As an employer, we value diversity, encourage inclusion and support staff wellbeing.

• Diverse Workforce
• Inclusive Workspaces
• Chartership Signatories

We’re committed to improving our environmental performance. We’ve developed a ‘Greener Bank’ programme that’s supported by a staff network of over 150 ‘green champions’. Our approach includes:

• Changing how we produce and recycle our banknotes
• Using a 100% renewable energy supply (electricity and gas) for all our sites
• Making changes to make our buildings more energy efficient, such as switching to LED lighting
• Supporting biodiversity at our sites, including introducing beehives.
• Continuing more environmentally friendly business practices like holding virtual meetings to reduce travel and using less paper
• Encouraging our staff to use reusable cups and food containers

The wellbeing of our staff is important to us

We provide a wide range of services, benefits and initiatives to support staff with their mental, physical, social wellbeing and financial wellbeing. This includes:

• A network of Wellbeing Champions, Peer Supporters and Mental Health First Aiders
• Seminars to help support wellbeing and good work-life balance
• Practical advice and support through our employee assistance programme
• In-house counsellors
• Discounted gym memberships

Many people who work at the Bank of England choose to support the charitable causes they care about by fundraising and volunteering. We support them to do this by offering volunteering leave and by matching the funds that our colleagues raise.

• Supporting individual charities
• Local community partnerships
• Student & young person mentoring
