OneFamily
OneFamily colleague, Matthew Draper, was recently interviewed by industry publication, Health & Protection. Here's what he had to say about his experience at OneFamily.
Discussing his experience of working at OneFamily, Matthew said, “I’ve been at OneFamily for almost 13 years, and I’m really lucky to have had such a positive experience. The business truly values and appreciates people from all different walks of life.”
“We’re all encouraged to bring our true selves to work every day. It’s great to work with other LGBTQ+ people, including trans and non-binary colleagues, and be free to be ourselves.”
Speaking about the gradual change in attitudes across the financial sector, Matthew highlighted how spaces like Proudly, our LGBTQ+ network, provide a sense of community and a safe space for people to truly be themselves.
“I’ve loved seeing how much the network has grown,” Matthew said about Proudly.
“This year we have more people getting involved than ever before, coming along to events and finding ways to make a difference inside the business and in our local community too.”
Investing in our colleagues and creating an inclusive, diverse workplace forms a key part of our Inspiring Better Futures vision.
Matthew highlighted this perfectly:
"At OneFamily, there’s a real emphasis on celebrating people’s authentic selves. It doesn’t matter who you are or who you love, people here genuinely want to see the real you."
He continued, “And with that comes a range of experience and unique insight that makes you a different performer to someone else in your role, which in turn makes our teams stronger.”
