Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at PSW

At PSW, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy is more than a document; it is a commitment to shaping a workplace where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

 

We believe that innovation flourishes when diverse voices come together, equity ensures fairness in every opportunity, and inclusion creates a culture of belonging for all.

Our DEI Policy guides us in:

  • Embedding equity into our systems, policies, and practices.
  • Celebrating diversity in all its forms, ensuring representation across our teams.
  • Creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels safe, respected, and able to contribute fully.

Where the Journey Began

Our DEI journey started with a comprehensive Gender Audit by REMIT that revealed opportunities to strengthen our policies, systems, and procedures. This first step set the foundation for embedding DEI into every aspect of our culture and building an organization where fairness and belonging guide every decision.
