Walkers Commits To Jersey IoD Diversity And Inclusion 2020 Vision Statement

Walkers' Jersey office has signed a statement of support for the Jersey Institute of Directors Jersey Diversity and Inclusion 2020 Vision Statement, signalling its intention to collaborate with and support IOD Jersey in creating a Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Charter, to encourage and underpin tangible diversity and inclusion (D&I) action.

The firm has recently established a Channel Islands Diversity and Inclusion Committee chaired by partner Alexandra Corner, who also sits on the firm's Global D&I Committee along with representatives from the firm's Asian, Caribbean and European offices.

One of the local committee's first acts was to arrange unconscious bias training for all of Walkers' employees in Jersey and Guernsey – the sessions will be led by senior counsel Sarah Ash, who is a specialist in discrimination law issues in the firm's Guernsey Employment Law Practice Group.
