Diversity and Inclusion
Barclays Capital recognises the importance of attracting, retaining, and developing diverse world-class professionals. We identify, foster and reward all talent, valuing and leveraging the diversity amongst our people to offer our clients creative and innovative solutions.
Working to embed diversity in all areas, we strive to:
- Build a workforce that reflects the communities in which we live and work so we are best able to understand our clients’ needs
- Ensure that the unique talents of each employee are fully utilised, and that all job applicants, employees and clients are treated equally regardless of race, religion or belief, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality or gender identity.
- Cultivate a working environment that encourages dignity and respect, where all employees feel they can fully contribute to the growth and success of the firm without experiencing harassment or discrimination
- Enhance our ability to attract and retain clients and employees by leveraging our reputation for fairness, transparency, integrity and consistent delivery of best-in-class solutions and services.
- Diversity is a business imperative; by embedding diversity into all aspects of our culture we maximise the opportunity to achieve continued business growth and success.
“If we are seeking to be a truly international firm, with a diverse client base, then we need to configure ourselves to look a lot like the people we are serving. The only way we can compete for and retain the best talent in the industry, around the world, is to have a culture that can attract and retain people from all kinds of backgrounds. Our focus on diversity is important not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s good business.”
- Bob Diamond, President of Barclays PLC and CEO of Corporate and Investment Banking, and Wealth Management
