WE PUSH OURSELVES & CHALLENGE EACH OTHER TO GO FURTHER
We’re passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Find out more about what this means at Saga.
We are committed to making sure that colleagues can be themselves and perform at their best. We do this by creating a truly inclusive culture, where colleagues can bring their full and authentic selves to work.
We actively celebrate our differences and foster a culture of belonging that unites our teams through a wide range of lived experiences. We strive to create a culture where individuals from all backgrounds, beliefs, abilities and experiences feel valued and supported. We understand the enormous benefits of having diverse teams working together and we aim to foster an inclusive culture which is free from discrimination and harassment.
Being there for our colleagues through all life events also means supporting them at difficult times. Alongside enhanced Maternity and Paternity leave we have several policies to support in this space, including grandparents leave. We’re also a proud signatory of the Pregnancy Loss Pledge with the Miscarriage Association and have a ‘Caring for Others’ policy.
We’re committed to continuously improving and reviewing our policies to make sure that they support all our colleagues in the best way.
At Saga, we believe our multi-generational teams are key to our success. Our people make us special and we are determined to support them through each life stage. We are proud to be an age friendly employer, and we strive to ensure our workplaces and recruitment processes are suitable and equitable for everyone, no matter their age.
All colleagues are entitled to parental and grandparents leave, helping support parents to take time away from work to care for the different needs of their children.
Our Colleague Resource Groups and initiatives
With a vision to be the largest and most trusted brand for older people in the UK, our age and generation network is an important one for us to connect on. The purpose of the network is to create an open dialogue with colleagues around how we can create and nurture a positive working environment for all ages through intergenerational collaboration and awareness.
Our Women’s Network connects colleagues to share experiences, grow their careers, and champion gender equality. We host lunch-and-learns, mentoring, and networking events to support personal development and build an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
This colleague resource group aims to create the space for colleagues to connect and share their experiences, to work closely with the business to share feedback and shape change by strengthening the voice of our colleagues.
Our colleague resource groups allow our colleagues to come together, engage in open conversations and build a community of support and understanding. Our Pride Cafe’s are a great opportunity to share experiences and build connections with other colleagues.
We’re also delighted to have been independently accredited by Henpicked as a Menopause Friendly Employer. Our Menopause Matters support group is a community where we share our lived experiences and knowledge. We host our own Menopause cafes, events and colleague stories, and we’re really proud of all the great work we’ve done in this space.
