The benefits of promoting EDI in the workplace are well documented. Diversity enriches company culture, drives innovation, is better for business, the list goes on – However the reason it is important to me personally is simply that it is the right thing to do.

Building a diverse and inclusive organisation goes beyond hiring a workforce with a mixed background; it requires creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.
In 2023 we progressed to the next level of the disability confident employer scheme and have moved from disability confident committed to a fully-fledged disability confident employer.
As a disability confident employer we you are ensuring that disabled people have the opportunities to fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.
We are proud members of the Employer’s Network for Equality & Inclusion (ENEI) and are delighted with the diverse demographic of MRG staff, which currently has a 55/45 female-to-male ratio.
55% of those in senior management positions are female as well as 40% of our board.
Mindful Employer is a UK wide initiative run by Devon Partnership NHS Trust. Providing employers with easier access to professional Workplace Mental Health training, information and support, the initiative aims to help empower employers to take a lead in supporting the mental wellbeing of their staff.
By signing the ‘Charter for Employer Positive About Mental Health’, MRG have made a public statement of our desire to support the mental health of our staff across the organisation.
We recognise that in order to promote diverse and healthy workplace cultures, we have to live those values ourselves. We are working hard to create and continually nurture an environment where our people can bring their ‘whole self’ to work, feel valued at all times and supported during life’s challenging moments.
From a range of wellbeing programmes to our five mental health first aiders, we’re serious about mental health.
