Diversity

If we wanted the same ideas, we’d hire the same people

Increasing the performance of a business is all about being able to make the most of people’s experiences and perspectives. Here at Barclays hiring different people who help us think differently is fundamental to our success. Solutions can come from any corner of the organisation, from any level, from any person. And the more we ensure our workforce is trained, developed and diverse, the stronger our business will become.

Our customers are diverse too and we want our future leaders to be just as diverse so that they can help us design and deliver the types of services and products that will really make lives easier for our customers. And our roles are diverse. Whether you’re implementing contactless technology, running our sustainability programmes or helping customers make the most of their finances you will know you are making a difference – to our organisation and to our communities.

We’ve got diversity networks to keep you connected, development programmes to keep you learning, and global opportunities to keep you progressing. All of this is part of the reason we’ve been named in the Top Employers rankings by Working Families, Stonewall, the Employers Forum on Disability and The Times for Places Women Want to Work.
