  I am delighted to announce that Experian has been recognised by the Top Employers Institute as a Top Employer in the UK, Spain, Bulgaria and South Africa. The annual research programme recognises leading employers around the world. Organisations certified as Top Employers dedicate themselves to providing the very best working environment for employees through their progressive ‘people-first’ HR practices. Being recognised as a Top Employer four years in a row is a significant achievement for us, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our incredible workforce. By listening to our people and encouraging new ideas, they have continued to help us develop our working culture and pushed the boundaries to create the best possible working environment. An integral part of this is to encourage diversity throughout Experian and that means building our ways of working and our approach in a way that offers equality of opportunity, supporting our employees from the moment they join our organisation, at every level, and letting people work flexibly, in the way that suits them. We have been working hard to create a place where everyone has the freedom to explore and share interests, no matter what their individual story is, without fear of judgement. The more inclined we are to bring our rich outside world to work, the more we will expose others to new perspectives and different thinking, making Experian a great place to work. I’m extremely proud of the progress we’ve made over the last 12 months, with my personal highlights including our on-going partnerships with the likes of Women in Data, Stonewall and the Business Disability Forum, as well as the development of our employee health and well-being offerings. It’s important that we continue to build on this success, looking for new ways to do things, and continuing to provide a working environment that our people love.

Craig Boundy, former Experian North America CEO, was a featured guest on iHeartRadio’s “CEOs You Should Know” program. During the interview, Boundy shares how Experian is helping consumers through the company’s Boost program and culture of innovation. In addition, he provides practical advice regarding how to be a more thoughtful leader with his “no bad news on Friday” rule.        

At Experian we’re proud of our culture and commitment to honoring, practicing and celebrating the values of diversity and inclusion. Which is why we’re especially thrilled to be starting the year with some remarkable honors in recognition of our culture. Fortune and Great Place to Work have named Experian North America as one of the Best Workplaces for Diversity. Additionally, for the second year, Experian was awarded a perfect score in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index. Each year, Fortune honors 100 companies in the U.S. that do the most to create inclusive cultures for women, people of color, LGBTQ people, employees who are Boomers or older, and people who have disabilities. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2020 Corporate Equality Index is a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies and practices pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer employees, and Experian has earned the distinction of “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality.” We’re extremely proud of these awards and the culture we’re building here at Experian. We truly believe in embracing inclusion and diversity and celebrating the differences among our employees. Through our Power of YOU inclusion and diversity commitment, we seek to create an environment where everyone is comfortable bringing their whole self to work, regardless of differences or backgrounds. As part of this effort, we have a variety of initiatives including eight Employee Resource Groups, which are sponsored by Experian and led by our employees. Additionally, everyone across the company is encouraged to play a key role in the creation of our latest innovative products. For example, this past year, we launched Experian Boost™, a free, first-of-its-kind, consumer-controlled tool that has the potential to impact an individual’s financial health for the better. Hundreds of employees from throughout the organization volunteered to personally evaluate Experian Boost because they believed in the product’s potential to help millions of people across the U.S. Throughout the past few years, Experian has received numerous accolades for our workplace and culture, including being named a Top Workplace in Orange County, Calif., by the Orange County Register for the seventh consecutive year, and being named one of the world’s most innovative companies by Forbes magazine for five years.  Our ongoing goal is to further an inclusive and innovative workplace, which helps contribute to greater financial health and inclusion for everyone.
