Fighting climate change
Wiser Tribes is a small, very adaptable and flexible business without the commercial overheads of larger businesses, such as fixed office premises. This helps us target a net zero carbon footprint for Wiser Tribes.
We adapt to our clients priorities and change our working approach to our clients needs, such as working on-site, working remotely, or at an offsite short-term rental office if needed. We don't have plans to invest in long-term office premises that could potentially be under utilised. This gives us the flexibility to rent office space close to our clients.
We use public transport wherever possible. Should consultants need to work some distance from home, we encourage them to find accommodation for the duration of the project close to where they’ll be working, which reduces the carbon impact of a daily commute and also benefitting the local economy.
We are aware of the growing interest around the carbon footprint that can be generated by digital technology and encourage people we work with to consider a green approach in how digital services are procured and used when supporting high volumes of users. This could be something as straightforward as reducing unnecessary email communication.
We have worked on many high volume services where consideration has been given to analysing the positive impact of, seemingly small, changes to the environment.Covid-19 recovery
Covid-19 recovery
The Covid-19 pandemic has hit communities and impacted the fabric of society and working environment. We have paid particular attention to the mental well-being of our remote teams and made changes as needed to ensure each individual has the best working pattern and environment to continue to be part of the team, feel productive and deliver successfully.
This involves us focusing on recruitment and retraining associates. We also provide work opportunities for those left unemployed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Mentoring is key to our social values. We are keen to work with organisations and individuals and are keen on looking for opportunities to support people and communities recover from the impact of Covid-19. We recognise that some governmental departments have a return to work policy so we work with clients to understand their preferred working environment to ensure each Wiser Tribe associate is placed on a contract most suited to their personal circumstances.Tackling economic inequality
Tackling economic inequality
We recognise that some of the best candidates may come from environments where they have been economically challenged. Equal pay, fairness and providing opportunities is a foundation principle of Wiser Tribes, regardless of gender, age, orientation, disability or race. Our pay structure is fair and based on the individual skills set, ambition and ability. Our ethos is to continually develop all of our associates through coaching, training and mentoring. We have created a supportive environment where we lead by example and we build confidence to perform and succeed regardless of background.
We are also keen to ensure we place our candidates as close to the place of work as possible or we ensure we compensate them through expenses if they have to travel far distances due to work commitments.Equal opportunity
Equal opportunity
As a diverse group of people, we value cultural differences and approaches in the workplace and recruit people into our network in an inclusive way.
We actively promote inclusion in our resourcing including the following considerations:
● Women in IT
● Minority representation
● Disadvantaged backgrounds
● Returning to work
● Local economy
We also aspire to retraining or transferring skills. We’re keen to spot existing talent from other disciplines and offer retraining where we think a candidate shows the right attitude and aptitude. This adds value not just for the individual but also for the organisation that will reap the benefits of their work.
We are proud of our mentor-led approach, working directly with our clients, supported by our extended network of consultants, delivering human-centred solutions to business problems. We can work with your staff at any level of experience and help them improve and learn the skills needed to deliver the services that we build together.
We understand the skills needed for digital transformation, but more importantly, we understand the kind of mindset required for an agile project to be delivered successfully and work with our clients to help them foster this approach.
We have an in-depth understanding of GDS at all stages of assessment, and we leave our clients with the knowledge and skills they need to continue to deliver long after we’ve left their projects.Wellbeing
Wellbeing
We work with our clients and consultants to encourage a flexible working environment which allows everyone to attain a good work-life balance, especially in challenging circumstances, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic. We’ve paid particular attention to the mental well-being of our remote teams and made changes as needed to ensure each individual has the best working pattern and environment to continue to be part of the team, feel productive and deliver successfully.
We always work with individuals to understand and appreciate any personal challenges they may have, both hidden and visible, and agree how we can cater for specific needs, without prejudice or detriment to any individual or to the work we deliver.
We ensure we share and agree best practices and we encourage debate, intellectual curiosity and building of trust both with internal and external team members. Online collaboration, blog articles and community wiki pages are key to our well being of staff members.
We have therefore committed between 5% to 10% of our teams time to be focused on non-delivery activities including personal wellbeing and development.
