Our purpose and strategy
Our purpose is Helping Britain Prosper.
If we are to become the best bank for customers then we must continue to ensure that this vision is inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community.
At Lloyds Banking Group, we're #AlwaysProud because for us, Pride isn’t a month in the calendar, it’s an all-year celebration of sexualities and identities.
We continue to push the boundaries in our marketing and advertising, making it much more inclusive and representative of our customers.
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive working environment for all colleagues and the way in which they wish to express their gender identity.
Our LGBTQ+ colleague network, Rainbow, plays a pivotal role in our approach, and is committed to connecting, developing and supporting our LGBTQ+ colleagues across the Group.
Over the years, Rainbow has supported many LGBTQ+ charities with volunteering and fundraising, including MindOut, Waverley Care and Switchboard.
Our 2023 LGBTQ+ and Ally Role Model list shines a light on our colleagues who've been nominated for their outstanding impact towards LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion.
To support LGBTQ+ colleagues with their mental health, Rainbow has created a new Mental Health Advocate programme based on the Group's already successful Mental Health Advocate programme.
This includes additional training and support tailored to the LGBTQ+ community.
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive working environment for all colleagues and the way in which they wish to express their gender identity.
We have specially trained advisors in our HR function who are experts in the field of transgender and transitioning at work, providing dedicated support to line managers and colleagues. In 2016, we were the first UK-owned company to extend our Private Medical Benefit to include gender dysphoria.
From customer focused roles in our branches, to specialist roles in tech and transformation.
No matter what role you’re in, you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference.
Together with her partner, Louisa Garrett Anderson, Flora set up the Women’s Hospital for Children which provided health care for working class children.
We strive to create a fully inclusive environment for all our colleagues, customers and communities, one that is truly representative of modern-day Britain.
We have 26 million customers right across the UK, with most already using our digital services. Now we want to bring even bigger solutions to even more people. You’ll help us do just that.
