    An excellent question, and one with a lengthy answer!

    Standard Life takes Diversity & Inclusion incredibly seriously, as it doesn’t just matter for or within or organisation, but is a reflection of our customers and the communities we serve.  We fully embrace our differences, as they make us stronger as an organisation and help us to better serve and understand our customers, and each other.

    We pride ourselves on being a "Bring your WHOLE SELF to work' organisation in whatever format that may take.

    As well as the various sports and social networks we have, we have a multitude of Employee Networks aimed at promoting and sharing individual perspectives and outlooks, which are open to ALL Standard Life employees to build on and celebrate our diversity, and make sure everyone is included.  Below is a snapshot of the major employee networks that exist and are very active within Standard Life:

    • Standard Life Culture:  Your Voice
    • Families Network – Celebrating Families In all Shapes, Sizes & Formats
    • Wellbeing Network
    • Carers Network - Supporting Employees and their Families who have carer responsibilities
    • MOSAIC Network - With & celebrating the various Nationalities & Cultures that make up our wonderfully diverse Team
    • Armed Forces Network - For Employees & their Families who are current or former Armed Forces Personnel
    • The Balance Network - For All things Equality
    • iBelieve Network - For all Employees of a Faith
    • Enable - For our Differently-abled Colleagues & their Allies
    • Mind Matters - Our Mental Health Network
    • Ignite - Focusing on & Supporting our Valued Older Colleagues
    • Mentoring Network
    • PRIDE Network - For our LGBTQI+ Colleagues & Allies
    • Sustainability Network - Diving Sustainability across our Business
    • Community Heros - Celebrating our colleagues for the work they do within their Local Communities
    • Ages & Stages- Focusing on addressing & eliminating Age Bias

    As I said earlier, this is a small snapshot of the company & Employee Networks that we have in place, but goes to show that it is the differences that make us great!
