Our commitment

Grainger plc is committed to ensuring our workforce is reflective of society and our customer base, delivering a working environment where everyone can be themselves, and providing the best customer service.

Our initiatives

We have a majority female workforce. Our female leaders programme is developing our future Executive pipeline and we are recognised by the Hampton-Alexander Review as a leader in our sector. 

We enjoy celebrating the diverse backgrounds of our employees and our residents in our workplaces and our buildings, through a calendar of cultural awareness days. We currently have 12.5% representation of employees from black and minority ethnic backgrounds and are committed to increasing this.

Opening up access to our profession to people from all backgrounds is a priority and we work with a number of schools to give young people insight into careers in property. Grainger offers apprenticeships and a graduate scheme and we work with our supply chain partners to provide employment and skills opportunities.

Supporting our employees

We are committed to developing and retaining our staff. Our Grainger Academy and other learning and developing opportunities are open to all employees. We operate an inclusive and transparent culture, encouraging staff to report any incidents of discrimination in alignment with our Harassment Policy and offer a confidential whistleblowing mechanism.

We take care to look after the wellbeing of our employees and provide a range of benefits to support staff including a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme and mental health champions network.

Graduate programme

We have a strong track record of developing our graduates. Our graduate programme offers the opportunity to gain experience across different areas of the business with the support of our talented team, and ongoing mentoring by industry experts.
