Belonging

Our aim is to foster a culture of respect for one another in which everyone feels they belong and has the same opportunities to progress in their careers.


At WPP, we believe a sense of belonging is essential for driving creativity, innovation and growth. We strive to create workplaces where everyone feels valued and empowered to be themselves, ensuring that every person has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to our collective success.

We are continuously working to improve our workplace culture. To do this, we:

  • Invest in our people: We are committed to developing our people through initiatives that provide opportunities for learning and growth, with a focus on future-facing skills, leadership development and belonging. These programmes ensure that our colleagues are equipped with the skills needed to excel in a diverse and dynamic workplace.
  • Create inclusive work environments: We are dedicated to building workplaces where everyone feels they belong. This involves fostering a culture of respect, collaboration and innovation, supported by our state-of-the-art campuses that are designed to bring people together. We believe that by creating spaces where everyone can thrive, we unlock the full potential of our people and our business. And we believe that a workforce that reflects the world around us, and the consumers our clients want to reach, helps us do the best work.

 

Employee communities

We have diverse and vibrant employee communities – spaces created by passionate individuals across WPP so they can come together to support and celebrate one another, and make a difference within WPP and across our industry. These communities are open to all.
