Our employee-led Affinity Networks and Support Groups

At Balfour Beatty we view diversity, equity and inclusion in its broadest sense – recognising that everyone brings different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and challenges. That’s why we’re committed to supporting all our people to achieve their full potential, while fostering an inclusive workplace that embraces diversity and drives meaningful change.

To help build understanding across all areas of diversity, equity and inclusion, we have a range of Affinity and Allies Networks and specialist groups, in the UK and US and employee-led networks in Hong Kong. These groups help shape our action plans and promote a culture of collaboration, innovation, understanding and belonging.

Our UK Affinity and Allies Networks are:

  • LGBTQ+
  • Multi-cultural
  • Ability
  • Gender 
  • Neurodiversity 

In the UK, the following specialist groups support our employees throughout their life and career journeys:

 

  • Mulberry and Allies Network – supporting ex-armed forces in the business
  • Menopause
  • Domestic Abuse
  • Caring and parenting

In the US, our Affinity Groups are:

  • Building PRIDE
  • Connecting Women
  • Network of Black Leaders and Executives (NOBLE)

And in Hong Kong, our employee-led networks are:

These networks and support groups play a vital role in our journey to becoming a more inclusive and understanding business—one where every voice is valued, and everyone feels empowered to thrive in their careers.
