Employee Network Groups

Affinity:

Embracing Diversity and Fostering Inclusion at Greater Anglia, we are dedicated to cultivating a workplace that values, respects, and includes every individual. We recognize that diversity goes far beyond box-ticking; it entails creating a culture that welcomes and celebrates the unique perspectives and talents each person brings. Hence, we established Affinity, our Sex and Sexuality Group, with a clear mission: to enhance our reputation, attract a diverse pool of talented individuals, and uphold inclusivity throughout our organisation. We firmly believe that by actively learning and educating ourselves about the experiences, challenges, and needs of the sex and sexuality diverse community, we can establish a genuinely inclusive environment.

Affinity is not merely a group that celebrates diversity on specific awareness days - it is a year-round commitment to nurturing a culture of acceptance and celebration. We understand that true inclusivity necessitates acknowledging and appreciating the contributions of all individuals, regardless of their sex or sexuality. Within Affinity, we provide a safe space for open conversations, where we can learn from one another and address behaviours that may be hurtful or offensive.

By actively educating ourselves and others, we create an atmosphere where ignorance is supplanted by understanding and acceptance. We take immense pride in supporting and uplifting our diverse employees and customers. Affinity ensures that everyone feels valued, seen, and heard. By fostering a culture of inclusivity and acceptance, we not only establish a workplace where everyone can thrive, but also convey a powerful message: Greater Anglia is a company that welcomes and embraces diversity. We cordially invite you to join us on this journey of growth and transformation as we pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. Together, let us celebrate diversity, challenge prejudices, and build a better, more accepting world.

Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can thrive, regardless of their differences.

But our work doesn't stop there. We are committed to bringing our colleagues together, fostering connections, and promoting education about our diverse backgrounds. We want to celebrate the different holidays we observe, the delicious foods we eat, the languages we speak, and the day-to-day nuances that make us who we are. Through this group, we hope to bridge understanding, break down barriers, and encourage conversations that may be challenging but are necessary for growth.

By coming together and learning from one another, we can expand our awareness of each other as individuals, despite our differences.
