We are a values-led organisation and seek to continually improve the way that we integrate feminism, equality and diversity into our internal and external work. Recently this has included an HR policies review that resulted in enhancements to employee benefits such as parental leave, and the introduction of miscarriage and menopause policies; a salary review to ensure our salaries are fair and competitive; and whole-team training on equalities issues including disability and anti-racism. Later this year we are planning a piece of work on feminist leadership.
