Diversity and inclusion

Our people support each other to deliver the best products and services to our clients, so we encourage everyone to build a wide network across the firm. Make a friend at the coffee counter. Speak up at that meeting. Say hi in the lift. Stand up for your colleagues. We look to recruit people who can foster this kind of inclusive, supportive environment. And when you join us, we will continue to support your personal development through our internal networks and membership of external networking organisations.

We've never been more focused on safeguarding the wellbeing of our colleagues both at home and at work. We recognise the importance of physical and mental health and are heavily invested in safeguarding and enhancing both, as our people navigate the challenges of today's ever-changing world. 

We're making Rothschild & Co a truly diverse organisation. The Ethnic Minorities Network (EMbrace) maintains an inclusive, welcoming environment for under-represented ethnicities, as well as attracting and retaining talent from ethnic minority backgrounds.

The Family Network supports our people to achieve a happy balance between their work and family lives. That might mean providing extra support during life transitions such as becoming a parent, or helping people from all kinds of family unit achieve their personal and professional goals.

Our LGBT network supports our leadership to create a work environment that empowers our LGBT+ colleagues to be their full selves and achieve their full potential.

Our Women's Network champions our female colleagues in all kinds of ways – from nurturing talent, to developing new business opportunities. We also run professional development programmes, such as informal connection sessions for junior and senior colleagues, and a Women in Leadership speaker series.
