We strive to create a space where everyone feels valued and respected. We champion diversity of thought, background, and experience, believing it fuels innovation and collaboration. Our commitment is to empower each individual, fostering an environment where they can thrive. Together, we build a community that values every voice, driving our collective success.
At Novuna, we're committed to ensuring everyone has equal access to opportunities. We know that being able to strike a balance between home and work is a fundamental part of making that happen.
Our Working Inclusively Framework enables our people to find balance and still have a fulfilling career through agile and flexible working options.
Recognised for our work in creating a more inclusive workplace, Novuna has been recognised as a UK Top 50 Inclusive Employer by Inclusive Companies five years in a row.
As Disability Confident Committed, we aspire to change the attitudes toward disability in the business sector and beyond.
As part of the commitment, we are working to ensure our end-to-end process recruitment is inclusive and accessible to all and provide assistance to our existing colleagues who openly share that they have a disability.
As signatories of the Women in Finance Charter, we are committed to a gender-balanced workforce and supporting the progression of women into senior roles at Novuna.
As part of this, we are required to set our own targets and publicly report on the progress of delivering these to support driving change in the finance sector.
As of September 2023, we had 32.5% women in senior management positions, up from a figure of 27.5% in 2021 to demonstrate our progress over the past two years.
The Race at Work charter is our public commitment to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace.
As a signatory, we are required to make seven commitments to improve diversity and inclusion and race equality. These include appointing an executive sponsor and supporting our race inclusion allies.
We’re committed to creating a safe, welcoming workplace for all colleagues, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. That’s why we’ve partnered with LGBT Great to gain valuable insights, drive meaningful change, and empower our people.
LGBT Great supports financial services organisations in building authentic inclusion, working with over 50 companies worldwide. They provide access to mentoring, training, and industry-leading frameworks, helping to create a more inclusive culture.
We’ve introduced two new STAR Award categories to our recognition program: Diversity & Inclusion and Community.
These awards recognise colleagues who go above and beyond to create an inclusive and supportive workplace.
We have over 20 Mental Health First Aiders, all of whom have recently undergone refresher training with Mental Health England to ensure they can provide the best possible support.
We believe that inclusion is an ongoing journey of learning and growth. We launched LEAP, which provides colleagues with the tools and education to build a more inclusive workplace.
Our vibrant communities unite individuals from every corner of the business, fostering a sense of belonging and ensuring every voice is heard. Led by colleagues for colleagues, these groups serve as platforms for sharing insights, sparking meaningful dialogues, and driving positive transformation. Together, we create a collaborative environment where innovation thrives and everyone contributes to our shared success.
