Diversity and inclusion
A journey to fairness, belonging and inclusivity
Creating an inclusive culture
We’re on a journey to make Simply Business a fairer, more inclusive place to work.
We won’t be happy until we’ve created a truly inclusive culture. Everyone, whatever their background, role or location, should feel comfortable being their whole, authentic self at work.
Along the way we’ll adopt robust practices to help everyone feel they belong here.
We all have a part to play – to learn more, do more, and to go further – in building a workplace that reflects the diversity of the customers we serve.

Leading inclusively
We educate all of our leaders so they’re able to build inclusive teams, listen with empathy, and act as role models. Beyond leadership, we also offer educational workshops on inclusion that are open to everyone. These workshops provide a supportive place to listen, learn and take action to build a more inclusive, understanding culture.
Communicating with respect
Respect and inclusivity is at the heart of our communications strategy, and it’s an ongoing process to make sure all voices are heard. We provide support and education for allies so they can learn how to best support their underserved colleagues at SB.
Creating space to connect
Our diversity networks are set up both for and by people from historically underserved groups. They provide spaces for connection, mentorship, and an opportunity to share stories in the workplace. Our network members organise events at key times in the year to bring our community together. Network leads meet regularly with business leaders to elevate the voices of their members.
Being accountable
Our D&I Programme Manager coordinates our global diversity and inclusion efforts. However, everyone at Simply Business is responsible for advancing our D&I strategy. Our D&I Leadership Committee includes our Group CEO and key senior leaders throughout the business. Together, they regularly meet with our diversity network leads to discuss key topics, and consider feedback from our diversity and inclusion survey to continuously improve what we do.
