Tarmac<\/a> has received the Clear Assured Silver Standard award in recognition of its dedication to inclusion and diversity<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Clear Assured<\/a> Standard is a globally-recognised accreditation that is awarded to businesses that can demonstrate a commitment to inclusion<\/a> and diversity.<\/p>\n

It is achieved by completing set tasks. Among the key initiatives highlighted as part of the award were the launch of a REACH (religion, ethnic and cultural heritage) employee community, completion of neurodiversity<\/a> awareness training and work to create internships with the Social Mobility Foundation.<\/p>\n

Louise Houston, head of inclusion and diversity for Tarmac, said: “Embedding I&D into our business has been key to achieving the Silver Standard from Clear Assured and this has been a significant team effort right across Tarmac.<\/p>\n

‘Outstanding leadership’<\/h3>\n

“We would not have been able to make the progress we have without outstanding leadership and a commitment to implementing initiatives which enhance our support for employees at all stages of their careers. We know that we still have a way to go but we\u2019re very proud of the foundations we\u2019ve set in place.”<\/p>\n

Anna M\u00e4kinen, head of clear assured, added: “By achieving Silver Standard at Clear Assured, Tarmac has expanded workplace diversity and embedded I&D throughout the employee experience through measures such as ensuring benefit packages are inclusive and accessible, and incorporating flexible work arrangements where possible to improve inclusion, growth and trust.<\/p>\n

“With this in mind Tarmac is aiming to set new goals and move towards making greater impact both internally and externally, and we are delighted to continue assisting them in achieving their vision and mission.”<\/p>\n
