Diversity and Inclusion at Express Solicitors

Why have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Network?

We believe that to create an environment where diversity can flourish, it is vital for all staff feel supported, heard and represented in the workplace.

We have diversity at every level of our organisation, with 25% of our workforce identifying as BAME, from a wide spectrum of religions and speaking over 20 different languages. Women make up 70% of our workforce, with 52.5% of our Partners being female. Click here to read our latest gender pay gap report.

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Network has representatives from each department to ensure that all staff feel represented and have a point of contact should they have any questions or want to raise any issues.

Here are some of the ways we promote Diversity & Inclusion at Express:

• A full calendar of event to raise awareness of topics and communities. Click here to see our latest events
• Regular Diversity and Inclusion section in our monthly newsletter, to highlight all the fantastic work the team does
• Give everyone the choice to have their pronouns in both their internal and external emails – to help with inclusivity of non-binary (they/them) or transgender people
• Suggestion boxes in all buildings so our colleagues can leave comments anonymously
• Emergency sanitary products in every bathroom across all buildings
• Introduction of gender-neutral toilets in our buildings
