Fighting climate change
At CyberIAM, our environmental footprint is significantly smaller than similarly sized organizations due to numerous different factors which are built into our core business processes. We are an entirely paperless business, eliminating our reliance on paper for printing. CyberIAM also utilises a public cloud environment for our IT infrastructure, minimising our environmental impact, as resources are shared across Microsoft’s datacenters. We do not house our own data centres, keeping our carbon footprint small. We are also committed to recycling and re-using IT hardware, which is recycled wherever possible by approved suppliers, to guarantee that the hardware is recycled in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Furthermore, plastics are not used in any CyberIAM offices or for any business processes.Covid-19 recovery
As an organization, CyberIAM responded quickly to the Covid-19 pandemic, enabling our employees to work from home and continue to do so as they wish, allowing for flexibility. This enables CyberIAM to adapt to any COVID-19-related challenges and to provide our services at all times without disruption. CyberIAM regularly holds company meetings and virtual social events which allow everyone to communicate and socialize without risk. Now that staff are permitted to return to offices, there are suggestion boxes for employees to anonymously let us know about anything that would help them carry out their duties safely and comfortably. CyberIAM’s offices also have COVID-19 rapid flow tests, hand sanitisers and temperature monitors available at all timesTackling economic inequality
At CyberIAM we are committed to diversity, inclusion and equality. Our employees hail from all around the globe and are all paid higher than the national average in each territory.Equal opportunity
Our equal opportunities policy is in place to enforce our firm belief in equality for all. Everybody at the company has the same opportunity for training, recruitment and selection. Our jobs are advertised to a diverse audience and our employees come from around the world including the UK, South Africa, Spain, Philippines and Australia. We specify that our initiatives need to include gender representation and typically under supported, disadvantaged groups. Most recently CyberIAM celebrated Eid in April and May 2022. We also offer a women’s support network group for the women in our company of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds.Wellbeing
Our offices are stocked with fruit, snacks and drinks to support the health and wellbeing of our employees. We also have a social committee who organize and run events for the company, ensuring everybody gets to have fun and socialize if they wish to. We have an open-door policy where people are encouraged to share and resolve any worries they have; we work with our employees to ensure they are happy and comfortable, e.g. flexible working hours to accommodate childcare needs. We work hard for our inclusive and supportive culture where everyone and their views, beliefs and goals are respected.
