Social Value

Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

Since the inception of iProov, we have dedicated ourselves to being an equal opportunity employer. We have built an accessible workspace close to transportation to assist those who are disabled and created an environment that promotes accessible technology and facilities for those who are neurodiverse. As of 2022, we have committed to focusing on employees' wellbeing by providing mental health resources, growth and learning opportunities and implementing training to continue to build an inclusive culture. We pride ourselves in having a wide range of employment and training opportunities, providing current and future talent within industries with known skill shortages or high growth. This range starts with Computer Vision Research Engineers to Threat Intelligence Analysts to Software Engineers and Product Managers, giving variety to the diverse skills that we have. By doing this, we are actively tackling inequality in employment, skills and pay in the workforce, not only by providing the opportunities but the ability to grow and develop themselves. We have invested in a learning platform that gives all employees the opportunity to develop new skills and build expertise in areas that they excel in or in new areas, if this is what they choose to do. Alongside this, we have actively benchmarked all roles within the company to ensure pay fairness for all, regardless of gender.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

One of our main focuses for 2022 is surrounding work/life balance by changing our policies and benefit packages to focus on our employees' wellbeing. Our goal is to provide proper mental health support for all employees by giving them on-demand care and resources to allow them to put their wellbeing first. We acknowledge that DEI is an area that we will continue to grow into, but we are proud of the impacts we have made and will continue to make.
