At ERM we know that creating a diverse and inclusive work environment is not only an essential part of making our company a great place to build a career. Our diversity is also a strength that helps us create better solutions for our clients.
Only when we reflect the communities in which we work, celebrate and promote difference and diversity of thought, and assume our collective responsibility towards inclusion, do we realize our full potential as an organization.
We confirmed our commitment to this over 10 years ago in the first global company policy on diversity and, through our active approach to building an inclusive culture, we strive to create an environment where every person can bring their full self to their work.
Diversity and inclusion relate directly to our company beliefs in the following ways:
- Together we challenge: creating a supportive and collaborative environment in which we can inspire greater impact for ourselves and our clients
- Expertise is our superpower: harnessing the many different forms of knowledge, thinking and expertise that exist across our organization
- Impact ignites us: celebrating the diverse ways in which we deliver impact for our business and the organizations we partner with
Connecting our people
Our global employee resource groups support and create space for all our people to build deeper connections and community. These include the Asian Professional Network, Black Professionals Network, Caregivers @ERM, EnAble (disability and neurodiversity), GLOW (Global Women), Hispanic/Latinx Professionals Network, North American Veterans and PRIDE.
A global perspective
These groups are supported by an internal team who guide the development and implementation of our inclusion strategy globally. They provide insight and assist us in creating awareness, education and, where appropriate, training across the company. We also work across internal functions to make sure our global systems and processes are free from bias and promote equal opportunity.
