Diversity & Inclusion in Finance

We know that leadership development has the power to increase productivity, personal influence and impact - and that inclusive leadership improves employee engagement. Our Leadership DNA programme challenges our people to reach for their ambition no matter their skillset or background through open, unbiased dialogue about diversity in leadership. 

It’s exciting to see our business thrive as we move away from a permission-based flexible working policy, to an individual employee-led flexibility culture. Meaning that our employees determine their own flexible working schedule that works for both them and the business. Find out more.

Our six-month long Women’s Impact Programme is designed to address gender diversity and inclusion by confronting the challenges that commonly impede women from achieving leadership roles. The programme offers high potential women 1:1 coaching, mentoring and tailored events to support them in reaching their true potential.

At SFS we understand the importance of raising awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues in order to provide a safe, supportive community for our colleagues. Our two main objectives are to: provide a network for LGBTQIA+ colleagues to feel they can bring their whole selves to work; and to increase understanding of issues which may be faced by people in the LGBTQIA+ community, and what each of us in SFS can do to help.

The BAME network is proud to introduce BEAUT (Black Equality Allies United Together) which is the first established community within the network.

BEAUT have created a safe space to understand Racial inequality and have implemented solutions to drive change. Our ambition is to build a culture of inclusion by addressing unconscious bias, aided by allyships advocating for equal opportunities within the workplace. We aim to do this by raising awareness, encouraging accountability for self-education and by celebrating the diverse communities within Siemens.
