Empowering our people
Creating an environment where everyone can reach their potential.
People are the heartbeat of our business
-
Everyone belongs
A culture where everyone can be and do their best.
-
Believing in balance
Monthly meeting-free Rejuven8 days give us breathing space to feel energised, focused, and creative.
-
Putting people first
Colleague voices help us to shape policies that make a difference.
We’re so proud of our diverse, engaged and dedicated team who work together to deliver what our members and communities need. We celebrate our differences and create opportunities and experiences for everyone to thrive. In 2023, we were named Financial Services Company of the Year by the National Centre for Diversity. And we’ve been recognised as a top 50 employer in the UK by Inclusive Companies.
Our colleague-led networks are safe spaces for all voices and viewpoints to be aired and shared on the things that matter in their world, and in the wider world.
Empowerment goes beyond our day-to-day business. We encourage our people to play an active role in driving change where it really matters to them. And everyone can use up to 2 paid volunteering days each year to give back and create impact in their communities.
How we’re empowering our people
Being a supportive and caring employer is a non-negotiable. We’re always looking for ways to make sure work works for everyone. Here’s a snapshot of how we do that:
-
Creating a culture of support
Our networks include environment champions, mental health advocates, carers support, Pride, and neurodiversity.
-
Inclusivity by design
Creating a workplace and a culture of belonging that actively includes and welcomes everyone.
-
Supporting the Race at Work Charter
Committing to improving opportunities for Black, Asian, Mixed Race and ethnically diverse colleagues.
-
Supporting the next generation
Delivering personal and professional development opportunities to support people on the next step in their careers.
