The purpose of Out at Tesco network is to encourage people to ‘be themselves’ at work and not worry about hiding anything, which can make everyone work more productively.
Tesco want to highlight to colleagues that they ‘have a place to go’. Tesco offer networking, support, mentoring, development and social activities. Tesco also want to highlight to our non LGBT colleagues that ‘we are here’ demonstrating stonewall that everyone is welcome at Tesco. You don’t have to have to identify yourself as LGBT to join.
We are now a Diversity champion with Stonewall who will help us develop a diverse culture and network, and who can advise us on any diversity challenge or query. Being a Diversity champion means we are part of a network with over 600 employers where we can share ideas with other sectors and regions.
