Equality, diversity and inclusion

Wetherspoon is committed to equality of opportunity. We want to create and promote a diverse and inclusive working environment and eliminate any direct or indirect discrimination, harassment or victimisation of our employees, job applicants, customers and contractors. We strive to maintain a working environment, terms and conditions of employment and personnel and management practices which ensure that no individual receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of his/her/their age, disability, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity.

As well as the equal opportunities – equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policy, which includes antiharassment, the company also has the following specific policies to promote an inclusive, diverse and welcoming work environment:

• Antiharassment, antisexual harassment and antibullying

Network groups

Our network groups give employees the opportunity to come together in a safe space to discuss current topics and tackle challenges which they may be facing, along with a great way to socialise with colleagues.

The LGBTQIA+, Race and Ethnic Diversity, Disability, mental health and wellbeing and Women’s network groups are up and running.

All groups are aimed at promoting discussion around inclusion and generating ideas on how to provide additional support to those individuals applying to, or developing their careers at, Wetherspoon.

We encourage participation from employees at all levels, to allow conversations around issues such as career progression and support in the workplace.

The company has been recognised, by the Department for Work and Pensions, as an Age Positive and Disability Confident employer.
