EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE

Nicola Roberts

Position: Operations Programme Manager

Nicola is an Operations Program Manager at Auto Trader, a role she enjoys as it involves activities that are inherent to her, problem solving and delivering solutions. Another role she is passionate about is being a mum, both roles blend well as they have similar traits, organisation, creativity and balance.

Balancing a career and homelife is supported by Nicolas husband, they both share the responsibility of raising their child in our blended world (her husband is Welsh). It is important to them to make sure their son grows up with the knowledge that no one should be left behind because of inequality. This is partly the driver behind Nicola getting involved with AutoTrader’s Diversity and Inclusion Networks, Nicola is a member of both the BAME and Women’s Networks, with both platforms providing the opportunity for Nicola to actively contribute to AutoTrader’s community both internally and externally.

Nicola states ‘Culture, fun and constant development keeps my interest in working at AutoTrader, I’ve achieved 6 different roles in the last 15 years, covering customer service, technical support and operations.

I am proud to work at for a company who values and embraces difference, it’s a place I’ve thrived not only professionally but personally too.’

Steven Woods

Position: Data Engineering

Steven achieved a PhD in Molecular Biology at The University of Manchester, looking into what happens when light shines on a fungus. He enjoyed writing code to help analyse his research data, but felt unable to pursue a career in tech without formal training.

I am happy to be one of our Be you At Bupa Network Lead to continue the great work we have done in this space. Recent colleague engagement sessions in IT gave people opportunity to discuss inclusion and how they can help create an inclusive culture. I am very excited about the prospect of making a difference for all individuals who work at Bupa.

I’ve always been passionate about creating a positive impact for everyone and making their Bupa journey enjoyable. I truly believe diversity and inclusion is not about statistics on paper, it’s about people being able to bring their experience and backgrounds and be themself at Bupa or in any organisation. This gives an organisation a wealth of different perspectives and experiences which enriches our workplace for all.

In order to continue to make great progress, we all need to be active in this space, and this starts with us. “Be the change you want to see in the world.” If you see something wrong, speak up. If you want to change the status quo, just do it.

We were thrilled to be included in last year’s Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List. Each year, more and more organisations are showcasing the great work being done, and so being recognised again on the list is a testament to the brilliant people who are driving our inclusive culture at Auto Trader. It’s important to participate in the inclusive top 50, as not only is it a celebration of the incredible work we do across our business, including our guilds and networks, it’s also a reminder that we can always do more. Being part of Inclusive Companies over the years has also been a fantastic opportunity to meet, network and learn from other businesses who are also driving to make their organisations a more inclusive place for everyone. A big thank you to the wonderful team at Inclusive Companies for all their hard and impactful work.
