Financial Services Compensation Scheme: An inclusive workplace

Financial Services Compensation Scheme celebrate diversity and promote an inclusive workplace.

An inclusive workplace is an environment where:

• everyone is treated with dignity and respect;
• the talents and skills of different groups and individuals are valued; and
• productivity and customer service improve because the workforce is happier and more motivated.

 Organisations we work with

We’re very proud to work with a range of campaigning organisations. Our work with these organisations help to inform our thinking and ensure we keep up with best practice. We work with:

• Stonewall
• Business Disability Forum
• Opportunity Now
• Race for Opportunity
• Mindful Employer
• Interbank LGBT Forum
• 30% club

We work closely with Business in the Community as members of their Race for Opportunity and Opportunity Now campaigns – helping to improve opportunities for ethnic minorities and drive gender balance in the workplace.  In November 2014 our commitment to diversity and inclusion was externally benchmarked by Business in the Community. We achieved silver accreditation for our position on gender, and bronze for race. We were also recognised as a Positive About Disabled People employer for the first time.

Through our work we are continuing to widen the focus of our diversity and inclusion agenda. We ensure that we are supporting the aspirations of all staff, irrespective of race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, age, marriage or civil partnership, maternity or gender reassignment.
