What does this mean to us?
To build a diverse and inclusive workforce
Valuing difference and better representing the customers and communities that we serve. We’re focussed on building a culture with inclusion everywhere – every team, every level, everywhere. A Zenith that celebrates diversity, embraces everybody’s unique self, and promotes awareness so we can better support one another, as we navigate both our work, and personal lives.
To provide colleagues with development to be the best they can be
Our people are pretty incredible: they’re bold, agile, driven, honest, innovative, passionate, and proud humans. And they deserve the very best environment and support to be, well… Incredible.
That’s why we’re on a mission to ensure development opportunities are available to all colleagues to support lifelong learning – providing the resources they need to strengthen their skills, improve their knowledge, and develop their confidence. And the impact continues when the workday ends – for them, their families and our communities.
To deliver a safe and healthy workplace, free from exploitation and discrimination
Culture sits at the heart of our business, and we believe that mental and physical wellbeing are equally important. Creating a psychological and psychically safe environment, alongside a clear sense of purpose enables our colleagues to be at their best.
Our ways of working and benefits seek to set the standards for all our people which is brought to life by inspiring and compassionate leaders.

Stuart Price, Chief People Officer
“At the heart of Zenith is our thriving culture. We want to create an environment where every colleague can be the best version of themselves.
“Our ‘People Promise’ underpins everything we do. Whether it’s the continual investment into the development of our colleagues, ensuring people feel valued, or driving our ambitious ED&I approach to reflect the customers and communities we serve, this framework sets out what people can expect from us and what we can expect from them.”
CASE STUDY: OUR EQUITY DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION STRATEGY
We commenced our ED&I programme in 2021. In just a short space of time, we’ve set up six voluntary colleague-led Focus Groups delivering regular events – from guest speakers for Black History Month to team challenges to mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’ve had a jam packed few years. We can’t thank our ED&I members enough for making a real difference to life at Zenith. Every. Single. Day.
