Our Approach

Adisys helps in creating fair and inclusive workplaces and communities and focusing our efforts on four dimensions:

Promoting Gender Equality in all Forms

Adisys is in this business domain from 1988 and from then onwards, promoting gender equality has been core to how we do business globally because we believe that having a gender-balanced workforce should be a given. We want people of all genders to have equal access to growth and opportunities in our workplace.

We believe that gender balance fosters creativity and innovation, and ultimately drives better business results. When women reach their full potential, businesses and society are stronger and more successful.

Standing against discrimination based on culture, ethnicity, and origin

We want to foster an inclusive culture by:

Having a zero-tolerance policy against racism in our organization.
Addressing unconscious biases among people.
Ensuring the fair treatment of all our employees.
Raising awareness, fostering respect, and understanding differences.
Connecting Human Resources department with Employee Business Groups to support minorities by creating safe spaces for mentoring, addressing issues, and recommending change in our workplace.
Empowering local minorities by partnering with local businesses to create opportunities for all.

Hiring and providing Equal Opportunities to People with Disabilities

Adisys does promote applicants to let us know during first stage of recruitment process on any on disability info to be mentioned in application enabling communications to support the inclusion of people with disabilities.
We strive to recruit, engage, develop, and adjust in the way we work and to our workplaces so that we can attract talent and support our employees with disabilities, helping them to reach their full potential.
A non-discrimination policy regarding people with disabilities.

Being mindful of generation gaps

The differences between generations can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunication, but in a workplace situation, if we raise awareness of these differences and harness everyone’s individuality, it can have a huge impact on the way we work together and will help us perform better as a business.

Diversity and Inclusion in Action

Adisys is committed to be an equal opportunity employer and is promoting and fostering a culture of diversity and equal opportunities and to providing inclusive workplaces everywhere we operate.
We want our teams to be as diverse as the world itself, and contribute to build communities where everyone belongs, feels safe and valued.
Our societies consist of people with disabilities, people of different color or nationality, people of different gender and age. These characteristics have nothing to do with their ability to do a job. So, it’s our responsibility as employers to give equal chances to everyone: fair treatment during the hiring process, objective evaluations and rewards and equal pay.

Staff Diversity

Adisys engaged staff and management to ensure staff diversity throughout the organization at all levels of employment, fosters an inclusive workplace environment with a welcoming atmosphere, and links staff diversity efforts to the public. Each year Adisys operates staff Diversity Initiatives that offers professional development through workshop, conferences and mentoring opportunities. We value the diversity of all our staff and the enrichment this brings to our community.

Recruitment Diversity

Adisys put into practice of hiring candidates using a process that is free from biases for or against any individual or group of candidates. It is still merit-based recruitment and still aims to find the best possible candidate, but it’s structured to give all applicants, regardless of background, an equal opportunity.

Job Auditing Our strategy to recruit diverse candidates is by doing audit of past recruitment ads and make changes to speak to a broader range of candidates.
Targeted SourceAdisys talent pool is full of diverse candidates from a variety of different places
Referring the connectionsFor hiring more of a specific group of people, we reach out to some of the employees already on our team who are part of that demographic and encourage them to share job ads
Our leadership principlesLeading inclusively is in our key focus. Leading means inspiring by respecting and embracing everyone’s unique skills and perspectives.
Work-Life FlexibilityNSI recognizes the importance of Work-Life Flexibility in enhancing performance, motivation, productivity, and efficiency on a sustainable basis.

Anti-Racism

Adisys believes in social justice. We are against racism and discrimination in all their forms. Adisys is both proud of the work we’ve done to date to address biases and racism and ethnic relations, but we are very aware that we also have much more work to do. The entire organization is working through tangible actions we can take in addition to important conversations we are requiring our entire team to have.

We want to foster an inclusive culture by:

Having a zero-tolerance policy against racism in our organization
Ensuring the fair treatment of all our employees.
Raising awareness, fostering respect, and understanding differences
Client engagement on ethnicity and racism

Plans & Strategy

Adisys have been identified and implemented diversity and inclusion initiatives to address issues and created a more comfortable working environment for all employees.

Adisysdeveloped an action plan to implement these initiatives by setting realistic goals and starting with the elements that have the greatest business value or that are readily achievable to build momentum for the initiative.
Adisys approached managers and equip them with messages to inform, educate, engage or empower employees where appropriate. The communication plan incorporates executive presentations, social media posts, internal newsletters, intranet and email communications.
Adisys used metrics and success stories to connect the diversity and inclusion efforts to its own goals and strategic plans.

Adisys Diversity Programs Outcome

Adisys makes sure that diversity and inclusion initiatives are having a positive impact, it is essential for our organizations to measure the results of the programs that have been implemented.
Outcomes such as an increased representation of identified groups and improved employee satisfaction are two of the most important metrics to track. Other measurements, such as improved employee retention, public recognition and awards also indicated how Adisys is performing in its diversity and inclusion program.
Our measures indicate the success levels of action items. Our diversity training is implemented to increase retention, employee retention can be tracked over time, and employees can be surveyed to determine if the training was a factor, and how much so, in their continued employment.
The results of the initiatives have been communicated at all levels to demonstrate the return on investment and value-add to the organization. Communication tools include infographics for senior leadership meetings, memos to staff and company videos for potential candidates.
