Blis’ diversity, inclusion & belonging initiative

Diversity

What is Rise?

In June 2020, Blis launched its diversity and inclusion committee called Rise, with a mission to create a powerful culture of inclusivity and belonging at Blis that:

  • Embraces diversity
  • Encourages people to bring their authentic selves to work
  • Educates everyone at Blis about matters of equality
  • Engages with the wider industry community to drive social change

What has Rise accomplished since its inception?

Employee training and education

All employee training and education on matters including allyship, DIB language and celebrating and honouring cultural and religious observances take place during our weekly company meetings and at internal events.

We are truly inclusive and diverse - and that's not just our opinion

Following a review by the independent research company, Work Research Group, Blis was recognised as one of Campaign’s ‘Best Places to Work’ for two consecutive years (2021 and 2022). In December 2022, Blis was also nominated as an Inclusive Workplace by Best Companies Group and COLOR Magazine, being recognised as a workplace where people feel heard, seen and as they belong.

Let’s talk about

Every six weeks we meet and talk about challenges uniquely or predominantly faced by women in the workplace. Topics we’ve covered include:

  • Imposter syndrome
  • Bravery vs perfection
  • Vulnerability  
  • Fake it till you become it
  • Ten ways to have a better conversation
  • People pleasing
  • Getting out of your comfort zone.  

Our work have been featured in the IAB UK website, being recognised as an important initiative to support women in the workplace.

Diversity demographics

Blis is committed to balancing the transparency of its employee diversity stats alongside the right to privacy of its employees. Our current gender split is 44% female (121) and 56% male (155) across the company.
