Diversity and inclusion
Strength in diversity
We recognise that our strength lies in harnessing
the richness of our diversity to innovate and create better housing
solutions for our residents. It's long been understood that
the strongest teams include diverse ways of thinking, being and
acting.
Some of the ways that we're strenthening our
commitment to diversity:
Employee networks
Employee networks provide a forum for
employees to support each other, to raise awareness of issues and
to engage with residents.
Our networks include:
- Ability Sutton
(disability)
- LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
and Transgender)
- Stance (Cultural Diversity
Network)
Resident LGBT Champions
Later this year we plan to host an event bringing together
our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Employee Network and
residents who are interested in becoming LGBT Champions. The
staff and resident network will work together to raise awareness of
issues and provide support.
Diversity awareness week
This is an opportunity for us to celebrate the
richness of our diversity. This year we went all out to engage
staff and residents.
