Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives

Datamatics Global Services Limited has recognized the underutilized potential of the educated and skilled physically-challenged professionals. Such individuals have shown a tremendous zeal to learn and are highly motivated to succeed against all odds. Datamatics has provided such individuals an opportunity to contribute to the organization's growth while ensuring that they too benefit through the Knowledge Associates (KA) programme.

Datamatics has tied up with a non-governmental organization called NASSEOH (National Society for Equal Opportunities for the Physically Handicapped) and Amar Seva Sangam where nearly 60 physically-challenged individuals work as Knowledge Associates in the Outsourcing Management Team. Apart from these, nearly 20 KAs work from home.

Through the KA programme, Datamatics has provided such individuals the satisfaction of being financially independent, thus improving their status in society. The programme is tailor-made for individuals who cannot commit themselves to full-time employment or travel any distance to the place of work.

Datamatics has also enabled the NGOs to provide opportunities for the physically-challenged by donating PCs to facilitate their IT set up. Trainers from the organization visit the NGOs and homes of the KAs to conduct training and feedback sessions. In some instances, a mentor co-ordinator is stationed at the NGO for 3-6 months to co-coordinate training & hardware setup.

As professionals, Datamatics treats the physically-challenged KAs on par with other employees, while ensuring the project managers take extra care and show empathy while managing these KAs.
