BaxterStorey receives inclusivity accolade

BaxterStorey has been named the highest scoring accommodation and food services business on the Inclusive Employers Standard, achieving silver status. To gain the accreditation, the company was required to provide a detailed overview of its activities within an inclusion framework. This submission was then assessed against evidence-based criteria. 

The caterer’s report highlighted a shift from ‘reasonable adjustments’ to more proactive ‘workplace adjustments’; shared accountability for inclusion at all leadership levels; and demonstrated a thoughtful, data-driven approach to employee engagement and diversity monitoring. It was also recognised for its drive to deepen understanding and expertise around inclusion, including a “proactive approach to sharing inclusion work with clients and collaborating with them on their own initiatives”. 

'A huge milestone'
Lyndsey Oliver, head of EDI for BaxterStorey, said: “We're on a mission to be the most inclusive workplace culture in hospitality and we’re thrilled to be awarded silver status. It is a huge milestone for us as we continue our equality, diversity and inclusion journey.  

“When our teams feel respected and valued, they thrive – and that energy shapes the great hospitality experiences we deliver. We’ll keep asking tough questions, encouraging curiosity and pushing for progress, because we all share the responsibility to lead and champion positive change in our industry.”
