Mackman Research Embraces Diversity with MRS Inclusion Pledge

Mackman Research is thrilled to announce our commitment to enhanced diversity and inclusivity by signing the Market Research Society (MRS) Inclusion Pledge. This important step reinforces our dedication to creating a workplace that celebrates diversity, supports equality, and fosters an inclusive environment for all team members.

Strengthening Our Core Values

As part of the Mackman Group, Mackman Research is aligned with values that support not only professional excellence but also a deep commitment to ethical and responsible business practices. By signing the MRS Inclusion Pledge, we are not just adhering to a set of principles but actively promoting a culture where diversity is seen as a strength that drives innovation and business success.

What the MRS Inclusion Pledge Means for Us

The MRS Inclusion Pledge involves several key commitments that are now integral to our operational ethos:

• Educational Initiatives: We are enhancing our training programs to include more comprehensive education on unconscious bias and diversity.
• Promoting Diversity in Leadership: We are committed to providing equal opportunities for career development for all staff, with a concerted effort to ensure diversity in our leadership roles.
• Transparency and Accountability: Regular monitoring and reporting on our progress will be standard practice, ensuring we hold ourselves accountable to the goals we have set.

The Mackman Group have produced an article addressing the gender pay gap, which references the MRS Inclusion Pledge.

Looking Forward

Our pledge to these principles is just the beginning. We see this as a crucial step in not only setting an example for the market research industry but also in enriching our own workplace culture. This initiative allows us to mirror the diverse communities we serve, enhancing the research insights we provide to our clients.

Mackman Research is excited to lead by example and demonstrate how inclusivity is not just a policy, but a practice that enriches every aspect of our work. We look forward to sharing our journey and the positive changes the MRS Inclusion Pledge will bring.

“Equality and inclusivity are fundamental to the ethical foundation across the Mackman Group. As a certified B Corp, we are proud to lead by example in closing the gender pay gap and ensuring that all our employees, regardless of gender, are rewarded fairly for their contributions. Our commitment to these values is unwavering, and we encourage other businesses to join us in taking meaningful action towards a more just and equitable workplace.” Dr Gemma Mackman, Research Director, Mackman Research
