Diversity and Inclusion

We pride our commitment to ensuring a Diverse and Inclusive culture.

Inclusive Diversity and Equity is one of Allstate's core values and at Allstate NI our commitment to this starts at the top. Embracing our collective differences leads to a culture of inclusion and belonging, one where we create equitable opportunities for all, build a resilient workforce for the future and create positive change in the communities where we live, work and serve.

The Diversity Charter Mark

This charter recognises that organisations cannot reach their full potential unless they benefit from the rich variety of talents and abilities of all their employees. A balanced workforce is good for business - it is good for customers, for profitability and workplace culture.

The Diversity Charter Mark framework recognises our ability to identify and reflect on institutional barriers facing minorities & underrepresented genders that impact on their career progression. In addressing these barriers, we progress the overall diversity agenda.

Stonewall Workplace Equality

We believe in the power of a workplace that's truly inclusive. Workplaces where all LGBT employees are accepted without exception.

As a Diversity champion we believe in offering inclusive and inspiring environments for LGBT people, and to empower them as advocates and agents of change in wider society. We recognise the value of different perspectives and the benefits these bring to employees, service users and members of the community.

Our Employee Impact Groups include:

AllCare

AllCare is a careers Network for any Allstate NI employee who is a carer; adult care, elder care, child care, and all special needs. This network lends peer to peer support, and equally involves external organisations offering Carer support and advice.

Embrace

Embrace is an employee led initiative to promote an inclusive work environment for Allstate employees who are LGBTQ+ or those who are allies, supporting this community.

Ausome

Ausome is a group that aims to encourage companywide awareness of Autism Spectrum Awareness (ASD) and help employees openly discuss key concerns and issues, seek support from fellow colleagues and be sign-posted to available resources.

Disability Support Group

Allstate NI have a Disability Support Group who are committed to build a support group that every employee regardless of their dis-ABILITY can come together, to empower and support each other and learn from collective experiences. We also provide ergonomic equipment for our employees. Our offices have standing desks and trained members of the HR team conduct ergonomic assessments on request for specialist equipment.

Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health Problems affect 1 in 4 people, that's the equivalent of 500 of us here at Allstate Northern Ireland. Mental Health First Aid resources are a point of contact if our employees, or someone they are concerned about, are experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress. They are not therapists or psychiatrists but they can give initial support and signpost you to appropriate help if required.

Unity

Unity promotes awareness regarding ethnicity and drive procedural modifications that benefit both the company and the community. Focus is placed on highlighting the advantages of having an ethnically diverse workforce, showcasing the additional value it can bring to teams, product design, policy development, and more.

WITA

Women in Technology at Allstate (WITA) is focused on women helping each other in the industry, sharing their own unique experiences, and offering peer to peer support and mentorship. WITA represent a group of women with career experience and a passion for technology, and are advocated by Allstate NI males interested in helping to advance women in the industry.
