Lloyds Banking Group has pledged to double the proportion of staff with disabilities in senior management jobs, in the first commitment of its kind from a UK bank.

The move is part of efforts from the UK’s biggest lender to be a more inclusive workplace.

Currently 6% of Lloyds’ employees at senior management level have reported having a disability – including musculoskeletal conditions, hearing loss and neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism, as well as mental health conditions – according to its internal diversity surveys.
