Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion sits at the core of our overall culture. We embed it in our processes, practices and decision-making, at every level of the business. It is a key factor in how we will deliver our strategic objectives for the Society and our members. We recognise that we must reflect the diverse and inclusive society we serve and that our workforce must reflect this too.

 

2022 Diversification Statement

We believe that our Society and the members we serve benefit from as rich a talent pool as possible. Diversity in all its forms ensures that we make the best decisions to protect the financial security of our members in times of need.

 

2023 Key initiatives

We’re supporting the Women in Finance Charter – 

When we signed up to the Charter in October 2018 we had 33% female representation in senior management roles. By 31st August 2023 female representation in senior management roles was 40%.

We are proud of having maintained such representation. Our team continues to implement our action plan, focusing on achieving greater diversity, particularly amongst under-represented groups. We will do this through effective recruitment, retention and succession planning. And we will underpin all of this by strong internal and external communication.

The Accountable Executive for this initiative is Simon Owens, Chief Executive Officer
