Embracing Diversity, Nurturing Equity, and Fostering Inclusion: Mergen IT's Commitment to Building a Thriving and Harmonious Community
Mergen IT is committed to building an inclusive and equitable workplace that values diversity, fosters respect, and promotes equal opportunities for all employees. We recognize the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as part of our business strategy, and we are taking action to promote it.
Effective leaders in DEI share many traits, including self-awareness, agility in learning, effective communication, and the ability to influence others. However, there are additional characteristics that are essential to achieving success in DEI, such as awareness of its importance, a commitment to it, and the ability to take action.
Policies such as guidelines for reporting bias, & harassment are key to impacting and influencing diversity and inclusion in the workplace. At Mergen IT, we have established clear policies that are understood & applied consistently. We also review any leave policies to ensure they are equitable.
Monitoring critical lagging indicators such as hiring, promotion, and attrition trends is key to successful talent management. This helps us identify best practices that exist within certain teams. Employee engagement surveys can be used to gather important input about a workplace culture of inclusion.
Programs like educational training and discussion forums are important for creating an inclusive and equitable workplace. However, these programs are only effective if they are accompanied by policy, process, and leadership commitment. An astute DEI strategist will design plans that balance programmatic efforts with mid- and longer-term infrastructural investments.
At Mergen IT, we believe in building an inclusive culture that provides identical opportunities for all employees. Our DEI policy is driven by our Code of Conduct and Ethics' first tenet of "Equality," which indicates that we do not categorize or allow harassment based on any status. We comply with all applicable laws prohibiting discrimination against any candidate or worker.
To ensure progress toward our DEI goals, we measure our success through surveys, focus groups, interviews, and employee engagement platforms. Our data-driven approach helps us assess the effectiveness of our initiatives and make necessary changes as needed. We also seek feedback from outside experts on how we can further improve our organization’s practices.
Allow our IT professionals to identify your company's needs and help you
save time and the cost of your business.
