An inclusive and diverse workplace

Step into our offices and factories, and you'll feel the warmth. Our culture is built on camaraderie, respect, and open communication. We take pride in cultivating a sense of belonging where voices are heard, ideas are welcomed, and collaboration is second nature. Unique perspectives aren’t just appreciated — they’re essential to our collective success.

 

  • At Premier Foods, we believe that everyone should feel safe, valued, and empowered to be their true selves, because when people bring their whole selves to work, great things happen. That’s why we live by our mantra: #oktobeme where everyone is welcome, regardless of who they are, what they believe, or who they love. 

  • We know that authenticity and vulnerability are the foundations of a truly inclusive workplace. That’s why we’re committed to creating a culture where psychological safety isn’t just encouraged—it’s a given. Here, you’ll find a place where your voice matters, your background doesn’t define you, and your success is measured by your attributes and behaviours, not where you come from. 

  • But we don’t stop there. We are committed to young careers, established careers and new careers ensuring that opportunities at Premier Foods are open to everyone, no matter their background. We challenge outdated norms, remove barriers, and create pathways for talent to shine based on potential, not privilege. 

     

Our inclusion and diversity commitments

  • To create a psychologically safe work environment that promotes inclusion, dignity and respect for all.
  • To foster a work environment where individual differences and contributions are recognised.
  • To encourage colleagues to raise concerns if they feel they have been subject to discrimination.
  • To regularly review our employment practices and procedures so that inclusion & diversity is achieved.
  • To continually monitor our culture to ensure sustained commitment to inclusion and diversity.

 

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Our ERGs are open to all colleagues. They are active in contributing to our Inclusion and Diversity Strategy, reviewing policies, influencing our culture and helping to build allyship. They lead activities and communications across the business, both online and in person via events such as colleague roadshows.

  • Origins - Our Multicultural ERG

     

    We want to unleash the full potential of everyone in the organisation by creating a culture of inclusion and belonging – an environment where all ethnicities, religions and nationalities feel welcomed.

  • LGBTQIA+ ERG, known as #OKtobeproud

    Our purpose is to foster an inclusive environment for colleagues and allies regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Our work as an ERG aims to provide education, encourage more allies to step forward at all levels within the business and ultimately start conversations about what colleagues need to feel and be safe. Hosting events at our factories is a game changer as the invisible becoming visible - a powerful way of connecting with everyone.

  • Gender ERG

    The Gender ERG focuses on all genders, and so our remit covers events such as International Womens’ Day and International Mens’ Day but also identifying critical issues that may impact our colleagues and understanding how we can help the business to navigate these better. This includes creating spaces where colleagues can talk about their shared experiences to either seek advice or pass on their learnings, such as our menopause cafes.

  • Health and disability ERG, known as accessABLE

    Our ERG is a supportive community dedicated to fostering inclusivity, understanding, and advocacy for individuals living with health conditions and disabilities. We recognise that diversity in all its forms enriches our workplace, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and is given the right tools to allow them to thrive. We aim to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and promote a culture of empathy and accommodation.
