We are proud to report that we have ranked 94 in this year’s Stonewall Workplace Equality Index.
As a top 100 employer we join several top legal, construction, health, finance and education organisations who have been praised for creating a welcoming workplace where LGBTQ+ employees can bring their full selves to work. Our ranking also means we have been awarded a gold medal that we can showcase to further demonstrate our success as a diverse and inclusive business.
Stonewall’s Top 100 Employers List 2024 is the UK’s leading ranking of employers from the public, private and third sectors on how inclusive their workplaces are. Our ranking underlines our progress as an inclusive LGBTQ+ workplace.
Ken Titchen, Partner and Head of Gateley Pride (he/ him), said: “We are thrilled to announce that we have been recognised as one of the top 100 employers in the prestigious Stonewall Workplace Equality Index. This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone can bring their full selves to work. We are proud of our team’s dedication to creating a supportive environment for all employees, and we will continue to champion equality and diversity in everything we do.”
Colin Macfarlane, Director of Programmes and Income at Stonewall (he/ him) said: “Implementing inclusive practices and policies is vital for employers who wish to attract and retain top LGBTQ+ talent. The Workplace Equality Index draws participants from diverse industries and sectors, all of whom understand that inclusivity is the future and are leading the way in this vital change. By championing LGBTQ+ employees, you are fostering a happy and motivated workforce and contributing to a UK where LGBTQ+ people can thrive as their true selves.”
Stonewall is Europe’s largest charity for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, questioning and ace (LGBTQ+) people. The charity champions and fights for the rights and inclusion of all LGBTQ+ people in every step of their lives. The Workplace Equality Index is a tool that organisations can use to benchmark and measure their LGBTQ+ inclusion practices.
