Diversity & Inclusion at Greene King
Equality and diversity in the workplace is incredibly important. We believe in creating an environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Hospitality is all about people coming together and at Greene King, we celebrate our differences.
With over 200 years of history, we’ve welcomed people from all walks of life into our pubs, restaurants, and hotels. We offer that same warm welcome to our diverse teams. After all, when we pull together, we create something truly special.
Here, we’ll take a closer look at diversity at Greene King and how we ensure everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to shine at work.
What diversity means at Greene King
Our diversity and inclusion strategy is woven into the fabric of who we are. We believe everyone deserves a job that makes them happy, and our inclusive environment contributes to that. We make sure that everyone feels seen, heard, and supported to reach their full potential.
One of the ways we achieve this is through employee resource groups (ERGs): Our ERGS provide safe spaces for open dialogue and collaboration. With groups focused on disability, female support, the LGBTQ+ community, and ethnic minorities, our ERGs have huge benefits that help us to champion inclusivity in the workplace.
We ensure there’s no barrier to entry when it comes to recruitment. We’re looking for the best talent out there irrespective of their background and we work hard to ensure our hiring process is fair and accessible.
How we foster a positive company culture
A great company culture has to be nurtured. We’re proud to be fostering a culture where collaboration and respect are front and centre. Here’s how we do it:
- Championing our company values: Our values are more than just slogans. We put people at the heart of everything we do to make the experience better for everyone.
- Promoting inclusivity: Through diversity and inclusion training and education, we encourage teams to embrace differences and learn from one another. Wellbeing is important to us and inclusivity is a big part of that.
- Listening to feedback: Open communication is key. We listen to what our team and make changes to ensure everyone feels right at home.
