NEW NETWORKS AT BDO BDO are proud to have launched three new employee networks: the Christian Network; the Enabled Network; the Trustee Network. Our employee networks create a place for our local communities, in which we can provide support, promote inclusivity, and encourage us to be ourselves. We know that creating a firmwhere you can be yourself leads to enhanced success and – quite simply – makes life more enjoyable.
ENABLED NETWORK A previous BDO DNA survey (2019), found that 13.6% of our people identified as having a disability (including long term conditions) and 3.7% of our people identified as a carer. With this in mind the new Enabled network was formed with the vision to build on the inclusive culture of BDO where you can Be Yourself and create an environment where anyone identifying as having a different ability can truly thrive.
TRUSTEE NETWORK A number of our people hold outside positions such as charitable Board appointments, trustee appointments, school governors and parent teacher associations. The Trustee Network has been set up to support those in these positions and to also help those considering taking on such a role.
CHRISTIANNETWORK Our Christian Network provides a means of connection for followers of Jesus of all denominations with a view to encourage each other in the practice of their faith within the workplace; explain and teach the key elements of the Christian faith and to be accessible and supportive to colleagues when in need.
As alumni, you are welcome to continue your participation in any of our eight network groups: BAME; BLEND; Christian; Enabled; BDO Inspire; Muslim; Jewish; Trustee . For further information please contact alumni.officer@bdo.co.uk.
