Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at Post Office

At Post Office, we actively encourage diversity and foster a culture of inclusion. This is important for the growth of our business since we know that diverse teams can lead to greater innovation, a better connection and increased engagement with our Postmasters and customers.

We expect everyone at Post Office to make both a personal commitment to diversity and inclusion and set a standard for others to follow. Our people reflect the diversity of the communities in which we live and work and the customers we serve. The things that make us individuals are accepted, valued and celebrated. And it’s not only our people who recognise this: we’ve been recognised externally for our commitment to diversity and inclusion too. 

An inclusive place to work

We are proud of our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) at Post Office. We are an equal opportunity and diverse employer and we understand the importance of attracting and developing diverse talent.

In November 2022 our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team won ‘Diversity Team of The Year’ in the European Diversity Awards, which is one of our proudest moments. We are proud to say we have been a ‘Times Top 50 Employer for Women’ four times in the past five years. We are a Certified Disability Confident Employer, and are also proud members of the Safe Spaces programme. We have signed the Pregnancy loss pledge and Menopause Workplace pledge to show that we are committed to supporting colleagues going through this. We are also signed to the Race at Work charter which keeps us on track to embed ED&I into everything we do at Post Office.

Striving to be better

At the Post Office we understand that we can always be better. This is why we conduct an annual company-wide EDI survey. With feedback collated through the survey and input from our EDI network groups, we are constantly reviewing our EDI initiatives with focus on ensuring we have diverse talent pipelines to support progression to senior leader roles.

As we continue to drive our EDI strategy, we regularly review diversity data and evaluate what we collect to allow us to set functional targets, measure the success of our initiatives and identify areas of opportunity – helping us drive improvements and ensure we are doing the right thing for our people now and in the future.
