Employees Engaged

"Simply outstanding. I would like to say a massive thank you to Investing in Ethnicity for delivering an impactful session to over 600 of our Ethnicity Allies. The session was engaging, powerful, and encouraged colleagues to learn more about key topics such as power, privilege, and microaggressions. The conversations that have taken place following the session have been superb with many colleagues feeling empowered on how they can be effective allies. We are very much looking forward to Part 2 of the session and our ongoing relationship with Investing in Ethnicity to support the progressive and inclusive culture we want to see across the bank."
