Investing in
diversity
At the University of South Wales, it is our people
who make us such an outstanding place to work

T

he diverse and inclusive
community of academics and
support staff at the University
of South Wales is critical to the
institution's success. We believe diversity is
a source of strength that is the foundation
for the exchange of ideas, innovation and
debate at the heart of everything we do.
We actively work towards creating
a socially diverse workplace and do
everything we can to enable our people
to succeed. In 2018 we have climbed 197
places in the UK Stonewall Workplace
Equality Index, which enables employers
to measure their progress on lesbian,
gay, bi and trans inclusion in the
workplace. USW is proud to be a place
where everyone can be themselves.
When recruiting staff, we aim to bring
together diverse teams with the relative
skills, strengths and identities to make
a positive impact on the university and
the world. We want to work with people
who are as committed as we are to putting
inclusion into practice. Our staff can
access a range of networking and support
groups, run and managed by staff for staff.
