We’re proud of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, celebrating individual identities. We’re also supporting our leaders, people managers, and colleagues to talk openly and confidently about LGBTQ+ issues.”

BT Group from my experience has been incredibly accepting. I worked here for 9 years before coming out as Trans. I was fully supported by my TL, my Ops, my immediate team and the wider corporate community across all our sites. - Faye Thomas, EE
You can’t ask for a better work to place in terms of feeling like you can express yourself and celebrate your identity. We have an environment where people feel comfortable and are encouraged to challenge where anything doesn’t line up with our values. - Steven Peacock, Operations Manager
In so many workplaces today LGBTQ+ people have to hide who they are and it's important to help colleagues understand the environment we have that allows everyone to be free, to be themselves isn’t always the case and supporting the LGBTQ+ community is how we make change. - Steph Lumley, EE
We recognise that Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) is not just a ‘nice thing to do’, it’s critical to our growth. Our commitment to Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity remains resolute and unwavering.
