Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Joins Includability as a Committed Employer

Leading With Purpose – On and Off the Pitch

This recognition celebrates the Club’s proactive leadership in building a workplace culture centred on diversity, sustainability, mental health, wellbeing, and ethical talent management.

Fresh from a triumphant end to their season – winning the Europa League Final – Tottenham have now followed that success with a major off-pitch milestone: completing Includability’s rigorous verification journey and officially joining our growing community of purpose-led employers.

“Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is proud to be recognised as a Committed Verified Employer by Includability. This achievement reflects our unwavering dedication to building a truly inclusive, supportive and sustainable workforce – where everyone belongs and thrives. From DEI and Sustainability to Mental Health and Wellbeing, we’re proud that our progress in these key areas has been acknowledged, and we remain committed to driving meaningful, positive change in these areas.”

Strength in Numbers – A Growing Movement in Football

Tottenham’s achievement places them in outstanding company – joining the likes of Liverpool FC, Worcester City Women FC, Chelsea FC, and Fairford Town FC – all part of the Includability Family and all committed to creating inclusive, mentally healthy environments across sport and society.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Tottenham Hotspur Football Club as an Includability Committed Employer,” said David Holby-Wolinski, Co-Founder of Includability. “Their dedication to creating an inclusive, mentally healthy, and forward-thinking workplace culture is truly inspiring. Whether it’s on the pitch, in the stands, or behind the scenes, Tottenham are showing what it means to lead with purpose – championing equality, wellbeing, and belonging at every level of their organisation.”

What It Means to Be an Includability Committed Employer

The Club’s verification was independently assessed across key impact areas – including Diversity & Inclusion, Talent Management, Mental Health, Wellbeing, Sustainability, and Leadership & Governance – by Includability’s expert partners: ODiSEE Strategies, TalentMapper, Outliers Wellbeing, The Mental Health Charter, The HR Agency, and B Corp Consultancy.

Notably, Tottenham also received guidance aligned to the Premier League Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Standard (PLEDIS), ensuring their work meets and exceeds the highest industry benchmarks for inclusion and integrity.

But Includability is more than a badge. It’s a supportive community of like-minded organisations, brought together to share best practice, overcome challenges, and build truly inclusive cultures that create lasting impact. For large sporting institutions like Spurs – with players, fans, and staff across the globe – being part of such a community brings shared strength, continuous learning, and positive change.

Strength in Numbers – A Growing Movement in Football

And in keeping with our commitment to social impact, every new sports organisation joining Includability also triggers a donation to the Switch the Play Foundation, supporting athletes as they transition from elite sport into new careers and opportunities.

Welcome aboard, Tottenham Hotspur. Let’s change the game together.
