To mark the recent National Inclusion Week, Booker Group has added more colleague networks following the introduction of Women at Booker earlier this year.
The two new colleague networks are Race & Ethnicity at Booker and LGBTQ+ at Booker.
They have been created to advocate and support colleagues who identify as part of a community, with all colleagues being invited to join any networks, as Everyone is Welcome at Booker.
Three virtual calls were held as launch platforms, with over 300 colleagues joining, who learnt about the aims of the networks, how they can get involved and the importance of being an ally.
Booker has added the two new groups as it says that embracing diversity and building inclusion is fundamental to the success of the business and to their core purpose of serving customers, communities, and the planet a little better every day. People director at Booker, Rebecca Mallows, said: “Colleagues networks are so important and it is fantastic that Raymond and Ian are chairing these groups. I know they will do a fantastic job of connecting, raising awareness and educating colleagues from every part of the business and they will have some fun along the way too! I am really excited to seeing how they grow and the benefits they bring for everyone.”
