Equality at MS

We’re committed to building a workplace where everyone has equal access to opportunities and support. That means making inclusion part of how we hire, lead, and develop our teams.

Since 2022, we’ve made meaningful progress:

  • 200% increase in ethnically diverse employees
  • 21% of our workforce now identifies as ethnically diverse
  • Inclusive leadership training rolled out to all managers
  • Expanded mentorship programs across departments
  • Flexible working policies redesigned to support different needs and working styles

We’re especially focused on increasing representation in technical and engineering roles—and making sure all employees have the tools and support to grow.

This isn’t a one-time push. Equality is ongoing work—and we’re committed to getting it right.

Empowering Women at MS

We’re working to shift the balance in a male-dominated industry by creating real opportunities for women to grow, lead, and thrive.

Since 2022, we’ve increased the number of women at MS by 25%, and in 2024 alone, we saw a 40% jump in the number of female managers. These aren’t just numbers—they reflect targeted efforts to make sure women are seen, supported, and set up to succeed across every part of the business, especially in engineering and technical roles.

We’re continuing to invest in:

  • Leadership and development programs tailored to women
  • Mentorship and sponsorship initiatives
  • Policies that support career progression and work-life balance

Our goal is long-term change, not short-term fixes. We’re committed to building a workplace where women can lead confidently.
