Mission statement
The Embrace network exists to celebrate and encourage diversity within the Shoosmiths community and to help foster an inclusive and diverse culture. Through education and openness, the network provides a voice to all employees and encourages understanding and engagement across the firm.
The Embrace network supports...
Education – through sharing stories, reinforcing the importance of culture and fostering an understanding of why diversity matters at Shoosmiths.
Mentoring – opportunities to share experiences, strengthen connections and provide guidance and support.
Branching out – not just internally but externally too. As a network we recognise that we can help promote diversity and inclusion within Shoosmiths and in the legal sector.
Representation – encourage greater representation of minority groups.
A safe and supportive space – we want to make it easier for colleagues, especially our network members, to speak up about the challenges they may face because of their race, ethnicity or culture and seek workable solutions where processes and practices need to be improved.
Collaboration – inform and help to shape action taken by Shoosmiths’ senior leaders, as well as colleagues across the firm, in support of the network.
Encourage – provide visibility to members of the network, enabling them to be themselves at work, develop in a supportive environment and ultimately succeed.
