Diversity & Inclusion
Here at Lithia UK, we are proud to celebrate, educate and continually improve our workplace environment for the benefit of all colleagues.
Everyone’s contribution matters because growth is powered by people. We want colleagues to love what they do and to have fun, because we want them to thrive and grow with the company.
It’s important to us that everyone takes personal ownership for how they show up and behave because all colleagues deserve to feel a sense of belonging.
Our Inclusion Steering Committee, which is open to everyone, meet on a quarterly basis to ensure that this passion translates into action. They drive positive change, review the objectives of our DEI strategy and listen to the feedback our colleagues share with us.
The steering committee works in partnership with our colleague network groups to make sure that change is delivered by colleagues, for colleagues.
Our networks are for all colleagues. They are inclusive not exclusive; offering connection, opportunities for discussion, education and support with a collective mission to make everyone feel at home. Whether you are a member of any specific community group or a keen ally, our networks are here for you.
