What are we doing to help us build a thriving, inclusive community?
Our ambition is to build a more diverse, equal and inclusive workplace for everyone and we have a mission statement in place to reinforce our commitment. However, that’s the easy part!
Our key challenges are…
How we continue to nurture positive behaviours in our own culture to foster healthy, happy and collaborative colleagues where performance is recognised and differences celebrated.
How we strive to build our own internal community to better reflect the diverse communities we serve.
To help us achieve this, we have recently established an employee network called #WeAreMarkerstudy - a body of proactive colleagues with diverse interests and experiences, who have volunteered themselves to be part of a driving force for positive change.
Change won’t happen overnight or without the support of our colleagues, but we are now in a good position to make realistic and manageable plans in order to see them flourish in the future
