At Riverside, our people are our greatest asset and diversity and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

We believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity and this commitment to our colleagues and customers is cemented right though our organisation, from our board and senior leadership team down to our front line workers and office-based colleagues.

To ensure we keep ED&I in mind at all times, we work hand in hand with our three colleague network groups:

• EMpower for our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic colleagues
• Pride for those who identify as LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual and other non-heterosexual people)
• Enable for anyone with a disability, long term health condition or experiencing poor mental health.

Supported by these groups, we have been named as a Stonewall Top 100 Employer for the last seven years and have been awarded Disability Confident Employer status.

We are committed to improving representation of ethnic minority colleagues at manager and senior leadership levels and have implemented a guaranteed interview initiative to support this.

And we have worked closely with Time to Talk and MIND to stamp out the stigma surrounding mental health in the workplace.
