diversity & inclusion
Attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. Building a team of the highest performing individuals.
We believe that diversity among the workforce enables us to build a leading company with a team of the highest performing individuals. We continuously strive to foster a culture of respect and are committed to cultivating a workforce and workplace that is diverse, inclusive and accessible for all our employees.
We also believe that a collaborative and inclusive work environment is critical for nurturing productivity, innovation, and employee satisfaction, and that diversity brings unique perspectives and ideas to the table, which can help us stay ahead of the curve in today’s fast-paced world.
As a result, we strongly encourage open communication; active listening and empathy among all employees and team leaders are expected to encourage teamwork, collaboration and equal participation among team members.
We have also continued to make significant efforts to retain and attract a diverse and inclusive workforce. This includes broadening our on-campus hiring efforts across all regions, improving parental leave time, supporting flexible work arrangements where required, and supporting women in the workforce.
All of these efforts have helped build a workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve and has provided opportunities for women and other underrepresented groups to succeed.
The continued growth and long-term success of Mercuria is dependent on our ability to retain and attract our talented workforce. Maintaining a positive, diverse and inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best is not only the smart thing to do, but the right thing to do.
