Learning from each other Having organised more reverse mentoring with members of the Executive Committee and Senior Leadership Team, we now have 15 new mentees, showing great commitment from our leaders - as Leadership Specialist Nicola Moran explains: “Reverse Mentoring is a programme where colleagues from underrepresented groups mentor senior leaders to share what it’s like for them to work at Anchor. By approaching this at an individual level, leaders experience much deeper and more open conversations, often leading to a far greater appreciation of diversity and creation of a truly inclusive workplace.” Looking forward, National Inclusion Week starts on 26 September and is an opportunity to reflect on all the great things we do to promote inclusion and get involved in championing EDI. We’ll also be hosting our first Colleague Networks Conference on 28 September. Look out for more information on Workplace and in our communication bulletins.
