Belonging at Bauer

Belonging at Bauer is our approach to diversity and inclusion and has two main goals:

  • To ensure we are as representative as we can be of the audiences we serve
  • To create a working environment where all our people feel able to bring their whole selves to work every day

It’s part of everything we do, and all of us at Bauer are responsible for creating a welcoming culture that we all want to work in.

We aim to level the playing field for those from under-represented groups, recognising that the support we provide will allow them to shine in the same way as their colleagues who sit in the ‘majority’ workplace demographic. Our Belonging at Bauer teams work hard to ensure this applies to everything, from recruitment to career progression, across five key pillars:

We’re also proud of the external commitments we make as we continue working to ensure our business is as representative of our UK audiences as possible, including being signatories of the BITC’s Race at Work Charter and the Social Mobility Pledge.

We’re proud to share that Bauer Media UK is now officially recognised as a Disability Confident Committed Employer (Level 1). This important accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone – including colleagues with disabilities – feels supported, valued, and empowered.

  • As part of this, we will now proudly display the Disability Confident logo across our communications materials
  • Continually evaluating our people processing’s to allow people to be their best selves
  • To champion diversity, equity, and inclusion – for our colleagues, clients, and audiences alike

Our Group Enable team, have been instrumental in driving this forward, raising awareness and delivering education around disability inclusion across the business.

In line with our commitments, we’ve recently:

  • Introduced image descriptions across our content to improve accessibility
  • Delivered a Deaf Awareness session including sign language – with such great feedback that we’ll be rolling out more in-person sessions for all colleagues soon!

We’re also now proud members of the Business Disability Forum, opening up even more tools and resources to help us build a more accessible and inclusive Bauer.

This is just the beginning – thank you to everyone involved in helping us take these important steps.
