Banking group Lloyds has been named the most inclusive employer in Britain by Stonewall. The firm won the accolade after launching a new volunteering programme, forming official partnerships with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender charities. Lloyds also supported awareness days and social media campaigns as well as flying bisexual and transgender flags at 35 sites. Speaker John Bercow said: “It shows our commitment to providing a workplace where all our staff feel valued and supported. “Receiving a coveted place in the Stonewall top 100 sends a strong message about who we are as an organisation.”
