  Covid-19 recovery

  When the world locked down to combat the COVID-19 virus, we took immediate action to ensure our colleagues had the equipment and resources they needed to work from home, which also enabled success for our users. Our global task force provided continuous communication, education, and support services to our colleagues. Their wellbeing fuelled our response plan, and we created learning resources to support them throughout the pandemic. These resources included guides and practices for managers to lead virtually with empathy, tips for maintaining team collaboration, and resources and support for colleagues to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

These initiatives include building a pipeline of diverse candidates by recruiting at and partnering with Historically Black Colleges and Universities. ; We also partner with educational and professional organisations to provide internships, scholarships, grants, and projects that support groups underrepresented in technology. ; Bentley has active and engaged colleague resource groups within the Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Alliance (IDEA) that have allowed colleagues, during this pandemic, to join their peers from all regions and departments with the goals of building community and fostering diversity and inclusion. IDEA currently has four focus groups open to all global colleagues: OpenPride, OpenAbilities, People of Colour in the U.S., and Women at Bentley. IDEA has been a platform for education and a place to securely have difficult discussions about racism, discrimination, and bias through book clubs, panel discussion, speakers, and global awareness events. Members of executive management are key sponsors of each focus group and have been instrumental as sounding boards and in providing access to resources and the executive team.; We have implemented robust training with topics focused on respect in the workplace, identifying and overcoming bias, and anti-discrimination. We have held interactive sessions with our executives, emerging leaders, and talent acquisition in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion and eliminating unconscious bias, and have implemented training for hiring managers to ensure fairness in the interview process.; You can find additional information, including our commitment to anti-slavery on our ESG website: https://www.bentley.com/en/esg/data-center
