IN RECOGNITION of its continued dedication to workplace diversity, BLM has been ranked 47th in The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List 2021/22. The Top 50 is a definitive list of UK based organisations that promote inclusion across all protected characteristics, throughout each level of employment.
Now in its sixth year, the list has become the premier cross industry index harnessing best practice and innovation to drive inclusion for all. Announced through a virtual event, The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List has identified the most inclusive companies across the nation.
BLM People Director, Liz Partington said: "We are overjoyed to celebrate this ranking with every one of our colleagues who has contributed towards our equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives over the last 12 months. The dedication of our EDI Group is unwavering; over the last year colleagues have come together to create two new EDI Networks and are regularly collaborating to explore important issues which mean a great deal to others within the firm. Rankings such as the Inclusive Companies Top 50 UK Employers are important to our firm. They help us to measure and celebrate the effectiveness of our efforts, they recognise the difference our actions are making to the wider communities in which we work and they also help us to attract diverse, likeminded talent to our firm."
Organisations participating in the benchmark have provided sufficient evidence on an amalgamation of topics, designed to collate the most accurate and relevant data from employers regarding their inclusivity practices. An independent advisory panel of Diversity & Inclusion experts have reviewed and analysed each submission, determining the rankings of each participant.
"More employers have seen their people step forward to be heard and contribute to their inclusion agenda like never before, with inclusive leadership leading at the forefront and prompting employers to examine their shortcomings internally" said Founder and CEO, Paul Sesay. "Companies featured on this year's list have felt the importance of ensuring individual voices are heard and standing up as responsible employers against inequality, injustice and intolerance."
