Almost 5,000 group and senior level leaders
have attended diversity and inclusion training
programmes since we started the training in
2009. This is about three-quarters of the eligible
population and is consistent with our plans. We
intend to train the remaining senior managers
by the end of 2014.
We believe the structures and networks we
have to support our employees are just as
important as our focus on achieving diversity
representation goals. We have established
mentoring and sponsorship programmes for
women and minorities, and are introducing
diversity principles that will help guide our
hiring and career development programmes.
