Our culture is one where you can be yourself. We think that if you bring your authentic self to work, then you will thrive, and we will too.
Building a diverse and inclusive culture doesn’t happen overnight though. It’s a journey that our people are part of. Employees are encouraged to contribute to topics like race, identity, sexual orientation, belonging, disability and mental wellbeing. We encourage our people to share personal stories and understand different perspectives. It puts our people at the heart of shaping our inclusive workplace.
Supporting diversity initiatives such as Black History Month and Pride are part of our way of life here and we already have much to be proud of. Our Gender Pay Gap is similar to our peers and we actively look at ways to improve.
Our aspiration is to encourage everyone at Brit to be conscious advocates of inclusion and diversity. It is a very real business priority of ours. Together we will make this happen.
Aasaa O'Mallo Mitchell, Internal Communications Manager, welcomes you to take a look around Brit.
We have worked hard to make good progress with Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) over the past few years. However, we recognise that we need to continually strive to maintain and build upon this progress, to allow a culture where everyone is supported and valued and feel they can bring their authentic self to work. That is why we continue to work to ensure I&D is part of the Brit culture DNA.
We already have many aspects in Brit that enhance and embed I&D. In particular, our employee resource groups (ERG’s) are a well-established resource that benefit from incredibly strong leadership. The ERG leaders and members encompass a range of employees from all levels, and from all walks of life.
Having responsibility for I&D at Brit, as part of ESG, I see my purpose to be an advocate and an ally, both within Brit and externally, to drive forward and support equality, diversity and inclusion. My aim is to lead by example, to listen and learn, to reflect and acknowledge, and to challenge – where necessary – to stand up and show up for what is right.
We want Brit to be a place where inclusion and diversity really matter. We may not be perfect, but we’re working hard at building a supportive culture in which everyone feels valued and can flourish. It’s a great place to work, but don’t take my word for it. Hear it from our people instead.
