Why Work For Us

We’re proud to be given a three-star accreditation from Best Companies in 2021, which showcases that we are a ‘world-class’ organisation to work for.  
 
Best Companies is an unbiased, independent organisation that sets the standards for workplace engagement. Their accreditation is based on a score that comes directly from our associates’ opinions.  

We want everyone to feel welcome at MSC, which is why we are striving to create an environment where you feel like you belong, and you can be your true self at work. That’s why we have partnered with the EW Group; experts in equality, diversity and inclusion, who work with businesses on addressing unconscious bias and building a more inclusive culture. This includes having our leaders and associates attend sessions on diversity and inclusion in the workplace, as well as joining their 2021 pledge to support an inclusive culture. We have also adapted how we celebrate holidays including recognising celebrations and events from across various cultures. 

Your well-being matters to us, both in and outside of work. That’s why we’re accredited by Thrive At Work at a Foundational Level.  
 
They support employers in promoting health and well-being in the workplace and offer guidance on policies and procedures to support mental and physical health and promote healthy lifestyles.

Our strategy behind looking after your well-being is focused on Mind’s ‘Five Ways of Well-being’:

• Connection: As people, feeling close to and valued is a fundamental human need, and social relationships are a key part of this.
• Physical activity: Regular exercise offers various physical and mental health benefits contributing to our overall well-being. It has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety, making it a crucial element in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
• Being in the moment: It can be all too easy to let life pass you by, but studies have shown that being aware of the moment can help with mental well-being.
• Continued education: Whether it’s a new skill or language, learning throughout your life can improve your self-esteem, as well as give you more opportunities to connect with other people.
• Giving: Getting involved in volunteering or charity work can help us feel better, which is why we offer a variety of volunteering opportunities.
