Putting our people first
At SMS, we’re committed to putting our people first. This means we’re always looking at ways to improve our employee experience, driven and inspired by a diverse and vibrant company culture.
This is reflected by our five core values:
Safety
Sustainability
Customer Excellence
Innovation
Pride
As a business, we encourage everyone at SMS to live by these values, and regularly reward our people for demonstrating them. Thanks to this philosophy of recognition and engagement, our people truly understand what our culture and brand stands for.
Celebrating our differences
We strive for sustainability in everything we do, including the cultivation of a positive, diverse, and inclusive working environment which attracts, retains, and develops our people. We treat our employees and applicants fairly and equally, with decisions on recruitment and selection based solely on objective and job-related criteria.
Above all, our company is one that always looks to celebrate our differences – a notion enshrined in our values and reflected by our membership of various employer best practice schemes.
