The Belonging collective
We have five awesome Belonging networks, who are each supported by a member of our Executive Committee as an ally. They also have the full backing of senior sponsors from our leadership teams.
In the spirit of true team play, the Belonging Collective networks are open to everyone. If you want to become an active ally, a member that helps plan events, or you simply want to learn more and show your support, there is something for everyone.
The Belonging Board
Our allies, senior sponsors, key stakeholders and Network Leads meet once a month to share experiences and drive our Belonging strategy forward. We review what the business is doing and discuss new initiatives, all geared towards ensuring that we are developing a true sense of Belonging.
