Colleague participation We recognise that our colleagues are essential to making Anchor a great place to work and when we feel supported and happy in work, this positivity reaches those very people we are here for – our residents. We are committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive organisation and ensuring that we harness the talents of all our colleagues. One of the ways we wish to support this is through the development of our networks that contribute to addressing and solving problems for under-represented groups and individuals within our organisation. Anchor’s colleague networks are colleague-led and aim to offer advice to the business and support to colleagues. They are: • The Enable Network (for those living with impairments, disabilities and neurodiversities), • The Embrace Network (our race and ethnicity colleague network), • Inclusive Ambassadors (our allies network for championing equality, diversity and inclusion) and • The Rainbow Network (our LGBTQIA+ colleague network). Anchor conducts an annual Listening and Acting Survey. In 2022-23, 84% of colleagues contributed to the survey and many also commented on the online Culture Crowd activity, submitting thoughts on Anchor’s culture and what really matters to colleagues. This resulted in strong feedback that colleagues wanted Anchor to be as environmentally sustainable as possible. Colleagues made more than 8,700 comments in the Listening and Acting Survey on what we’re doing well and what colleagues think we can improve. Some of the most positively-rated areas are the steps we’ve taken to be more inclusive as an organisation, such as the great work involving our colleague networks. Colleagues also highly rated our training and development offer. The Executive Committee took the results of the last survey and fed back with action plans which were then cascaded and further developed at departmental and team levels.
