reWorked: the Workplace Inclusion Podcast

A seismic shift has taken place in the world of work. Workplace culture continues to adapt and respond – as it always has done – to the wider world. Covid turned our working lives upside down; Black Lives Matter and the #MeToo movement challenged and changed our expectations of what a responsible and inclusive business looks and feels like. Society, culture and work now overlap in ways we have not seen before. The reWorked podcast provides a space to explore how business can respond to this complex, and sometimes contested, landscape. We speak to leading thinkers and doers about their ideas for what an inclusive workplace looks like in 2023. Listen below and on all your usual podcast platforms.

Series 2, Episode 13: Raising diversity and inclusion standards in financial services with Anthony Francis

August 06, 2019 • EW Group

This week Rachael speaks to Anthony Francis, Agile Delivery Lead and Transformation Manager for Lloyds Bank.

Lloyds Bank is considered one of the “Big Four” banks in the UK. Operating since 1765, Lloyds employs more than 45,000 staff across England and Wales. Despite being a traditional bank, the bank actively pursues a diversity and inclusion agenda in the workplace.

Anthony works as Transformation Manager and in a voluntary capacity, he is the bank’s role model and intersectionality lead, empowering the work of Lloyds’ network groups for women, LGBT, ethnicity and disability. He features in The Financial Times’ Top 50 BAME Future Leaders. In this episode of reWorked, Rachael and Anthony discuss the bank’s agile and intersectional approach to diversity and inclusion and how Lloyds is raising the standards of D&I for all workplaces.
