Diversity and Inclusion

Join our Talent Community
We’re inspired by the possibilities that come from working together and embracing difference.

From seeking diversity in recruitment, to nurturing our existing talent – we want to make sure that Sopra Steria is an organisation where everyone feels like they belong. Where their uniqueness is valued. Where they can be themselves. And where everyone has a fair chance to progress and reach their highest potential.
This commitment is reflected in our Great Place to Work® UK survey results, where we scored over 80% favourable in all the fair treatment questions, and by our Disability Confident Level 2 status, where we're committed to offering an interview to any candidate with a disability who meets the minimum criteria for the role. All our job adverts can be found in an accessible format on our VERCIDA profile – a platform which connects jobseekers with employers that prioritise diversity, inclusion and wellbeing.

Diversity & Inclusion Vision
Diversity and Inclusion at Sopra Steria means celebrating real people, doing good for people and doing right by people. It means valuing difference, working with empathy, engaging with our communities and respecting each other. It means believing, together, we can shape our world for the better.
Our growing family of employee inclusion networks are working together to influence and support our efforts to become a more diverse and inclusive organisation.
The networks are only one part of our Diversity & Inclusion story. We also invest in other ways.

Here’s how:
Recruitment team gathered around
We welcome
We’ve created a suite of tools to help our recruitment teams and managers reinforce a more inclusive hiring culture and to redress the balance in our organisation.

We pledge
Zero tolerance. All employees are called upon to work together to stamp out bullying, offensive and insensitive behaviour in our workplace, of all shapes and forms.

We communicate
Our regular D&I updates provide a round-up of news about recent events and initiatives.

We develop
As well as training all managers on unconscious bias, we partner with leading specialists to make sure our recruitment and career development processes and practices are inclusive and diverse.

We learn
 
Our ‘In My Shoes’ initiative involved gathering stories from people in under-represented groups in the business. The programme aimed to share workplace experiences and help everyone feel comfortable to be themselves.

We mentor
We guarantee that anyone who applies to have a mentor on our female mentoring programme will have one. We have also introduced a new programme to offer support specifically to Black and Ethnic Minority employees.
We celebrate
Our employee inclusion networks hold frequent events to raise awareness, have fun and to support each other. From International Women’s Day events to Disability Awareness and LGBTQIA+ Pride Lunch and Learns, and from Race at Work discussions to World Religion Day and more, we embrace the rich diversity that makes up our unique organisation.
