![]() It’s inspiring and unique to see a company that truly places value on diversity across all levels. One of the most notable things about MUFG is the number of women in senior positions. I grew up surrounded by people with similar cultural backgrounds, studies and experiences, so one of the reasons I decided to study and work abroad was to get out of my comfort zone, break down my cultural silos and challenge myself. And the fact that you’ll rarely find two people who are alike makes working here even more exciting. The beauty of working for an international organisation like MUFG – in a very multicultural capital city like London – is that you get to experience and embrace diversity every day. In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve learnt that finance is no longer this archaic industry with limited opportunities for those from lower socio-economic backgrounds – it’s continually progressing and trying to become more inclusive. I’m part of the Social Mobility network and we aim to empower those from lower socio-economic backgrounds to join our company. They connect you to a huge group of people who have similar interests to you, all offering a community and connection for employees, and providing the opportunity to be heard. A vital element of the Inclusion & Diversity strategy is the wide range of employee networks. There’s a truly diverse workforce at MUFG. You even get assigned a buddy on your team when you first join who supports you in your first few months. It meant I was able to develop friendships with a whole network of different people on the same journey. Joining as part of the graduate programme was great. It’s expanded my way of thinking and encouraged me to build effective communication styles, and more importantly, it makes the workplace a dynamic and interesting place to be part of. I’ve gained so much knowledge working with such a diverse group of people. I sensed this at the insight day, but working here, you can really see how differences are embraced so that people with diverse skills, experience and mindset come together and work towards the shared goals of the firm. ‘Inclusive’ is the first word that comes to mind when I think of the culture at MUFG.
