Improving the diversity of our workforce and ensuring that all staff are given the opportunity to flourish in a work environment where they feel supported, valued and included is a key strand of our 2020-24 People Strategy.

UKEF has made significant progress over the last five years to the point where our workforce is the most diverse of any government department on ethnicity grounds but we recognise that there is much more for us to do.

To achieve our ambitions all UKEF staff must feel that they can be themselves at work, valued for the unique perspectives that they bring, and able to progress as far as their talents take them. Building this inclusive work environment is essential to facilitating the delivery of our ambitious 2020-24 Business Plan – the whole of our output will be greater than the sum of our parts.
