To support the delivery of our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, we have set up a number of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), whose aim is to enable employees to get together based on shared characteristics or life experiences. There are currently five ERGs in place, and one of them is DiCE, our Network for Race, Culture and Ethnicity.
DiCE (Diversity Inclusion Cultural & Ethnicity) has an Executive Sponsor who supports the team to achieve its Vision – ‘To recognise, value, promote and celebrate people of all races, ethnicities, nationalities and cultural heritage.’
The objectives of DiCE are as follows:
Since its establishment, DiCE has achieved the following:
We are immensely proud of all that our DICE Network has achieved and the progress that has been made in supporting our community of colleagues. We look forward to supporting them further and working together on our journey to drive change and inclusion.
