Tesco Bank People Director: Diversity is not a competition

The virtues of hiring diverse employees are being extolled, with senior HR professionals weighing in on the importance of employing a socially diverse team.

Yesterday HR Grapevine reported on new research revealing that over half of American companies are offering their staff the opportunity to reveal their sexuality, should they wish to identify as LGBT.

Therese Procter, People Director at Tesco Bank commented on the issue of creating a secure work environment for those wishing to identify their sexuality.

“I believe every organisation should create an environment where everyone feels welcome and can be the best they can be,” she said.
