Inclusion at ARAG
We know that simply having a diverse workforce is not enough. We want to create an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute their best work and reach their full potential.
We want to celebrate the fact that everyone is different yet valued and to make sure that every employee is treated with dignity and respect. We celebrate diversity and encourage employees to be their distinctive authentic self.
We have an inclusion taskforce sponsored and attended by our CEO composed of members of our various networks. The group meet bi-monthly to discuss challenges and ideas from the networks in order to ensure that we make ARAG an inclusive place to work.
Each network has its own EMC (Exec Management Committee) sponsor who works as part of the network to support and encourage their objectives. The individual networks have their own objectives and calendar of activity to engage employees across the company.
Unity the Multicultural Network
We aim to create a support system for members of the BAME community and our allies where we can meet and discuss a range of topics around inclusion, uncover issues and collectively find solutions to barriers in the workplace. Ultimately, we wish to improve representation within the business and help make ARAG an attractive place to work for members of the BAME community.
SPARK Network
SPARK provides a supportive forum for women across ARAG UK to challenge gender bias and create a more inclusive culture. Our mission is to support and empower women at all levels within our business to achieve success in their own way, providing them with opportunities to learn and develop in a way that is right for them.
Family & Carers Network
We understand that life doesn’t stop when the workday begins. Our Family & Carers Network is dedicated to helping our people balance their professional responsibilities with the demands and joys of family life and caring roles. We believe that the values of care, connection, and support that shape our personal lives should also be reflected in our workplace culture.
Heart & Minds Network
The aim of Hearts & Minds is to promote awareness, understanding, and support colleagues around health and neurodiversity. Whether you're living with a health condition, identify as neurodivergent, or are passionate about allyship, this network helps foster a culture where everyone feels supported.
