Our Culture and Values
At S-RM, we pride ourselves on fostering a unique culture built by talented, curious people who work collaboratively to solve complex problems. Our culture is defined by our four core values, which guide everything we do:
Client Service at the Heart of Everything: The success of our business is built on strong relationships and the trust our clients place in us. We approach client challenges with energy, urgency, and attention to detail, always ensuring that our work is intelligent, planned, and executed with rigour. Our aim is to become our clients’ trusted advisor and deliver best-in-class service through thorough understanding and aligned objectives.
Trust, Respect, and Looking Out for Each Other: Respect and trust are fundamental to our culture. We recognise and value difference, both because it’s the right thing to do and because diverse perspectives strengthen our workplace. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe to challenge ideas and contribute their unique talents, ensuring that we support one another both professionally and personally.
Being Collegiate and Putting the Team First: Teamwork is at the core of our success. We believe that fewer barriers to collaboration lead to better outcomes for the company and its people. We take responsibility for the success of the team, always seeking opportunities to help colleagues regardless of role, location, or experience. Supporting each other is key to achieving great results.
Continuous Learning and Knowledge Sharing: Insight and expertise drive our success, and we are committed to sharing knowledge and best practices with our colleagues. We focus on continuous learning, both as individuals and as a team, to enhance our skills and help others develop professionally. We value the power of positive reinforcement and celebrate the achievements of our colleagues, no matter the scale.
Diversity and Inclusion
S-RM is deeply committed to promoting EDI in every aspect of our operations. S-RM believes that embracing diversity strengthens the company, fosters innovation, and enhances our ability to meet the needs of clients. We actively work to ensure that EDI principles are integrated into all aspects of our operations, from recruitment to leadership development. We support a culture where everyone, particularly those from underrepresented groups, feels valued and has equal opportunities for growth and success.
“We’re committed to going beyond just talk. We want to deliver real and measurable results, and that’s why each member of the Executive Committee sponsors a dedicated area of our EDI action plan.” Heyrick Bond Gunning, Chief Executive Officer
