Embrace employee resource group

How we champion a diverse, inclusive workplace

Embrace is a self-started employee resource group (ERG) that provides a community for ethnic minority colleagues and allies at AtkinsRéalis. Embrace seeks to better understand the challenges affecting ethnic minority employees, to enable discussion around their lived experiences, the challenges faced and ideas around solutions in a supportive environment. The network welcomes any employee who wants to shape a more inclusive work culture.

"To me, Embrace is all about celebrating our differences and positively impacting the business in representing our ethnic minority community."
—Ramona, Consultant

Empowering events

Embrace wants to engage with all colleagues and holds numerous internal events to educate around the cultures of our employees, highlight our many role models and to provide opportunities to discuss sensitive issues around race.

Embrace is also involved in many external events to broaden reach and help influence our wider society in a positive way. Embrace also supports other ERGs with similar goals.

Different makes a difference

Everything Embrace does aligns with our global ED&I program - Different Makes a Difference. So, at key forums such as our business roundtables, Embrace invites ethnic minority colleagues to candidly share their experiences and thoughts on sometimes challenging topics. These have included the work environment, team inclusivity, leadership, and organization policies. Thanks to discussions like these, Embrace supports and helps the organization gauge where we stand and what further changes need to be made to make ourselves a truly inclusive company.
