Diversity
The Pensions Regulator is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in its role as an employer, its approach to regulation and in ensuring quality outcomes for the saver. EDI is integral to our organisation, and we believe it supports innovation and creativity through the representation of a range of perspectives and challenging groupthink. TPR also recognises the importance of an inclusive culture where people feel safe, supported and have a sense of belonging in order to actively contribute and thrive. Our approach to EDI leads to better decision making and policy outcomes, helping us to achieve our objectives.
The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has signalled how it plans to lead by example to create a fairer and more inclusive culture across the pensions industry and work with others to address inequality among savers.
Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, which has been developed in discussion with organisations across the pensions industry, sets out how TPR will embed diversity and inclusion throughout its organisation and how it will support its regulated community to do the same.
The strategy sets out a roadmap to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of TPR’s work as a regulatory body. It sets targets which will ensure TPR meets the aims of the strategy which are:
- to be a fair, diverse and inclusive employer
- to build a collective understanding of why pensions inequalities occur and work in partnership with others seeking to reduce them.
- to promote higher standards of equality, diversity and inclusion among TPR’s regulated community.
Testimonials
“Now more than ever, organisations and employers are being called on to take the lead in bringing about a fairer and more inclusive society.
Through our strategy, we are clear on our ambition for positive and lasting change across our own organisation, and the industry we regulate, to drive down inequality among savers.
The status quo is not acceptable, and it is crucial we continue to challenge ourselves so that diversity and inclusion are not simply seen as desirable but that they are embedded across everything we do.
We also look to the pensions industry to work with us and work together to bring real improvements in diversity in relation to decision making across the sector. We know that this will improve the quality of decisions and it will mean that Trustee Boards better reflect the diversity among savers.”
TPR’s Chair | Sarah Smart
“We want to make workplace pensions work for all savers. As a regulator, this means making sure diverse thinking and constructive challenge runs through the industry and a commitment to work in partnership with others to mitigate inequality in the pensions system.
As an employer, it means giving everyone a fair shot, valuing and supporting colleagues for what they bring to the table, and using our collective talents in the best way possible so that we can all truly deliver for pension savers.”
