Equality Policy

About this policy

At SIMUL we are proud to champion equality through innovative practices that empower all employees to thrive. Our approach goes beyond compliance, our focus is always about creating a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

Breaking Barriers with Flexible Working

Research shows that 74% of UK women take on the majority of childcare responsibilities, compared to 26% of men. Traditional workplace structures often leave women at a disadvantage, limiting their ability to balance professional and personal responsibilities. At SIMUL we address this imbalance by offering flexible working arrangements tailored to individual needs, design our roles to encourage applications from a wide range of candidates and ensure our recruitment process is structured. This allows our team to deliver their best at work while managing their commitments outside of the office.

Transparent and Fair Pay Practices

We believe in rewarding talent and effort fairly. Our salary banding system, combined with a competency matrix, ensures transparency and objectivity in pay decisions. This structure eliminates bias, providing equal opportunities for progression and ensuring that employees are paid based on their skills, contributions, and nothing but their value to the business and not their gender.

A Balanced Workforce

Our commitment to gender equality is reflected in our workforce statistics. Across the company:

  • 50% of our Board roles are held by women, our senior leaderships team is 31% women.
  • Our flexible working policy has led to an increase in female retention after maternity leave.

Supporting Success for All

We know that achieving equality isn’t just about policies—it’s about fostering a culture where everyone feels supported. From flexible working hours to structured career development pathways, we equip our team with the tools they need to succeed, both professionally and personally.

At SIMUL gender equality isn’t just a goal; it’s a responsibility we’re proud to lead on, creating an environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our shared success.
