AFFINITY GROUPS

An Affinity Group is a network of colleagues from across the business who will have regular meetings to discuss opportunities for learning, awareness-raising and how to effect tangible change in their focus demographic.

This is a really important step here at Crest as we continue to focus on creating an inclusive environment where all our people are valued, included and empowered to succeed.

Based on volunteer feedback, the Affinity Groups we are initially launching with are:

• Disability

• Ethnicity

• LGBT+

• Mental Health & Wellbeing

• Religion and Belief

• Women in the Workplace

• Working Parents

But this is just the beginning. We need your help to grow these groups and topics to accurately represent the diversity of our business. A good number of you have volunteered in response to the last communication from Jane, but we want to ensure you have the opportunity to get involved and share your voice.

To find out more about the Affinity Groups, additional topic ideas, and how our charity partner “BITC” (Business in the Community) will be supporting us, please visit our dedicated page on Grapevine here.
