Moving forward as one

A workplace that’s inclusive for all of us, that’s the collective ambition of One Royal Mail, a business-wide mission already spearheading powerful growth and change.

This includes our six employee resource groups, each one providing vital support, raising awareness and ensuring every colleague has a voice when it comes to shaping Royal Mail of the future.

“We all want to work in a business where we not only feel safe and supported, but can thrive and feel like we really belong,” explains Winnie Annan-Forson, Royal Mail’s head of diversity, equity and inclusion.
