Colleague Networks
Our three colleague networks provide a brilliant opportunity for colleagues from minority groups and their allies, to get together and share their own personal experiences, offer feedback on the way we do things at Greggs and provide support to one another.
Each network is attended by colleagues from around the business, Operating Board Directors sponsor each network, meaning we have the right people tuning in to help build a truly inclusive workplace which values, acknowledges and empowers our colleagues.
ETHNIC MINORITY NETWORK
Established in early 2021, this group have embraced the opportunity to share and celebrate their life experiences and achievements with the wider business through our Being Inclusive calendar, on occasions such as Diwali, Vaisakhi, and throughout Black History Month. They’ve played an integral role in shaping our Zero Tolerance message to customers and as the network develops, we will continue to listen and learn from them, helping to inform and progress our D&I agenda.
DISABILITY INCLUSION NETWORK
Our most recently formed colleague network have moved at pace to start making a difference to our colleagues with disabilities. They’ve contributed towards the development of a disability inclusion and neurodiversity e-learning module available to all colleagues, shaped a series of neurodiversity guides to support our line managers and colleagues to understand more in this area, and have shared personal experiences through the Being Inclusive calendar. We’ll continue to lean on this network as we work to build a workplace which is accessible for all.
LGBTQ+ NETWORK
Our longest standing colleague network have been working together for several years and continue to welcome new members from different areas of the business. They’ve recently established their network vision and mission and exist to ensure that Greggs is a great place to work regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. They use their collective voices to support, represent our colleagues and share knowledge and experiences.
