Social Value

• Fighting climate change:

  Fighting climate change

  Adatis have commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050. However, we actively seek to reduce the carbon emissions of Adatis already by utilising the follow key policies: • Encouragement of hybrid/remote working and remote meetings Adatis is a pure IT consultancy and as such encourage remote working as much as possible. Whilst the impact of Covid-19 has seen many organisations change their policies this has been a stablemate of Adatis. We have always encouraged remote working to reduce the need to travel, and when teams are required to meet face-face we try to schedule so all team members are available on a single day, as opposed to multiple trips to the office. • Environmentally conscious travel Travel, where required, is designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Public transport is the preferred method of transport but where usage of vehicles cannot be avoided car sharing is the norm. Adatis do not offer company cars to consultants to encourage the use of public transport with only the 4 Directors being eligible. All 4 Directors have fully electric vehicles, and we provide charging at our offices which are available to all staff to encourage the uptake of EV’s. • Recycling Adatis also provide recycling facilities and do not use single use cups in any of our offices and purchase some items in bulk (snacks etc.) to reduce the amount of packaging. By providing excellent employee facilities we also reduce the number of “take-away” plastic cups brought into the offices.
• Tackling economic inequality:

  Tackling economic inequality

  Adatis commit to having active policies to ensure we are a diverse organisation internally and we meet the Model Award Criteria. Currently we operate: 1) Apprenticeship scheme 2) Flexible working is offered to our staff, including the ability to work part-time, to encourage more people into employment without discriminating against those unable to work full-time 3) Training – all staff are offered and undergo training, often outside of their core role, to encourage the creation of additional skills and our staff are offered the chance to utilise those skills in moving into different internal roles 4) Mentoring and coaching – all staff are assigned a mentor, (but not management) to assist them with career growth. We publish defined objectives each member of staff have yearly appraisals. We utilise a system that allows all staff to request feedback from any other member of staff at any point during the year to help achieve those objectives. 5) We adhere to all Government policies including Minimum Wage and the Modern Slavery Act. We have also undertaken a number of specific actions to encourage Women in Technology. This includes our member of the “Women In Tech” organisation and we participated on the panel during the recent Microsoft Inspire conference. We also run a number of days in local schools, where we talk about technology, the opportunities with a particular view of encouraging young females to follow a career in technology. As a specialist organisation Adatis appreciate that there is a shortage of Big Data & Analytics skills in the public sector - all of our projects include the objective to transfer knowledge to close this gap.
• Equal opportunity:

  Equal opportunity

  Adatis are an equal opportunity employer. To assist with this we offer an inclusive working environment where participation is encouraged with many non-work activities sponsored and organised by Adatis. Our recruitment process is well defined to ensure it is open to all with defined skill-based assessments being used in technical interviews. We actively encourage promotion in our employees with fair and transparent criteria and invest in training, alongside providing consultants with space-days. We have appointed STEM ambassadors to help the wider community with a career. To ensure we do not discriminate during the recruitment and selection of new staff we focus on: • Role Profiles – Each role within Adatis has a clearly defined mission, associated set of skills and responsibilities associated with it. The existence of these role profiles ensure that we are able to objectively measure a candidates suitability for the role; • Job Adverts – We strive to ensure that our job adverts are carefully worded to ensure we do not unconscious discourage candidates from applying. We also clearly state that we are looking for people from groups that typically experience discrimination. • Candidate Interview – During the candidate interview process we do not ask questions based on any of the protected criteria outlined in the act. We set a standard set of questions for each interview to ensure that regardless of the interviewer or candidate we are able to fairly assess any candidate • Objective Scoring – Fair assessment requires objective score. Each interview is scored against a set of criteria derived specifically for the role. • Record Keeping – We keep formal records of all our interviews and the objective scoring that results. • Data Analysis – We constantly review our performance in terms of recruitment and selection to assess how well we are performing.
• Wellbeing:

  Wellbeing

  Our vision “To be the data analytics company most admired for its people, culture, and innovation Adatis core ideology is People First where the priority is wellbeing, connection, and fulfilment. Therefore, our values underlying construct is centred around employee’s wellbeing but specifically called out in one half of our value “build with heart and balance” where the habits we promote are to maintain a good work life balance. Time off projects is monitored to ensure that people are taking time to not only develop and grow but to reset and refresh. This is also why we monitor holidays quarterly, those who have not taken breaks are encouraged to book leave. We have a Workplace Wellbeing team whose members are from across all business areas and who are responsible for initiatives and building awareness. They organise guest speakers on wellbeing topics as well as promote and celebrate wellbeing days. This group is also an alternate contact to the People Team where individuals can raise concerns for themselves or other team members and signpost to our Mental health first aider. We are currently looking to offer Mental Health training across the group of companies. We conduct monthly pulse checks via our Employee Net Promoter Scores survey as well as an annual global engagement survey with one of the topics discussed being wellbeing and how we can improve. We have extremely low attrition rates for our industry sector and low levels of sickness absence. Through our integrated approach to wellbeing, embedded in our culture and supported by our leadership, we are proud of our track record regarding employee wellbeing.
