Gender Pay Gap

Cultivating a culture of inclusion

We are focused on creating a culture in which our colleagues are able to fulfil their individual potential as well as contribute to our collective goals.

Learning around inclusive environments is also provided at different levels. All new joiners are given an opportunity to explore what an inclusive culture looks like in practice and the role everyone has in maintaining and enhancing it. This is done through facilitated discussions in our Conscious Inclusion workshops which are part of our onboarding programme. Our People Manager Programme, ‘Managing for Results’, is designed to drive confidence in managing people  including a module on creating inclusive environments. Our ‘Leading for Impact’ programme for senior leaders has inclusion principles embedded throughout the content.

In addition, we track a number of Inclusion measures within our annual employee engagement survey to better understand career experiences and to help identify where further action is needed.

We have introduced policies to enable more employees to balance their work and family lives, including family building, carers leave, menopause leave and pregnancy loss policies.

We recognise that a sense of community and wellbeing at work are integral contributing factors to the success of ICG. Our employee networks contribute significantly to the employee experience at ICG, underpinning our inclusive culture. They are global, employee-led and bring people together who share identities, interests and ambitions for personal development and progress on inclusion. In addition to Evolve, which aims to support and create opportunities for women at ICG and in the wider industry, we have networks covering: cultural and ethnic heritage and differences; respect and equality for everyone regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; early careers; family and carers; and disability, sport and wellbeing. The networks also collaborate with each other, ICG people more widely, and their counterparts at other organisations, on topics of common interest.

We are committed to working together to make ICG a more diverse and inclusive organisation that we can all be proud of. More information, including on our policies, employee initiatives and networks can be found within the our Inclusion section.
