Social inclusion and wellbeing

 

Our aim is to build a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace creating a sense of belonging for everyone, driving forward meaningful and positive change. We value differences and people from all walks of life and, together, we’ll build a stronger community. Our focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEI&B) and wellbeing empowers the colleague voice, encourages social connection and collaboration, and enables everyone to thrive in an inclusive environment.

DEI&B Executive Statement

DEI&B Executive Statement

At Markerstudy we recognise that our strength lies in the diversity of our people. As an Executive team, we are personally committed to cultivating a working environment where our colleagues feel they belong, are valued, respected, and can be their authentic selves, which reflects the customers and communities
we serve.

 

Together, we are unified in supporting a culture that fosters innovation, creativity, and diverse approaches to problem-solving. We recognise diversity comes in many forms, including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, educational and socio-economic background, disability, skills, tenure, geographic, and professional backgrounds.

 

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B) is an important part of our business strategy to ensure the long-term success of Markerstudy.

 

While we have made great progress, we understand true equity and inclusion require ongoing effort and a commitment to removing barriers.

 

We promise to:

  • Allocate resources for DEI&B activities.

  • Set clear goals and accountability measures.

  • Incorporate DEI&B objectives into performance measures.

  • Implement mandatory DEI&B training.

  • Review talent acquisition practices to ensure fairness.

  • Continuously learn and improve through feedback and measurement.

During 2025, we will collect data to understand our diversity profile, identify gaps and set meaningful diversity aims.
