_

The IWFM Diversity Initiative award is one of the most significant in the UK facilities management sector. Winning recognises and commends several initiatives that Atalian Servest have introduced in the last 18 months; CHROMA, Opportunity and ONE.

CHROMA is a colleague-led Diversity & Inclusion platform, comprising three networks; LGBTQ, Physical & Mental Health and Race, Ethnicity & Faith networks. The aim of the networks, which are supported by UK & Ireland board sponsors, is to champion inclusiveness,improve company policies and governance, and empower all colleagues to use their voices for proactive change.

An opportunity was created with one core purpose - to provide accessible and equal learning opportunities for all of our colleagues. The interactive Learner Experience Platform aims to develop our colleagues as independent, confident, and successful individuals.

Lastly, ONE is the Atalian Servest innovation challenge. Open to our 28,000-strong workforce, designed to encourage our colleagues to think outside of the box, allowing us to foster a culture of innovation and divergent thinking.

The driving force behind the Atalian Servest mission is to create social value every day, leaving a lasting impact in the communities in which we serve.
