taking advantage of open plan offices and breakout spaces that help them solve problems for clients. We invest in technologies to empower our people, help them operate faster and more effectively, and turn their ideas into reality. Our ‘one firm’ approach brings different parts of the business together to learn from each other and ensure clients get the right talent for their project. The S-RM Academy lets us consolidate training, learning and development, as well as nurture and support each other to achieve our full potential.
we continue to invest in S-RM’s growth, and transparency about our financial performance means our people see us scaling sustainably. Despite the pandemic and economic slowdown, we continue to recruit talented people with a range of expertise that allows us to expand and enhance the services we offer clients. We are welcoming new clients and a wider variety of work. We are investing in technology that fosters innovation and helps our people solve problems more effectively. We are investing in the learning, development and career growth of every colleague with the launch of S-RM Academy.
making it one of our core values. It is reflected in how people are managed and able to inform changes to ways of working. Our extensive focus on equality, diversity and inclusion ensures different perspectives are heard at every level of the business. Observers on our Executive Committee can weigh in on strategic decision-making, while engagement groups for health & wellbeing and learning & development help us develop benefits that will retain and attract talent. We build community and celebrate moments that matter from individual anniversaries and successes to Pride, Black History Month and International Women’s Day.
ensuring conversations about growth are part of how we manage performance. Our investment in physical, mental and financial wellbeing benefits supports people’s personal needs. We are consolidating technical training and new joiner, leadership and management learning and development into four cohesive programmes within our new Academy. Professional development starts from our first day at S-RM and supports us at each stage of our career. Everyone already has access to our comprehensive mentoring programme, to LinkedIn Learning, and can apply for discretionary training budget or further education support.
colleagues were instrumental in evolving them. We talked with all levels of the business, with people in all our international offices and with every team. They helped us identify the great behaviour that was already attracting talented people and a wide range of clients to S-RM, understand what would be needed in future, and build on both to help drive our growth and success. Drawing on things that have been fundamental to S-RM for several years, our values remain core to how we recognise achievements and reward performance.
work that has a tangible, positive and immediate impact on others supported by the tools and freedom to work flexibly between home and the office. We also help through benefits that include maternity and paternity leave that rivals the best in our industry as well as support for those going through miscarriage, fertility treatment or menopause. We take time for company-paid socials and make time for pro bono work, giving back to our charity partners and time off to volunteer. Our health and wellbeing benefits are complemented by free financial education and advice, and free access to the Headspace mindfulness app. In 2023, our Associate Conference will fly colleagues to London to thank them for all their hard work, celebrate their achievements and to invest in them as our future leaders.
his visible presence and passion for the business. There are no separate offices here; our CEO, Heyrick, and his senior leadership team work ‘open plan’ with everyone else. Heyrick keeps people informed with monthly ‘all hands’, meets informally with every new joiner and regularly brings together people from different locations to collaborate or just catch up over coffee. He has championed improvements in equality, diversity and inclusion, is visible at awareness-raising and social events, and is personally invested in policies to support women in our workforce. Heyrick sets the standard for how we interact with clients and build strong, long-lasting relationships. He has long been an advocate for positive feedback and recognition, while his passion for helping people grow through learning and development opportunities inspired the development of S-RM Academy.
