Building a successful career
Juliet Bullick Head of Strategic Initiatives shares her thoughts on building a successful career within Investment Management.
If you work here, you’ll find that we care deeply about creating a supportive place where all our people feel valued and free to be themselves. For us, commitment to Diversity and Inclusion is not only right, it's critical for a healthy culture and leads to better business outcomes. That’s why we have an environment where all our differences are welcomed and celebrated.
Over the years, we have made huge progress on Diversity and Inclusion. But we are dedicated to improving and will continue to progress on creating an environment that reflects the full diversity of the communities where we work, and on making sure that all our people feel they belong.
We have set three company-wide priorities for our global Diversity and Inclusion strategy:
Increase the diversity of people at all levels of our organisation
Strengthen our inclusive culture where everyone’s voice is heard
Enhance our presence with clients and communities as an inclusive company
At Fidelity, we value and respect all the differences that make us who we are, including: age, cultural background, ethnicity and race; disability and mental health, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and social background. Our activities focus on these global priorities:
With 46 offices across 27 countries, we have a wonderfully diverse community and have respect for different cultures, nationalities, ethnicities and beliefs.
We are committed to improving accessibility and enablement for our employees with different abilities and health conditions.
We are dedicated to achieving a greater gender balance and narrowing the gender pay gap.
We embrace our LGBT+ employees and communities, and support people to express their sexual orientation and gender identity at work.

Each of our regions has a Fidelity for Everyone network which aims to involve our people in supporting and strengthening inclusion and diversity through speaker events and activities. We also host networking events and provide opportunities for people to let us know how we can improve.
Alongside our global Diversity and Inclusion activities, Fidelity International has signed up to the HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter, a UK government initiative to address gender balance across all UK Financial Services firms.
