Our mission is to deliver strength through diversity and unity through community. We are committed to building a culture where difference is valued and everyone can be themselves at work. We believe that diverse points of view foster creativity and innovation and we embrace people who look at the world from different perspectives.
Why DEI matters to us
We want Stuart to be a safe and welcoming environment for every person who joins our team regardless of their gender, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability. We’re creating a workplace where employees not only feel that their differences are respected, but also celebrated. With our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) program, we intend for each Stuwie to be comfortable in their own skin, recognised as a unique individual and secure that they belong in our community.
When every team member is empowered to contribute, great things happen. In line with our foundational values, we aim to ensure employees have a safe space at work to be the best version of themselves: to engage in the learning process, ask questions and give feedback, use their skills and knowledge to develop solutions, speak up and challenge the status quo. As individuals, teams and a company, DEI is a critical part of how we grow together.
