John believes all women are supported in the work environment, and one of the first things he did as CEO of the Americas was to sign RES up to the Business Coalition for the Equality Act. He has supported the LGBT+ network in implementing the gender affirmation policy and creating a workplace ally guidance document. On his leadership team, he has increased diversity from one female to three within his first nine months of work. This Pride Month, the company’s Americas head office is attending Denver Pride for the first time and has arranged for trans speakers in the UK and Australian head office. Globally the firm is also reviewing its HR processes, including recruitment and career progression, to ensure there are no barriers to advancement for those from underrepresented groups, including women and non-binary people. John advocates for DEI by joining panels and organizations and by speaking publicly about DEI to try and influence everyone to do more.
