HMS aspires to have a highly diverse workforce with a unique range of skills, distinctive talent and varied perspectives.
We want to create a culture that enables all our employees to develop and reach their full potential. We believe that diversity of thought and independence of mind create an inclusive working environment which fosters the pursuit of excellence. This in turn also enables us to best serve the interests of our diverse partners and build long-lasting partnerships within the communities in which we operate.
We actively support the promotion of an inclusive culture. As an equal opportunity employer, we seek to provide employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals without regard to gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, disability, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital or parental status or any other personal characteristic. We believe in valuing our differences and ensuring that everyone can bring their true self to work.
Open-minded, open to all
Equity and Inclusion
Our corporate values of long-term thinking and responsibility naturally lead to a culture of collaboration and partnership. Because diversity, equity and inclusion are the collective responsibility of everyone in the organisation, we actively engage with employees about how to incorporate DEI into everyday business. All managers have a formalised DEI objective and learn how unconscious bias can impact decision making.
To further support our employees at different stages of their careers and lives, we offer numerous competitive benefits and policies in relation to family care, including parental leave and eldercare. Flexible working arrangements are also available to all employees to encourage work life balance.
Our approach
priority in the management of our business. In 2024, we have been re-certified for global EDGE Level 2 (Move) certification and have also attained the new EDGEplus certification. EDGE certification recognises our continued focus on building a gender-balanced talent pipeline, ensuring pay equity, having an effective framework of policies and practices to ensure equitable career flows and fostering an inclusive culture. EDGEplus certification further recognises our commitment to analysing intersectional issues between gender and the following additional dimensions: race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, working with a disability, and age.
