Equality, diversity and inclusion

At S-RM, we’re proud to foster an environment where people are valued for their individual experiences and perspectives. Because of this, our EDI journey sits at the heart of our strategic agenda. Being open to differences makes us better at what we do so we strive to embed EDI values throughout our business in a way that’s realistic and sustainable.

S-RM’s commitment to EDI is embedded in our culture and core values. From respect and looking out for one another to continuous learning.

Elliott Frisby, EDI Lead

We’re committed to going beyond just talk. We want to deliver real and measurable results, and that’s why each member of the Executive Committee sponsors a dedicated area of our EDI action plan.

Sinéad Owen, Associate

Each Network provides a space for colleagues to come together to share knowledge and experience outside of work-related topics. And in doing so they foster understanding, respect and trust. We also have fun, the benefit of smiling at work cannot be underestimated!

Building an equitable, diverse and inclusive culture

Building a diverse and inclusive culture takes time and dedication. In 2021 we worked with Challenge Consultancy, experts in building more inclusive workplaces, to understand what we are doing well and where we could improve. In 2025, following a thorough assessment of our business and culture, S-RM was accredited with the Inclusive Employer Standard.

Embedding EDI for real change

Continuous learning underpins all of S-RM’s EDI objectives and is embedded into all stages of our employee’s journey from their first day. Compulsory EDI learning modules are complemented with regular Culture Café conversations on topics such as allyship and parental leave. Our partners Inclusive Employers have delivered a bitesize learning series covering topics such as inclusive language and challenging microaggressions. Inclusion is embedded into training for team managers and for those carrying out interviews.

Empowering our people to drive our EDI agenda

We have established four employee networks for Women, LGBT+, Disability & Neurodiversity, and Race, Ethnicity, Religion & Culture. Each is sponsored by a member of the Executive Committee. Network leads work with EDI champions to engage with people across the business to understand their views on equality, diversity and inclusion, and to deliver awareness-raising initiatives throughout the year. Previous events have included lunches for Eid and US Black History Month with local tours and film club discussions for Pride.

Evidencing our approach to EDI

S-RM’s approach to EDI aims to design interventions that are evidence-based. We are proud to commit to the standards of Business in the Community’s Race at Work charter and the Disability Confident scheme. We undertake regular reviews of our policies and processes to ensure our approach to recruitment improves the diversity of the people who work at S-RM.
