About the Awards Diversity and inclusion is not a corporate catchphrase but an organisational imperative in today s workplace. 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. The Diversity in Finance Awards 2019 have been designed to celebrate individuals and companies who are proven to be taking active steps towards a more inclusive, diverse and fair industry. Awards will be given to those individuals who have demonstrated their support for minority groups and their tireless efforts to promote and inspire those who are otherwise under-represented, as well as recognising companies whose policies, schemes or initiatives encourage and enable diversity in the workplace. This is an opportunity for companies to show how they are getting it right, and for employees to gain the recognition they deserve. Winners will be announced at an exclusive black-tie dinner and presentation ceremony on June 20th 2019 at The Townhouse, Searcy s Knightsbridge.
