“One of the best things about BMJ is its people.” This is a statement heard time and time again by staff from all backgrounds, working at all levels across the business. The people are what makes the culture at BMJ so unique, and that’s why diversity and inclusion is such a mainstay of BMJ’s culture.

“I want BMJ as a company to have the most inclusive environment and be an active ally of all under-represented groups. I encourage everyone at work to speak out when they witness unjust behaviour and highlight areas where we can do better. I hope other companies are doing the same.”
Chris Jones, CEO

Leading by example

Inclusivity also plays a large part in our vision for a healthier world. The active stance we take on supporting social justice translates beyond our people into the work we do with customers and partners.

As an established publisher, we understand the role of journals in creating a more positive, equitable, diverse and inclusive environment in research, clinical practice and scholarly publishing. 

Our efforts to limit the effects of unconscious bias serve to dismantle barriers that may have previously prevented women and underrepresented groups from being published, having a voice or advancing their careers.

How we create an inclusive environment

At BMJ, we learn and discuss. Everyone can join a safe space at BMJ to share thoughts and experiences about important issues on all areas of diversity and inclusion, from mental health, sexual orientation, race, disability, gender, age, and caring for a loved one.

We take action: from refusing to host or take part in all-male panels (‘manels’) and providing mentoring to aspiring journalists from underrepresented communities, to supporting a diverse pipeline of future leaders, include some of the ways you can contribute to creating a more diverse and inclusive sector.

We celebrate: at regular intervals, we come together to celebrate our diversity, and further establish our inclusive culture.
