Greenwoods

Greenwoods' Diversity, Fairness & Inclusion Forum consists of a group of individuals who are passionate about celebrating diversity and learning more about others.

They have been privileged to work with some fantastic external speakers, alongside inspirational individuals from within the firm, who have run sessions and written articles to share their stories.

Examples of sessions facilitated include:

• Firmwide DFI in person training to open up conversations across the firm.
• ‘Realities of Living in a Trans Body’ - a conversation led by performance artist Fleur Bloemsma.
• Imposter syndrome training led by Executive Coach and Trainer Anita-Gohill-Thorp.
• A celebration of Black History Month, led by Chair of the Peterborough Black History Month, Bernadetta Omondi.
• In addition, there have been some great sessions led by employees, including Pride@5 and Neurodiversity. 

  Statistics show positive steps but also highlight the need for the firm to refocus efforts to achieve greater diversity in our leadership roles - it won’t happen overnight, but it is a goal Greenwoods is committed to addressing.
