Diversity and Inclusion and your career

Colourful umbrellas

Diversity is at the heart of creating a sustainable business. It’s about more than just programs and initiatives, we are building a stronger business by respecting the unique needs, perspectives, and potential of each one of our colleagues. By focusing on the diversity of our teams, we are developing an inclusive business with a greater breadth of skills that people trust and are committed to.

A healthy variety of people from different backgrounds and cultures gives us the balance of voices and diversity of thought that we need to produce an environment that promotes innovation and creativity, enabling us to be better together.

Our vision is to create a working environment and culture where people of all backgrounds can bring their whole self to work and contribute at their highest level and where their differences have a positive impact.

Executive sponsors and senior leaders, supported by our Affinity Networks and passionate Diversity Champions form our Global D&I Leadership Group which defines and implements our global our D&I Strategy around 5 priorities, objectives, themes, measures, and strands: Gender, Race & Ethnicity, LGBT+, Disability, Mental Health.

Our colleague-led networks provide the opportunity for our people to build an inclusive workplace, connect like-minded colleagues and create a space where they feel safe voicing their experiences. Our networks include:

Our colleagues across all our locations come together to celebrate and champion diversity and inclusion in support of events such as International Women’s Day, Neurodiversity Celebration Week, International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, Diversity Week, and International Men’s Day and our ethos has led to several awards that recognise our efforts in building an inclusive workplace for our employees.

Our D&I Strategy and key statistics are published on our website to ensure visibility and to keep people updated with our plans and performance. To ensure we maintain pace with best practice we are a proud partner to several organisations that help support us in ensuring our employees can fulfil their ambitions with DWF and we remain a great place to work for all.

The platform supports individuals through a series of questions to create a unique profile unique to their personal circumstances.
