Uniting Differences, Embracing Inclusion!

We wholeheartedly embrace and celebrate individuality because we believe that everyone is unique in their own way. We respect and appreciate what makes us different and want our teams to feel like they belong. We are committed to being a truly inclusive workplace where our love for our teams and customers goes beyond offering great products and great prices; it's about recognising what diverse qualities make our team members extraordinary.

We want our teams to reach their full potential. That's why we have our Everyone matters strategy in place to make sure we are always learning and listening. Our team networks ensure everyone has a voice, they help to inform and guide us to be better everyday. So come as you are, shop with us, work with us, stay with us, and experience the warmth of a retail company that loves you as you are!

"Our Age Network aims to nurture a fair, supportive, and rewarding work environment for people of all ages, creating a truly age inclusive workplace.

All team members, regardless of age, can share knowledge, innovative ideas and experiences that will enhance all aspects of the employee journey and support business growth"

"The Access All Areas Network (Social Mobility) recognises that talent is everywhere 'but that opportunity isn't' and that accessible health and beauty products applies just as much to our people as it does to products and services. We aim to make opportunities accessible for everyone. 

Through quality work and experience, apprenticeships, development programmes, and mentoring, we know that once we get people in, they can get on. Working with our charity partner, Drive Forward, we offer mentoring and skills training including CV and interview skills workshops, from our employees to care-experienced young people"

"Our DisAbility Network focuses on disabilities and long-term health conditions. We are committed to:

• Building awareness of visible and non-visible disability across the business

• Supporting our colleagues that live with these disabilities or long-term health conditions

• Breaking down stigmas and removing the labels attached to disability overall

• Working to ensure that we are an inclusive and accessible workplace

We are proud to have signed the Valuable 500, a global community revolutionising disability inclusion though business leadership and opportunity."

"The mission of the Gender Equality Network is to create a fair, supportive, and flexible workplace for people of all genders. To ensure a gender balance in our future leadership teams, we will: 

• Champion and inspire women in our business

• Remove Barriers to building a strong pipeline of diverse talent

Recently we have focused on issues such as Menopause and Domestic Abuse. We celebrate the careers of women in our business and ensure our family friendly policies work for all."

"Our mission is to provide a network for our LGBTQ+ colleagues and the allies that stand alongside us. We want team members to know that they can be the real them at work.

We are committed to supporting them, either by signposting help available internally through the network, as well as externally. We have also developed a Gender Identity and Expression Policy and support Toolkit for trans and non-binary employees at work and encouraged everyone to be comfortable sharing their pro-nouns."

"The Harmony Network supports the business to be the employer of choice that attracts a diverse workforce. We want to harness peoples unique backgrounds and talents for the benefit of individuals and customers. 

We are signatories to the Halo Code and the Race of Work Charter. We worked with our employees to develop our own Commitments, to show what we are doing to improve equality in the workplace. 

As well as celebrating key dates and religious festivals, we also host webinars on race and allyship, and mentoring and career coaching sessions for our employees."
