Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
We are all unique and it’s that uniqueness that creates great teams when we recognise, respect and value our differences. As an organisation wholly owned by a charitable trust, we’re unique too. It makes us stand out, it makes us proud.
If you want to make a difference to the environment you live and thrive in tomorrow, from the one you live in today, why not join us? We are looking for people who want to make a difference and believe that working together with our combined strengths, diversity and uniqueness, we can achieve greatness.
Our culture embeds respect for others; we treat our people fairly and equally and ensure that all have an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. Likewise, ‘Eric Wright people’ treat and deal with others with the same respect and values.
What else does equality, diversity and inclusion mean to us:
- It’s important to everyone – from future employees, employees, clients and our supply chain
- It’s part of our culture – having respect for others and treating people fairly and equally and valuing our differences
- It’s about good behaviours and leading by example
- It’s making people feel able to be themselves at work
- It’s embedding understanding and acceptance of a culture of diversity and inclusion through training and education
- It’s working together and creating high performing diverse teams where everyone’s voice can be heard and the best results are delivered
- It’s sharing our passion for the industry with our local education establishments and with the local communities we work in
- It’s encouraging people to understand what we do, what roles are available and how their unique talent and perspectives are just what we’re looking for
- It’s encouraging the widest pool of talent to come and work with us from apprenticeships, work experience placements, to recruitment for craft, technical/professional and managerial roles
- It’s achieving a group board that is representative of the community we serve through the charitable trust
- It’s our commitment to delivering a broad range of CSR activities including volunteering and charitable days for our employees
- It’s continually asking and challenging how can we improve on this?
