Disability

We’re committed to ensuring that if you have a disability, mental health or neurodiverse condition you can achieve your full potential here, by providing the equipment and adjustments that will enable you to thrive.

“To me, disability is not in our body, but in our minds. With enough courage and support, we can turn our challenges into opportunities. Know that you are not alone.”

LGBTQ+

We’re committed to championing equality, understanding, respect and inclusivity for customers, clients and colleagues across the broad spectrum of diversity, including sexuality and gender identity.

“I’m a transgender woman and in previous organisations, I faced hurtful words and people who saw me as if I wasn’t human. Barclays is different. They gave me leave to go through my surgery, sorted out the insurance, and have always been there to help me.”

Multicultural

We’re committed to being a trusted ally in the pursuit of racial justice, and to help overcome inequity across the communities in which we live and work.

“My relationship with my Hindu faith and culture helped me throughout my career. And I really believe that the more we talk about different cultures and backgrounds, the more inclusive we can be.”

Socio-economic

We’re committed to pioneering the development and progression of lower socio-economic diversity in the workplace.

“I entered into my career with a severe degree of imposter syndrome, probably derived from the face that I hadn’t graduated from a quote “target school” But after a few weeks, that anxiety quickly evaporated.”

Nina Magnotta, New York
