Through our commitment to being a responsible business, we aim to provide our colleagues with value-add engagement opportunities. Utilising our collective time, skills, knowledge and resources to make a positive and lasting difference, addressing societal issues identified at a micro level.
Activities that support financial literacy or mental health are key overarching Group-wide themes for our investment support, but we also conduct research to identify the most pressing issues at a local level.
Programmes that aid social mobility and provide access to quality educational opportunities are key to helping us eliminate any unfair advantages. We positively support society and look to create a more socio-economically diverse workforce. We currently have one formal school partnership in operation, but will shortly announce further school collaborations across 2021. This activity is even more important due to the ongoing and lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with missed education and our desire to help rebuild society.
We work with many schools through our volunteering programme and in support of literacy and financial literacy education and access to the workplace. We also welcome pupils of school-leaving age to apply for a range of careers at Phoenix
