“Diversity, equity and inclusion is about providing the right opportunities and, at the same time, creating a culture in which everyone feels valued and empowered to thrive.
We recognise that we are at the start of our journey and that the issues we have to tackle are multifaceted and complex. We know that overcoming these challenges will require us not just to listen, but to really hear what we are being told, and then be completely open and honest about where we are on the journey.
Only then can we knock down the barriers so that everyone can thrive and build a truly inclusive culture where we all feel we belong.”
Steve Hare, Sage Chief Executive Officer
At Sage, we are still at an early stage of our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) journey. The strategy will be the roadmap that charts our DEI journey, and this will be underpinned by our vision statement and commitments, which will act as the compass that guides our behaviours along the way.
We are committed to knocking down barriers so everyone can thrive. That starts with our own teams. We know this is the right thing to do, and we also know that having varied perspectives fuels our innovation. It helps generate better ideas to serve our customers. We are a global company and we must reflect the diverse world we work in. We are committed to an inclusive workforce that fully represents the many different cultures, backgrounds and viewpoints of our customers, our partners and our communities.
Our six commitments will help us advance DEI at Sage, and foster a stronger sense of belonging.
Colleague Success Networks are a way for colleagues to come together, support each other, and provide ideas back to the business. These might have been known to you in other organisations as Employee or Business Resource Groups.
Our Colleague Success Networks enable our colleagues to be right at the centre of our evolving culture, bringing together many different voices to provide insights and support changes to our colleague and customer experience as well as providing opportunities for personal career development.
Our Colleague Success Networks are formed based on lived experiences and shared aspects of identity, such as gender, race and ethnicity, LGBTQ+ , disability, neurodiversity, family support, and veterans.
These are the external partners we have chosen to guide us on our DEI journey, to move from vision through to execution.
