A culture of inclusion

Inclusion is more than just about bringing diverse groups of people together. We continue to build a culture of unity and togetherness where everyone feels valued and respected. An environment where all can flourish and work together without barriers.

At AFH we have a diverse range of colleagues and clients and we expect all our people to treat others with kindness. The inclusiveness of our culture means that the colleagues they work with is the top reason that our employees enjoy working at AFH.

AFH is a very diverse business, with people from all backgrounds, there is a real sense of togetherness and unity. We are one big family! As part of my role, I collaborate with many teams daily and everyone I have met is friendly, approachable and supportive. The great people we have here really care about each other and the results we deliver. In turn, this makes it a great place to work, and ensures we get the best out of each other, which benefits our clients

Diwali Activity

Embracing religious festivals

We welcome the celebration of all religious festivals and encourage our people to join in where possible.

In 2024 we celebrated Diwali. We collaborated with a local Indian takeaway who provided a banquet of authentic dishes. Together, we shared in the joy of savouring these flavourful and culturally-rich foods, while also recognising and celebrating the festival of Diwali.

This gave colleagues in our head office the opportunity to come together and enjoy some tasty food whilst learning something new about another culture’s celebrations.

We support our employees

As a Disability Confident Committed employer, we have committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible for all. Those with a disability or long-term health condition will be provided with the support they need, enabling them to stay in work throughout their career with us.

We’re also committed to supporting our employees at every stage of their career. That’s why we have signed up to the Menopause Workplace Pledge. Women’s health matters, and Menopause isn’t often talked about at work, but it’s where people can find their symptoms most difficult to manage. By making our workplace supportive when it comes to the menopause, we can help our employees' wellbeing, ensuring an inclusive workforce, and an increase in our productivity. Everyone benefits!
