We're a company with over 16,000 employees across the UK, and when it comes to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we go all in. We're committed to creating teams that reflect the customers we serve, which is why our All In DE&I strategy is for our people and our customers, and puts equity front and centre. This is reflected through our employee networks, which include supporting gender equality and our LGBTQIA+, Carers, Neurodiverse, Global Majority and Disability communities.
Our All In and DE&I approach encourages allyship, which is why we hold AllyUp workshops for our employees so they can learn and gain insights and tools to support their colleagues. Each of our employee networks are sponsored by a member of our Executive Team so that conversations, events and initiatives have the support and true understanding from our teams.
We're brave. We're real and we strive on what we can do together.
Our Proudly network puts the needs of our LGBTQIA+ employees front and centre at Virgin Media O2. They’ve been fundamental voices in making sure our benefits reflect the needs of all our employees such as the inclusion of trans healthcare, as well as making sure we stand out loud and proud at events such as Pride across the nation and UK Black Pride in London.
For Proudly, supporting the LGBTQIA+ community at Virgin Media O2 is about more than just a day or a month, it’s about staying connected throughout the year. They play a big part in producing podcasts and holding frequent “drop in” sessions for employees to engage and support each other on real-time topics and events within the community.
We have three little words (Brave, Real, Together) that make a big impact on how we show up for each other. They represent how we believe in leaning into challenge, transparency and high-performing team play.
We also know our values are just as important outside the office as they are inside. This is why we make sure these are reflected in our market-leading benefits package. This includes:
Virgin Media O2 is one of the biggest companies in the UK that provides our customers with connections they can rely on. And it’s all powered by our people.
Our employees are the ones who bring to life those “what if” ideas. They use data-driven decisions to push forward a service that’s making our customers’ lives easier, without them even knowing. They’re expanding and tightening up our networks across the nation so homes, schools and more can have their own “a-ha” moments. And they’re making sure that when we sell our products, our customers know exactly why our services are right for them.
