Awards 2021: Championing the potential of our colleagues; a new approach to identifying diverse talent within NatWest Group

In 2020 the NatWest Group launched a new purpose: ‘We champion potential, helping people, families and businesses to thrive’. Creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace is integral to fulfilling this purpose. One strategy to embed this was creating a new Talent Academy for their highest potential employees (c5%), with an explicit objective of building a more diverse talent pipeline.
