Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity is about difference - it tells us about people in terms of the mix of our characteristics, talents, experiences and working styles. Reflecting the communities we serve to better understand their needs. 

Inclusion is about our behaviours - it’s the action we all take to make people feel welcome, breaking down any barriers they might experience. It requires us to actively practice inclusion - it does not happen on its own.

We take a broad approach to diversity

You can find out more about our strategic approach to how and what on our SAP JAM  site where we also have a collection of diversity and inclusion resources. We also ask all colleagues to complete our foundation diversity and inclusion training course, as soon as possible after joining, which will help deepen awareness and understanding.

We are committed to listening to and involving our colleagues in our progress towards greater diversity and inclusion. Our colleague networks are critical to our success, supported by our executive sponsors who collectively form our Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Forum, chaired by our CEO, Peter Pritchard.

We have four colleague networks, and everyone is welcome to join any of these, either because they identify with the diversity theme or as an ally, supporting everyone in that community.

Identity – supporting our colleagues identifying as LGBTQ+

VOICES – supporting everyone impacted by disability

Gender network – supporting gender balance

Race/ethnicity network  -  supporting colleagues from diverse ethnic backgrounds

You can find out more about our colleague networks and how to get involved from the contact information on SAP JAM.
