Workplace equality

Vodafone - Woman and two men workplace conversation

We are passionate about making the world more connected, inclusive and sustainable, and committed to creating a place where everyone can truly be themselves and belong.

The way we see it, the best innovations happen when diverse people with different perspectives collaborate. In fact, it’s only when we harness the power of the different perspectives around us that we progress as an organisation; challenging the way we do things, and doing them better – not just for our customers, but our people and communities too. That’s why we’re building an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Wellbeing & Mental Health

We recognise the importance of wellbeing to ensuring our colleagues can thrive. Our wellbeing programme encompasses physical and mental wellness, with a variety of training and services available in each of our markets. We continue to grow our employee assistance programmes and psychological support services. Many of our markets now have Mental Health First Aiders, Wellbeing Ambassadors, Mental Health champions or the local market equivalent.

Our mental health toolkit promotes understanding of mental health and supports anyone going through challenges or those helping a colleague, family member or friend, complemented by a series of global support sessions across the year.

Our annual Global Wellbeing Week and Global Fitness Challenge help maintain conversation and awareness across the year. And we continuously promote our support networks, including Lifecyle (menopause and hormonal changes), parents and carers, and WeCan (cancer) networks.

Gender equality

At Vodafone, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment and creating a workplace where women can thrive in their careers throughout Vodafone. To get there, we’re working closely with teams across the business to listen about what matters and make real changes. Click here to find out more about our work on tackling gender inequality, including our global menopause and domestic violence and abuse research and support, and our global parental leave policy which offers 16 weeks of fully paid leave.

LGBT+

We are explicit in our belief that every person has the right to be authentic in their sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression. We embed LGBT+ inclusion into our policies and processes, ensuring that the lived experience and needs of the community are reflected in all we do. We have a global functionality to display pronouns on internal tools and on our ID Badges for all UK employees. It’s important to us as an organisation that we show up collectively for events like Pride and Spirit Day, where we hold global campaigns to raise awareness and celebrate the LGBT+ community. Our LGBT+ networks help us build empathy and understanding across our community and we equip our people with training on how to be an ally to the LGBT+ community.

Disability

At Vodafone, we work hard to ensure our buildings, systems, and ways of working are accessible for all. Our disability network provides a platform to learn and understand the lived experiences of disabled people, helping break down the myths and supporting colleagues with disabilities in the workplace. We recognise our role in our communities too; we have embedded mandatory accessibility standards into our procurement process so that our products are constantly widening accessibility, and sponsored research about neurodiversity in the Tech sector in collaboration with the Change The Face Alliance. We are proud members of the Valuable 500, publicly committing to ensuring disability inclusion in our business.

Race, ethnicity & cultural heritage

Whether it’s at work or in the community, we’re striving to create a place where people from different races, ethnicities and cultural heritages (REACH) can thrive. The more we can do together, the more of an impact we can make. We understand how complex racial inequality is, and are equipping our colleagues to critically self-reflect, have impactful conversations together and collectively drive change. We focus on building awareness and allyship, addressing barriers to thriving, inclusive recruitment and partnerships to scale impact. This work is guided through our Global REACH Inclusion Standards.
