Leading UK facilities management company Mitie celebrated Diversity Week throughout the business at the end of September.

Over the week the company hosted a series of events, workshops, online training and keynote speeches across the UK and Ireland to celebrate the differences of its people and raise awareness and understanding of diversity and inclusion at work.

Karen Govier, group diversity and inclusion manager explained Mitie’s ongoing commitment to diversity: “We’re passionate about building a diverse and inclusive business. We’re focused on supporting and developing all of our people, irrespective of gender, age, race, faith, sexual orientation, disability or culture.

"Diversity Week is a chance to further raise awareness and understanding of what makes each person in Mitie unique; to celebrate our differences, that make our business so successful and a great place to work."

Highlights of the week included the launch of the company's own Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) network and a workshop by Mindwise - the mental health charity - at Mitec, Mitie's intelligent security hub, to discuss and develop good mental health practices in the workplace.
