- Listening to our employees via surveys, forums and networks to continuously improve
- Not tolerating discrimination or harassment by managing complaints in a structured, unbiased and timely manner
- Delivering equality, diversity, and inclusion training to embed positive behaviours in the workplace
- Sponsoring the Supporting Employee Equality Network (SEEN), giving employees a voice
- Providing guidance documents and policies to support equality and inclusion throughout the employment cycle
- Providing a dedicated inclusion and belonging space on our staff intranet to share information and views
- Promoting awareness of national events, such as International Womens Day
