Diversity and Inclusion

At DWF we aim to create an inclusive environment where you can bring your whole self to work and enable our diversity to truly flourish.

All our people help to shape our culture by sharing their perspectives, experiences and challenging our thinking. We value this diversity of thought as it helps us to become a better global business and be better together, which is one of DWF's core values.

Building an inclusive workplace

Our employee-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:

Out Front: our company wide network for lesbian, gay, bi and trans colleagues, and any ally colleagues.
This is Me: our company wide network for progressing gender parity.
Race and Ethnicity Network: our group focused on increasing BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) diversity and promoting cultural diversity across the business.

Our global diversity and inclusion campaigns

Each year all of our locations come together to celebrate and champion diversity and inclusion:

International Women's Day involves initiatives that give voice to the importance of creating a gender-equal world, and sessions where we inspire the next generation of women and colleagues who share their stories in photos, quotes and blogs.
Diversity Week provides an opportunity to reflect on our achievements, showcase our inclusion initiatives and take the time to gain new perspectives on our lives and others around us.
International Men's Day encourages our male colleagues to become champions and sponsors for gender equality. It provides an opportunity to address issues facing men including working flexibly, men's mental health, and boys in education.
