Gender Forum at DIO

The aim of the Gender Forum is to help DIO achieve its diversity and inclusion objectives as set out in its D&I Strategy and Delivery Plan. This activity will also provide a channel for individuals to share their personal experiences, develop and grow competences and network by making the right connections with colleagues across the organisation.

The Gender Forum is an inclusive, supportive network that encourages discussion and exploration of gender equality issues and challenges and is open to colleagues of all gender identities.

The DIO Gender Forum is a staff network dedicated to and passionate about making DIO a more diverse, inclusive and equal place to work.

We encourage a supportive and welcoming culture, where everyone can bring their whole self to work.​

We are an inclusive network for colleagues of ALL gender identities.

It is our belief that a diverse workforce can bring talent and qualities that will help us be successful and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all our employees can thrive.

Our efforts will ultimately enable us to improve the way we attract, support and retain colleagues and enable them to perform at their best and have a great career within DIO.  The Forum also includes a Women’s Network sub-group.

International Women’s’ Day and Transgender Day of Visibility in March and International Men’s’ Day in November are just some of the key activities for our group.

Our Vision Statement:
