Diversity Statement
- We will value everyone as an individual and encourage their contribution to business success. We want to be an organisation people are proud to work for.
- We will treat colleagues and stakeholders with openness, honesty and respect. We won’t tolerate unfair treatment or discrimination.
- We will aim to have a workforce that reflects the diverse community which we serve and policies that meet their diverse needs.
- We will develop and make the best use of the skills, talents and experience of our staff at BERR so that our people fulfil their potential and help to ensure business success in an increasingly competitive world.
We intend to:
- raise awareness of the personal benefits as well as the business case for diversity
- encourage every member of staff to actively address the issues faced by under-represented groups
- generate new thinking and insights
- create a working environment in which diversity and equality can thrive
- improve the way we monitor our progress
Our diversity strategy contains more detail on the actions we will take to improve the diversity of the Department and to meet Diversity objectives.
