A fundamental part of feeling at home in your career is knowing you can be yourself, whoever you are and wherever you’re based.
It’s important to us that our workforce is as diverse as the customers we support. Around 64% of our staff and 38% are from culturally diverse groups. Approximately 46% of customers we support are also from these groups.
In 2021 we were awarded the Inclusive Employers Standard Silver Award for our work in Diversity & Inclusion (D&I). This work includes a D&I strategy, based around five key strategic objectives:
- Create and maintain an inclusive work environment for all staff - so everyone feels able to be themselves at work.
- Attract, develop and retain staff from the widest pool of talent.
- Make sure our diversity data shapes our annual priorities for inclusion work.
- Ensure compliance with legal regulations and requirements relating to D&I.
- Deliver accessible services and equitable outcomes across customer groups.
“At Look Ahead, we are continually striving to be as inclusive an organisation as possible. We want to build an environment that includes and encourages people from all backgrounds and where each and every staff member feels comfortable bringing their most authentic self to work.”
