A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE TEAM
We want Müller UK & Ireland to represent our consumers, so we’re setting out fresh targets which will ensure our business truly reflects the diversity and inclusivity of the communities where we operate. Through our learning and development platform, we’re upskilling our people and leaders across the business on topics such as unconscious bias and engagement, to better create connections for our teams to thrive.
Meanwhile, our Women in Müller network is inspiring women in our company to be their best selves, and our partnership with GroceryAid, a registered benevolent society for people in the UK, supports learning and best practice which drives our inclusive culture. We also hold regular focus groups and surveys to get valuable feedback from our people at Müller, to ensure we’re going above and beyond in meeting their needs.
