Financial Adviser Diversity in Finance Awards 2019 | FTAdviser | 1 March 2019 | Bracken House, 1 Friday St, London EC4M 9BT, UK

Diversity and inclusion is not a corporate catchphrase but an organisational imperative in today's workplace. Our society is rich and diverse, bursting with entrepreneurial talent from a wide pool of people from all backgrounds. It is clear that diversity and inclusion in the workplace leads to increased innovation, better opportunities for all and improved business performance, while companies that fail to capture and nurture this talent are missing out on opportunities to enhance their business model.

To help celebrate those companies in the financial services industry who are striving to make their workforce more diverse and inclusive, and therefore better able to serve the needs of our modern society, Financial Adviser has developed these inaugural awards.

The awards will look at those individuals who have demonstrated their support for minority groups and promoted and inspired those who are otherwise under-represented, as well as recognising companies whose policies, schemes or initiatives encourage and enable diversity in the workplace.
