Employee networks

We want our colleagues to feel included and valued every day. Our employee networks help create 'safe spaces' for colleagues to think about how they influence the environment around them, to share experiences and to learn more about each other.

Our employee networks are run by colleagues, for colleagues. They also have direct engagement with our Board and our most senior leaders.
