DATAMATICS  DIVERSITY CHARTER

Diversity Charter

At Datamatics, we believe our strength lies in our differences. It is what makes us unique and brings together the best in each one of us. With this belief, we started working towards building a more diverse and dynamic workforce and aimed to have one of the best male-female ratios in the industry.

Datamatics Diversity Core Representation

We have a four-pronged approach Attract & Hire, Engage, Encourage, Retain which constitutes our Diversity core. All our diversity initiatives revolve around these four themes.

Datamatics Diversity Charter - Complex problems need diverse solutions:

Extending the concept of Diversity beyond just gender to also but also Generation, Qualification, Culture, Experience, Ability, Thoughts and Opinions.

On International Women’s Day, We launched the 'Datamatics Diversity Charter', formalising our continued commitment towards Diversity, not limiting it to the only gender but also Generation, Qualification, Culture, Experience, Ability, Thoughts and Opinions. Bringing in more focus on a) Equity in the Workplace, b) Affirmative Actions, and c) Inclusive work Environment, all based on merit. While some programs like Welcome Back are currently in practice, new initiatives like (Wo)Mentoring, i.e. Women Mentoring Women, have been rolled out in a phased manner.

Leadership Commitment:

The Datamatics Leadership team continues to ‘Unify to Amplify’ our voices, to BreakTheBias, and progress towards a gender-equal world.

“Working after a kid, can work,” and we as an organization welcome it!

With this thought in mind, we appreciate and welcome a lady back into the workforce post her Maternity Leave. In the current remote working scenario, we have adopted the virtual way of e-Welcoming Back our colleagues with a special personalized ‘Welcome Back’ e-card while extending support from the HR side, thus, being Socially Distanced yet, Mentally Connected with all of them.

Since the launch in the first year we saw 80% of the women continuing with us, wherein, 19% of them have completed an year or more with us, while 33% percent have completed a minimum of 6 months to one year. Now as we approach the second year anniversary in Covid times, we currently see 75.6% women continuing with us.
