fertile ground for learning, innovation and excellence.

By championing inclusivity, we’re not only enhancing our workplace but also enriching the communities we serve and setting a new standard for excellence in our industry.

We believe that creating a space where everyone belongs is more than just the right thing to do—it’s a smart move for our future. Fostering diversity and inclusivity is the cornerstone of a vibrant, innovative, and sustainable business.

Our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is woven into the fabric of our operations, ensuring that every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every individual is empowered to contribute to their fullest potential. By championing inclusivity, we’re not only enhancing our workplace but also enriching the communities we serve and setting a new standard for excellence in our industry.

 

Here is what some of our people said about it:

I think it is important to freely show that you are inclusive, welcoming, and open to people of all genders and sexualities. I also think it is important to be more open about it and normalize it in an industry that can be less progressive sometimes.

Simple acts send a message of support and help create a safe and welcoming workplace for all employees, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

By embracing diversity and inclusivity, organizations can foster a culture of respect and positivity that benefits everyone.

I am in support of helping to create an environment where friends and colleagues are proud of who they are without fear of judgement.

With this in mind, we have created ‘Everyone’s Business: Our global equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy’. We chose this name as it emphasises that everyone in our employee-owned business will benefit from the time and energy we invest in becoming more diverse, equitable and inclusive.

The name also highlights that everyone will be accountable for our progress against this strategic business priority.

By embracing diversity and practising inclusion, we are not just doing the right thing; we’re building a foundation for innovation, learning, and excellence that will propel us and our stakeholders into a future where everyone thrives.
