A commitment to Diversity, Equality, Inclusion and Accessibility
At Steer, we recognise that equality, diversity, and inclusion are vital to our success. A more representative workforce enables us to better serve our clients and the communities in which we operate. By embracing a broad range of experiences, perspectives, and ideas, we enrich our work and create greater value for everyone.
We are committed to fostering equality of opportunity and reward for all employees while safeguarding a culture that prioritises inclusivity and diversity.
Measuring progress on our DEIA goals
To assess our EDI performance, we align with the UK Equality Act 2010 framework, which addresses nine protected characteristics – age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage & civil partnership, sexual orientation, pregnancy & maternity, race, religion & belief and gender.
In addition, we benchmark our progress across all our geographies against:
- the private sector (specifically professional services);
- our industry peers, and
- the communities we serve.
Our latest DEIA Report reflects our commitment to these goals and includes key insights such as our Gender Pay Gap analysis, ensuring we continue to foster equality of opportunity and reward for all employees.
