Supporting our people to develop their potential

At King’s, how we work and interact with others is as important as what we achieve.

We actively cultivate an inclusive and welcoming community where all feel they belong and are respected. We are committed to amplifying the staff voice and enabling career progression. And, most of all, we continue to develop a positive workplace culture that supports everyone to perform at their best.

To support our staff to thrive, we are:

• continuing to build a strong, inclusive culture where everyone feels included and able to contribute
• improving LGBTQ+ inclusion
• supporting disabled staff, neurodiverse staff, and those with long-term health conditions and mental health and wellbeing needs
• further accelerating our ambitious plans for gender equality through our Athena SWAN proposals and for race equality through our Race Equality Charter
• supporting our staff to perform at their best through policies and management practices that recognise their whole selves
• enabling flexible working for all staff wherever we can
• empowering our staff to build their chosen careers at King’s and beyond
• investing in leadership programmes to build capabilities and to role-model positive behaviour
• measuring, reporting on, and improving staff engagement and satisfaction
• actively promoting our principles so that all King’s staff are aware of the appropriate and inclusive behaviour expected of them.

Developed alongside our staff community, these set out how we can get the most out of our work and interactions with others.
