Direct Line Group has today been ranked number 13 in The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List 2021/22, a definitive list of UK based organisations that promote inclusion across a wide range of areas, throughout each level of employment. Now in its sixth year, the list has become the premier cross industry index harnessing best practice and innovation to drive inclusion for all.

Paul Sesay, CEO and Founder of The Inclusive Top 50 Employers said,

“More employers have seen their people step forward to be heard and contribute to their inclusion agenda like never before, with inclusive leadership leading at the forefront and prompting employers to examine their shortcomings internally. Companies featured on this year’s list have felt the importance of ensuring individual voices are heard and standing up as responsible employers against inequality, injustice and intolerance.”

Direct Line Group’s vision is a world where insurance is personal, inclusive and a force for good. Working with their Diversity Network Alliance (DNA) which is run by people from around the business who champion diversity and inclusion, the Group have developed a strategy to build a more diverse and inclusive business –  and develop a culture that celebrates difference and authenticity. The Group has developed and delivered a number of high impact initiatives to make a difference for its people and the community.

Vicky Wallis, Chief People Officer at Direct Line Group commented,

“We’re incredibly proud of coming 13th in the Inclusive Companies Top 50 UK Employers List for 2021/22. It’s tribute to the efforts of so many of our people to build a more diverse and inclusive business.
