Our commitment
We are committed to making progress on our gender pay gap
Our values – Truth, Trust, Together, Tomorrow – underpin our commitment to making progress happen. We believe that when we bring people together, the right people doing things the right way, we make progress for our clients, communities and colleagues.
To meet our commitment to closing the gender pay gap and ensuring fair reward for all employees, we are taking a number of targeted actions:
Building an inclusive workplace
We are actively working to overcome bias within the construction and property management sectors. This involves recruiting, retaining, developing and promoting a workforce that is both diverse and inclusive.
Representing our local communities
Our approach is centred on attracting and retaining employees who reflect the diversity of the communities in which we live and operate. In doing so, we ensure our workforce is truly representative of those communities.
Investing in our people's development
We are committed to equipping every individual with the necessary skills to succeed. We encourage all employees to reach their full potential and strive to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable bringing their authentic professional selves to work.
Fairness, transparency and opportunity for all
By promoting fairness, transparency and equal opportunity, we are shaping a business prepared for future challenges.
Our new diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) strategy aims to benefit everyone at RLB. It acknowledges that each person’s situation is unique and helps us provide appropriate resources and opportunities so everyone has a fair chance at success.
We are focused on making improvements related to the nine protected characteristics: gender, gender reassignment, age, race, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity.
Our initiatives to recruit more women and create diverse candidate shortlists are showing results, with more female professionals joining us each year.
We remain dedicated to openness about professional development paths and provide skills maps and frameworks for all positions.
Benchmarking our progress
RLB has been awarded the Investors in People Gold accreditation. Gaining this accreditation demonstrates an organisation’s proven commitment to a positive work environment, continuous improvement and sustained success.
We are also an accredited Living Wage Employer, and a member of Onvero (formerly Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion), a not-for-profit organisation focusing on helping employers build and maintain diverse teams and inclusive cultures.
