The forum is supported by an Executive Sponsor, Debra Gardner.
The Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) Forum is a voluntary, representative body of colleagues from the LSL Group. Looking to find new ways of working together that recognise, celebrate, and respect diversity, to help create a more inclusive culture; for the benefit of our business, our people and the communities we operate in.
Our priorities:
- To continue to support the development and delivery of Group HR inclusion and diversity training;
- To increase colleague engagement and awareness of our diversity; and
- To consult on updates and the introduction of colleague policies and processes, to ensure that they promote and support inclusion and diversity.
Our Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) Calendar:
The Inclusion and Diversity Forum has created a special I&D Calendar, with the support of the LSL Colleague Engagement Forum and LSL Communities Forum, to help us mark significant days and holidays for colleagues.
The calendar will be updated as more dates become known and is available here.

Congratulations Joanna
The Inclusion & Diversity Forum is delighted to announce the appointment of Joanna Purdy as our new Deputy Chair following an internal request for applications. Joanna has worked within LSL for nearly three years and is looking forward to working with fellow forum members and more collaboratively with colleagues to drive inclusion and diversity across the Group; drawing on her personal and professional experiences to do this.
We wish Joanna every success as she takes on this important role to help us recognise, celebrate and respect diversity within LSL – and create a more inclusive culture. Congratulations Joanna.
Joanna replaces Kam Toora who, after two years, decided to step down from the role yet will continue to play an active role as a forum member and Ambassador for the Cultural Voices Network. We thank Kam for all his hard work as Deputy Chair and for his ongoing commitment and contribution to the forum.
International Women’s Day
Recently LSL colleagues celebrated International Women’s Day. They were encouraged by the Inclusion & Diversity Forum (and our Gender Voices network) to support this year’s theme to Inspire Inclusion and there was also a great focus on the day by our financial services brand, PRIMIS. They interviewed some key women across the business and, amongst other questions, asked what inclusion means to them and how it feels to operate in such a male dominated industry. You can read the blog here.
Overall, the day provided a great opportunity for colleagues to share their thoughts on inclusion and for the forum to continue to create a more inclusive culture within the Group – where everyone can thrive.
Welcome to Elaenore
We are delighted to welcome our new Chair, Elaenore Fom, following an internal request for applications for the role.
Elaenore has been a very active member of the forum since its inception; contributing significantly to the forum’s discussion and more recently establishing herself as the Co-Chair of LSL Culture Voices, alongside fellow forum member, Kam Toora.
We offer Elaenore our sincere congratulations and wish her every success in this important and exciting role.
Elaenore commented: “'I am very honoured to pick up the baton and continue the hard work and commitment of our previous Chair and forum members. I look forward to working with the different parts of the business and making a positive impact.'
LSL Voices launch, with colleague webinar
The official launch of LSL Voices, our Colleague Networks, was celebrated recently with a special webinar that colleagues from across the Group attended.
Kevin Keane, the Chair of the Inclusion & Diversity Forum, highlighted how colleague conversations have already led to positive changes within LSL. It was also explained how LSL Voices will work and the benefits they are expected to bring; all helping us to build an inclusive culture where colleagues are supported to thrive.
A great event, with thought provoking conversation, and the anticipation of much more to come in the future.
Inclusion & Diversity Training
Members of the Inclusion & Diversity Forum have worked in close collaboration with the LSL HR Team to create some inspiring Inclusion & Diversity training modules with the help of a specialist training provider.
Colleagues are now actively using them to gain a better understanding of the importance of inclusion and diversity in the workplace – with more modules being released soon. It’s all part of our Living Responsibly Strategy to promote inclusion and diversity in our workforce
