“Inclusion is vital to the success of our organisation. Having a wealth of people from different backgrounds and with different experiences introduces new ways of thinking which in turn informs the ways in which we work. Challenging our thinking and decision-making helps us to continually improve and outperform against our targets. It also better reflects our region and the customers and communities that we serve every single day”.
Build Trust, Do the Right Thing and Are Always Exploring
At Anglian Water, we believe that inclusion is vital to doing good business and supports the long-term health of the organisation. We believe that a diverse workforce creates idea generation, and strengthens our adaptability to overcome future challenges. Our culture of openness, respect and honesty is built on our inclusive approach to everything we do.
Inclusion is vital to the success of our organisation and being inclusive is an integral part of being a responsible business. We value diversity of thought and believe having people from different backgrounds and with different experiences stimulates innovation and improves the ways in which we work.
This year, we’ve needed to adapt to our everchanging environment and explore different ways of doing things to ensure we deliver on our commitment to our customers and our region.
We recognise and value the diversity of our people whose backgrounds, experience and identities broaden and enhance the capability and success of our teams. We are committed to reflecting the diversity of our customers in our workforce and with our supply chain partners.
Our inclusion-based approach recognises that people who work for us, or who want to work for us, will be valued, treated fairly and respected for their individuality.
Our inclusion-based approach recognises that individuals who work for us, or who want to work for us, will be valued, treated fairly and respected for their individuality. We support our colleagues to share their knowledge, share their skills and develop their potential.
We’ve recently set up an Inclusion Community which brings together people from all walks of life, from different minority groups and our allies, to help us create an ongoing conversation about Inclusion at Anglian Water.
Like a staff network, it offers a support forum as well as a safe space to voice ideas, and really drives the inclusive culture we are built on.
