FIR Ambassadors promote a culture of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect within the organisation in which they work. They are expected to embody the principles of FIR: work collaboratively, whilst stepping in to take action, challenge behaviours and positively impact workplace culture.
The business value of FIR Ambassadors:

- Demonstrate a commitment to FIR, to staff, new recruits, clients and other stakeholders
- Develop the knowledge and capability of people
FIR Ambassadors are not limited to specific job roles, and can be employed at any level of the organisation.
