Progress in diversity until 2022. Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity (DEI)

Apr 22, 2023

Equity, diversity and Inclusion (DEI) is not just an outcome of a checklist exercise.

We are determined to integrate DEI strategies into our daily actions as a basic method for creating high-impact teams and products. Why? because we believe that creating an appropriate environment for our employees. A company culture that is honest, transparent, respectful and in the society. It will enable each employee to realize their full potential and provide better outcomes for our clients. This will result in more positive outcomes for us as well as our shareholders as well as our larger community.

We know that genuine change can only be achieved through honesty and openness. In the year 2022, as we think about it I'm proud of our achievements in the key areas of our work, but it is clear that we can make progress on certain aspects.

The areas for Improvement

It is essential to have the broadest range of employees We are very pleased with the progress we have made so far.

Over the last year, we've redoubled our efforts to build an all-inclusive pipeline of potential applicants for new positions Our goal is to make sure that at least 30 percent of candidates who undergo our process of interviews originate from minorities that are not considered to be marginalized.

Additionally, we are aware that the change process starts with the highest levels. We have therefore taken the clear the decision to raise the proportion of women in the Executive Committee.

Each ECG could serve as a source of information and information, a point of communication, and a place of safety for those who aren't represented and those with less privileges. ECGs are crucial to creating and maintaining a broad, and inclusive workforce.

Our ECGs in 2022 brought the team to a day of growth, learning and enjoyment with more than 20 activities as well as activities that featured discussions on burning out, entrepreneurship and psychological health. having a panel discussion on professional development for NYC students, to attending an evening class on making cocktails in collaboration with a business run by Africans.

The future looks bright: DEI goals for 2023.

We're proud of our accomplishments until 2022. But we're also committed to helping move forward to 2023. We're focusing on two major areas of our work this year:

  1. We're increasing the variety of our team members with the inclusion of more diverse team members
  2. We aim to build a warm and inclusive environment for each and every Vimean

Team representation goals

To establish our representation goals for 2023 and beyond, we reviewed the responses and data from the survey we gave to employees via the "Voice of Vimean" as well as up-to-date information regarding the distribution of our employees' demographics and other reports, such as those by EEOabout representation, EEOabout representation, along with the latest research regarding representation in the technology industry which includes these Statista report and the one by Womentech. Based on our study and analysis of data, we've discovered the three major options, as well as five new targets that need to be fulfilled regarding representation.

*Benchmark data is built on EEOC information, and is then processed through various sectors

An inclusive culture

In order to achieve the goals of representation inside our heads We are currently creating new programs aimed at developing employees, in addition to providing a place to all types of gifted individuals.

70% of the DEI budget is devoted to internal programs that provide equality and accessibility to those who belong to historically excluded groupings. The rest of the budget is used to create future development strategies as well as recruitment strategies for our employees. It is used to:

  • Integrating internal programs that concentrate on managing the inclusion of people, guidance on career paths as well as support
  • Advancing our diverse supplier efforts
  • We're able to give more clarity regarding our leveling and compensation arrangement for current and future Vimeans
  • It is easier access tools that make work more friendly. This means that we can to use tools to support inclusion of languages in meetings or interviews, as well as accessible practices that are the best practices.

Our aim is to utilize DEI strategies for building strong teams and product. We've gained a lot of experience and are now on the path to fulfilling our goals. The year 2023 is upon us with more knowledge and determined to achieve more impact quicker. It is possible to do this by making DEI practices that are part of our routine. We are responsible for doing this and are excited to publish our findings shortly.
