Empowering our people

At Janus Henderson, we embody our mantra: 'Investing in a brighter future together.' Our commitment to our value ‘Diversity Improves Results’ is the foundation of our success, fueling our intellectual capital with diverse thoughts and perspectives.

We champion an environment where each individual's unique talents are celebrated, driving us forward. Together, we're setting new standards for excellence and unity in our journey towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

Embracing our core value: Diversity Improves Results

Our efforts are meticulously guided by our DEI Committee, an integral group that includes key members from our Executive Committee, Senior Management, and the People department.

We ensure that diversity is not just a statement, but a tangible practice that demonstrates our commitment to inclusion and belonging for all employees, enhancing our results and underscoring the value of 'Diversity Improves Results.'

Inclusion insights

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Janus Henderson is not about counting people, but about valuing our differences and continually identifying ways to improve our cultural intelligence—ultimately leading to better decision making and a more tailored client experience.

We recognise the importance of continuing to develop a workforce that reflects the backgrounds and experiences of those we serve. Our people are important, and that is something worth investing in.

Our ERGs are grassroots, employee-led efforts that bring colleagues together with common interests and backgrounds. Open to all employees, these groups provide an opportunity for members to meet regularly and discuss how they can make Janus Henderson a more inclusive and high-performing workplace. These groups help ensure our policies support all audiences, further our cultural intelligence, and connect the organisation to diverse populations in the community. They also work to continually implement programmes that meet the needs of our people and strengthen our global community.
