Equality, diversity and inclusion
Redefining Inclusion Together
We are a purpose driven company – and at the heart of our purpose is our people.
Drawing on a broad range of backgrounds, perspectives, experience and expertise to challenge convention is our strength. It’s the reason why we continue to grow and it’s the secret to how we’ve built some of the world’s most renowned buildings.
Creating a truly diverse and inclusive culture is at the top of our agenda, because when our Mace people are comfortable and confident to be themselves, they thrive, we thrive and our clients thrive.
From Africa to Australia, UK to India, America to the Middle East, a deep-rooted culture of respect, integrity and curiosity through every corner of the business encourages great minds to come together.
How we behave everyday matters – to ourselves, our colleagues, clients and communities
To redefine inclusion we need to be brave, reflective, and relentlessly pursue a better way – and our Board, leaders and people are committed to just that.
Our culture is what fuels our progress and helps determine our success. It’s the combination of what we believe (our values) and how we act (our behaviours). Our values and behaviours are the foundation of our inclusive culture. It’s who we are. It’s how we deliver in the right way.
Our people have a voice and are valued
Our employee resource groups (ERGs), such as Women at Mace, Ethnic Diversity at Mace, Enabled at Mace, Pride at Mace, Parents at Mace and Military at Mace, are transforming the way we work – building awareness, knowledge, and education. Constructively challenging us to create a great working environment.
We want to be the most inclusive employer in our industry
At Mace we build safe spaces that bring people together – and we want the same for our teams. All our people have a voice, are free to be themselves and can be the best that they can be. Supported by inclusive policies and practices at all stages of their lives and careers.
We celebrate, encourage and empower a diverse and rich culture in our workplace. Our people have equal opportunities to develop, grow and contribute. Leadership are empowered, passionate and engaged in championing an inclusive culture across all corners of the globe and our business.
We’re on a journey with a clear goal in sight - for Mace and for our wider sector - and we’re proud of how far we’ve come.
By making changes that have a big impact, every day we’re building a more inclusive environment for all.
Our use of pronouns in email signatures
To create an inclusive environment for all colleagues we encourage Mace people to share how they like to be referred to when communicating in their emails.
Know my name
Getting somebody’s name right shows you respect them and their identity. We encourage Mace people to share the phonetic pronunciation of their name on emails.
