+ Championing diversity When we founded Medical Family Finance we did so in the belief that we could be different to the many financial planners in our industry. We knew that we wanted to be friendly, jargon-free and innovative and that our clients and colleagues would be treated fairly. We hope you'll agree that we have done our best to fulfill this aim. We have said many times in 2020 that we are proud to work with a very special group of medical clients who have dedicated their careers to helping patients. It is our privilege that in turn, we can provide a service that supports the people who do so much for others. The majority of our clients work (or have worked) for the NHS, one of the most diverse workforces in the country. We are delighted that our own workforce reflects this diversity – something that we are keen to shout about. In fact, as we mentioned in our client update in October, we are now working with the National Centre Medical Family Finance News Winter 2020
for Diversity to gain accreditation for our organisation that we are doing the right thing. In the next few months, we will be taking steps to prove that equality and diversity are at the heart of our organisation. As part of the Centre’s audit of our company, you may be asked to provide testimonials that we have treated you fairly and that we champion an inclusive workplace culture. We welcome your feedback as we work towards our end goal – receiving our ‘Investors in Diversity’ award. This is the national equality standard and gives organisations a framework to improve practices that focus on Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement (FREDIE). Of course, you do not need to wait for a survey to let us know how we are doing. If you believe we could be doing more, please get in touch.
