2022 - Looking Back

Ingeus are committed to providing equal opportunities to all current and prospective employees regardless of age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership. We aspire to have a diverse workforce because, in our view, diversity enables better business outcomes. We also believe that a more inclusive workplace, where people of different backgrounds work together, ensures better outcomes for all our staff and participants.

The LGBTQIA+ group is a sub-group of our Diversity& Inclusion (D&I) Group. They meet separately to the main D&I group to allow them to focus specifically on LGBTQIA+ goals that we want to achieve as a business.

In 2022 this group shared personal stories of understanding their own sexuality and identity, of coming out to others (including why they did or didn’t), and how being LGBTQIA+ has affected their work relationships and their ability to be authentic in the workplace. This was selected as a priority for 2022, as the group wanted to help colleagues across Ingeus to better understand the range of experiences their LGBTQIA+ colleagues may have had, why some people may be really open about their sexuality and gender identity, and why others might not feel comfortable sharing that part of themselves in work.

We’ll share one of these stories as our next article.
