Equality and diversity
All HMRC staff have been taking part in race equality workshops to understand colleagues’ lived experiences and to continue the conversation on race to influence and impact change. In CSG, we have set up a reverse mentoring scheme enabling colleagues to mentor and coach senior leaders based on their experiences. We are committed to providing opportunities for all to achieve. Stride is an award-winning mentoring and self-development scheme designed especially for people who identify themselves as coming from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
