Affinity Groups
Our networks provide a community of support and connection, a safe space to share experiences, learn from one another and generate ideas. These groups are open to all employees.
Women at Amey
The W@A network promote gender inclusion in our business through attracting, developing and supporting women at Amey through all stages of their career. We provide a community to share ideas and a safe space to talk.
We’re taking Bolder Steps Together to improve representation of women in all levels and roles in our business.
We’re an open group for all employees with 400+ members on Yammer. We’re always looking for new members and especially welcome men to become allies of the network.

Neurodiversity
Our Neurodiversity affinity group supports employees who identify as neurodivergent. It is a safe space to enable employees to share experiences and gain support.
Neurodiverse conditions include ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and tics disorders (e.g. tourette’s syndrome).
The affinity group also aims to raise awareness and understanding of neurodiversity so that everyone at Amey can offer more support when it is needed, as well as challenge harmful stereotypes or misconceptions.

Multicultural
The Multicultural Group aims to provide a safe space for employees to talk about race and learn about the different backgrounds and cultures in Amey. Providing support to those affected by any type of non-inclusive behaviour or racism, we promote understanding and knowledge share and encourage people from all cultures to join our network.

Parents and carers
The parents and carers group aims to create a community of people to support each other to navigate through the different stages of life, whether as a parent of young children, teens or adults, or as a carer for family members, young or old.
Sometimes we just need to ask that daft question to understand that someone else has been there, has a solution and can support us. We are building a resource bank, pulling together our policies and starting to look at some stories to share with you in an event later in 2022.
Armed Forces
This Affinity Group proactively supports our Armed Forces community. We support and raise awareness for the successful employment of reservists, veterans and forces families, support in the engagement and mentoring of those that are transitioning from the military and, help volunteer and fundraise for causes that support the Armed forces community at large.
The network supports Amey’s signatory to the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant and enabled our Gold status partnership with the Defence Employee Recognition Scheme.
