Playing Our Part
At Chess, we feel passionate about celebrating the differences that make us all unique. Promoting and supporting workplace diversity is an important aspect of good people management. It’s about valuing all people as individuals.
“Having been part of this organisation for three years, I’ve come to deeply appreciate how central diversity, inclusion, community, and family are to our culture. As a Cultural Ambassador and a member of our DEI and community team, I’ve seen how powerful diversity, inclusion, community and family can be in the workplace. I’ve witnessed firsthand how these efforts strengthen not just our teams, but our sense of belonging.”
Tina Flather, Internal Auditor
“Some companies have taglines. At Chess, we have a One Team culture — and it truly makes a difference. In a world turned upside down in 2020, we held onto our sense of togetherness. We celebrate the wins, support each other through the lows, and show up for one another. No matter who you are or what you do, if you're part of the Chess family, we've got you.”
Kerryann Farmer-Tomblin, Customer Support Executive
"Falling into a marginalised community (or three!) it can be difficult to find that true sense of belonging, but it does drive you to channel your energies into ensuring that those around you feel seen, appreciated and respected enough to be their true authentic selves. Building community and celebrating our people is the key to success and who doesn’t want to feel supported and respected not only in the 9 – 5 but 24/7?!"
