  Fighting climate change

  MRI is committed to managing environmental risks that are material to our business and to reducing our carbon footprint by enhancing the energy efficiency of our operations and reducing the amount of waste that our company produces. We do this by utilising some of our own solutions with sensors in our own offices to assess our space utilization, energy usage and setting a reduction plan. As well as improving our own position, we also look at ways to help our clients work towards using services that have less impact on our planet’s scarce resources. A good example is HomeSwapper, our national mutual exchange solution. HomeSwapper enables tenants to swap homes either locally or anywhere across the United Kingdom with another social housing tenant, often to reduce their commute to work or schools which has a direct impact on carbon emisisons in the region.

  Covid-19 recovery

  We have fully embraced hybrid working and have recently formalised our flexible working model and different types of flexibility offered to all employees. We believe flexible working benefits our employees and the business. Our solutions available on this framework are all available remotely allowing our clients employees, users and contractors as applicable to work from any location in accordance with your approved working practices to allow flexibility

  Tackling economic inequality

  Our employees are all contracted and salaried fairly, in line with the Living Wage standards. All of our employees are paid at least the minimum rates as stated under the current Living Wage. We do not employ anyone on zero hours contracts and have a strong commitment to regularly review salaries in line with our appraisal process. We have a number of apprentices in the business who we are supporting to complete degree level qualifications, who all receive above the apprentice minimum wage. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package for all our staff, which includes health and wellbeing support and access to private health care.

  Equal opportunity

  We work hard to ensure our employees have a voice. Our business has various committees in place, such as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and Employee Resource Groups, such as Women & Allies and LGBTQIA+, which help us understand how employees feel about working at MRI and help us drive forward inclusive events. We have also very recently launched our first ERG – employee resource group for Women and Allies. As a business with over 250 employees in the UK we are required to produce a Gender Pay Gap report. We very much welcome this initiative and our reports are available publically on our website. This report shows the impact we have on reducing our Gender Pay Gap and also highlights the many initiatives we have underway to further reduce our gap. This includes the development of our Flexible Working and Inclusive Policies initiatives, educating our People, People Managers and Business Leaders and working with external partners to attract a diverse staffbase.

  Wellbeing

  Work hard, play hard. From the day we opened our doors, we set out to build flexible, game-changing solutions that would make people's lives better. We do this by providing our clients with solutions that enable them to provide better places to live, work, and do business. The only way to carry out that mission is to hire the best employees and keep them. We are dedicated to creating a working environment which supports and develops our staff. Some of the benefits that we offer are: Gym reimbursements, Medical assistance, including mental health tools, Flexible working opportunities, including hybrid working Employee engagement is key to MRI's success and we hold quarterly spirit weeks to both connect and enthuse our teams globally. These weeks are themed and where staff are encouraged to learn about different topics or take part in activities that they might not typically have time for. These include fitness sessions, cooking sessions, engagement with families for those working from home or targeting one big event where we can globally feel like we are one team with the same goal. We also carry out bi-annual employee engagement surveys to ensure employees can express their views.
