Creating an inclusive and diverse workplace continued
Colleague resource groups We want to create an environment where all colleagues feel psychologically, emotionally and physically safe to be authentic, representative of the diversity of the world they live in, share their personal experiences and have equal opportunities to achieve. Our inclusion and diversity plan underpins our growth strategy and continues to evolve as our voluntary colleague resource groups, established in 2020, embed into our way of life at NCC. In addition to resource groups for our four focus areas: Gender, LGBTQIA+, Neurodiversity and Race and Ethnicity, we have welcomed the formation of new groups for Accessibility, Climate Change and Giving Back. Colleagues who wish to create a group gauge interest, given Executive sponsorship where appropriate, and supported by the corporate affairs team to set the foundations and engage members and our wider stakeholders. At the heart of this engagement is our NCC Conversations programme, which creates opportunity for colleagues to get involved in conversations across a broad range of topics. NCC Conversations range from blogs, panel sessions and resources, to providing toolkits for managers to lead the conversations locally.
Women’s International Network The Women’s International Network is complementary to our colleague resource groups and is designed to: • Create a safe space for women to be themselves • Inspire development of and attract more women to NCC Group The network is for those who identify as women and who are passionate about making NCC Group an even greater place to work. Connecting globally via Teams the network is divided into local chapters led by senior women to ensure we have sponsorship at the highest level. Over the past financial year we saw the establishment of a Breast Feeding Support Group, the launch of our Menopause Library and Support Group, and a month long International Women’s Day campaign, bringing colleagues together in our local offices as well as virtual events. Future focus We have joined the Menopause Workplace programme - Henpicked and are working towards a Menopause Friendly Accreditation. We are also continuing our investment in supporting Neurodivergent colleagues, with work started on creating a library of resources including manager guides and training resources to further enhance the support we provide.
Celebrating our colleagues Back by popular demand, and with an enhanced programme of activity after the success of the launch in 2021, this year we celebrated colleagues who role model our values and behaviours through our NCC Diamonds colleague recognition programme. The programme had over 700 nominations by colleagues across six individual categories and one team category. Divisional winners were celebrated and put forward to the global judging round. The awards are testament not only to those nominated, but to those who have taken time to write the most heart-warming references about their colleagues. Instilling a sense of pride and accomplishment, NCC Diamonds highlights the value we place on the role everyone plays in making the digital world safer and more secure
