Pride in Progress - our LGBTQ+ Network Group

Since its launch, the network has grown and developed into a meaningful and collaborative group with a vital role to play in the organisation. By helping to give LGBTQ+ employees a critical voice in the Group, the network has ensured that LGBTQ+ inclusion can be embedded across the organisation.

Pride in Progress was the first of the EDIB networks to be established at the Group, followed by the Roots and Carers Networks, and later, Meno Movers, our menopuase Network. Our networks' focus has been very much about visibility, sharing experiences and encouraging debate. Colleagues have shared stories, highlighted awareness events and campaigns prompted discussion, and encouraged voices from across the Group to be heard.

We are very proud that an LGBTQ+ group exists here at the Group to help colleagues feel welcome. Blogs from employees about why they joined Pride in Progress and the importance of visible LGBTQ+ role models in the workplace, including this one from Susannah, really encapsulate why the network was set up and what we as an inclusive employer, want to be.
