Novuna named UK's 15th Most Inclusive Employer

Expiry date: 29/11/2024
We’re thrilled to share that Novuna has been named the UK’s 15th most inclusive employer in the 2024 Inclusive Top 50 Employers index (IT50).

This marks our fifth consecutive year on the prestigious index and our second time ranking in the top 15 — a significant leap from 43rd place in 2020 when we first appeared on the list. This recognition highlights the strides we’ve made in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

The IT50 list, compiled by Inclusive Companies, recognises organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to diversity and inclusion across all areas of their operations.

“We’re so proud of this achievement, which reflects our commitment to embedding diversity and inclusion into everything we do,” said Craig Oddy, Head of Talent and Employee Experience. “It’s inspiring to see our efforts recognised at this level, motivating us to continue driving meaningful change.”

Championing Inclusion Across Novuna

Now in its ninth year, the Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List celebrates companies that excel across all strands of diversity, including gender, disability, age, LGBTQ+, race, and religion. The judging process evaluates inclusive practices, sustainable change, and a culture of innovation, with only the most dedicated organisations making the list.

At Novuna, diversity and inclusion (D&I) are championed by our senior leaders through the Diversity Leadership Council (DLC) and Social and Human Committee. Each initiative is supported by a dedicated executive sponsor to ensure alignment with our organisational goals and culture.

Celebrating Our Communities

Our Colleague Communities have played a pivotal role in fostering inclusion, leading impactful initiatives and celebrating key moments like Ramadan, Black History Month, and Transgender Awareness Week. These efforts spark vital conversations and inspire allyship across the organisation.

“Our Communities are the heart of our inclusive culture,” says Inclusion and Diversity Manager Andrew Polloway. “The initiatives they’ve led this year demonstrate Novuna’s dedication to building an inclusive and equitable workplace. We are proud of their contributions and role in this incredible recognition.”
