We perform best when people of different backgrounds and life experiences come together.
Our workforce, with more than 50 nationalities, reflects the diversity of the communities in which we operate. We are proud of the gender balance in our UK and German teams, with a 50:50 split of female and male employees and that 39.7% of our senior leadership are women.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion empower businesses, and we are committed to promoting initiatives that nurture them and produce great results for our employees, customers, communities, and each other.
Commitments
Sirius is a signatory to the German Diversity Charter.
Policies and training
We regularly review and update our policies and procedures to ensure compliance with our diversity objectives. Our Diversity Groups in the UK and Germany lead these initiatives, supported by two Diversity Ambassadors.
All employees receive unconscious bias training, and we conduct equality and diversity training every two years.
PRISMA
Our PRISMA initiative is an important way in which we are promoting a more diverse workforce. It was created to attract and support refugees who settled in Germany and provide them with access to specialist jobs in the Real Estate sector, offering training, development, mentoring and job opportunities within Sirius.
The scheme is an important part of our commitment to fostering a workplace environment that encourages diversity of thought as well as nationality. Currently, 5% of our staff employed in Germany is made up of former refugees. We strive to provide a safe and welcoming working environment where everyone feels valued, included, and able to thrive.
