Inclusion and Diversity
Inclusion and diversity are core focus areas for our business, as we constantly strive to showcase and provide opportunities to a diverse audience, as well as make anyone and everyone who joins Tarmac feel included, welcomed and comfortable being themselves.
Our values help us work together to achieve our vision:
- Building on our success
We want to let everyone know they are welcome by showing how diverse our workforce already is. We’re constantly monitoring and reviewing our hiring data regularly to ensure we practice what we preach. - Attracting diverse talent
We are dedicated to finding innovative ways to source and attract talent that genuinely reflects the communities we operate in. Our employee communities help guide and educate our business on best practice. - Offering equal opportunities
We are committed to providing the same opportunities for development and progression for everybody who works for us. Robust talent plans are put in place to ensure everyone is getting the same level of commitment to progression and development. - Ensuring inclusive leadership
Our leadership style is inspiring and inclusive, helping everyone who works for us to realise their full potential. We’re always encouraging senior leaders in our business to tell their own stories, or act as allies for our employee communities.
In 2020 BM set up a dedicated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) team to ensure that Equality, Diversity and Inclusion would ensure fair treatment and opportunity for all team members. BM wanted to ensure that no one would face prejudice or discrimination on the basis of an individual or group of individual’s protected characteristics.
