TalkTalk

This Black History Month, we’re delighted to announce that TalkTalk is sponsoring the Empowered to Lead (2024) conference for the second year running! 💚   Hosted by She Leads For Legacy, the event is dedicated to fostering courageous leadership, diversity and inclusion. Our employee network ‘Empower’ champions these values, with a vision to ensure representation of Black, Asian and ethnic minority individuals at all levels of the business.   She Leads For Legacy is a social enterprise that supports and promotes the acceleration of Black female professionals to reach senior positions within the workplace and wider communities.   We’re looking forward to meeting other businesses to share and learn on Saturday 5th October - at The Lowry, Salford.

Introducing the future generation to a career in tech 🚀 It was fantastic to welcome students from the The University of Salford to our Soapworks HQ! Thank you to our colleagues who shared an insight into their roles – a sneak peek into a variety of departments across the business. Finished off with a lively Q&A 👏 We’re proud to play a role in supporting our local university and future talent. #WeCare #FutureTalent #CareerInTech

To conclude National Inclusion Week, we asked some members of our network committees what inclusion means to them. And it’s important to understand that inclusion means something different to everyone 💚. We have 7 employee networks at TalkTalk, each celebrating and championing inclusion at all levels of the business. They are: Empower, TalkPride, Young Professionals, Armed Forces, Women in Tech, NetZeroHeroes and TalkNeurodiversity. And we’re always open to new ideas to expand this list. What does inclusion in the workplace mean to you? #NationalInclusionWeek #WeCare #EmployeeNetworks #InclusionMatters

To celebrate National Inclusion Week and our workplace, we’re spotlighting some of our brilliant employee networks that are open to everyone.   As well as providing an important sense of community, our 7 employee-led networks champion inclusion at all levels of the business, support anniversaries and awareness days, and take part in local charity fundraising. They are: Empower, TalkPride, Young Professionals, Armed Forces, Women in Tech, NetZeroHeroes and TalkNeurodiversity. And we’re always open to new ideas and communities.    What employee networks would you like to see at your workplace?   #NationalInclusionWeek #WeCare #EmployeeNetworks #InclusionMatters

It’s National Inclusion Week, another opportunity to talk about, celebrate and elevate inclusion in the workplace.   This week, we’re putting the spotlight on our fantastic employee-led networks and the important work they do here at TalkTalk.   We spoke to Sarah Blake, FCIPD, our Chief People Officer, about the importance of community in the workplace.   How does your workplace support and elevate inclusion?   #NationalInclusionWeek #WeCare #EmployeeNetworks #Inclusion

It’s great to see our team making a difference! Our customer marketing colleagues recently had a productive day volunteering with Growing Togetherness to clear a footpath at Seedley Pavilion Community Cafe and Gardens.   We offer all colleagues three days per year to Give Something Back to the local community – whether it’s sharing our skills or offering a hand to protect the environment. It’s fantastic to see our teams using these days for such a variety of interests!   We’d love to hear about other local volunteering opportunities, so let us know if you’re looking for any help or support with new initiatives or charitable causes.   Mark Frith #GiveSomethingBack #WeCare
