"Working here has been fantastic. I've had great opportunities very early on in my career."
At Barclays Wealth, we actively promote diversity to sustain continued business success and ensure we’re bringing in world-class professionals, whatever their background. It’s long been our commitment to:
Build a workforce that reflects the communities in which we live
Ensure that the talents of all our employees are fully utilised
Create a working environment that encourages dignity and respect
Build a reputation for fairness, integrity, innovation and creativity
Diversity is a business imperative and we value it as such. Our employee networks bring together people from similar backgrounds and interests, with established Gender, Multicultural, LGBT, Disability, Age and Families & Parenting groups already up and running.
Providing support for professional and personal growth for members, these networks are open to all employees and aim to:
Establish a strong network of contacts and support
Encourage the development of professional relationships across Barclays Wealth
Promote personal development through discussion forums and spotlight lunches
Increase diversity awareness across Barclays Wealth
Provide information and links to external networks and organisations
To help us recruit the brightest minds we also work with a number of external agencies. We are proud to be a partner of Shaw Trust, a national charity that works with employers and disabled people to match talent to outstanding opportunities, and we also work with Rare Recruitment, an organisation that connects exceptional people from diverse backgrounds with great jobs in top organisations.
