Over the past strategy period, we have made significant strides in our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). Key achievements include making unconscious bias training mandatory for all staff, introducing Shine sessions in induction and Managers Essentials, establishing seven staff networks, and becoming recognised as disability confident leaders, menopause-friendly committed, mindful employers, and signatories of the Race at Work Charter.
We have also increased engagement in our Shine Working Group, participated in external EDI events, and celebrated numerous events internally. However, now is not the time to become complacent. We must leverage our learnings to further enhance our EDI commitment, as there is still much more to be done.
Outlined below are our key focus areas for the next three years. The main theme is collaboration across the entire organisation, not just within HR, to embed EDI into our culture. By working together, we can achieve much more.
