Equal opportunity
Datavid's Equal Opportunities Policy adheres to the Equalities Act 2010, emphasizing diversity in recruitment and offering equal pay across similar grades. Recruitment strategies prioritize expertise and diversity, utilizing skills-based assessments and non-discriminatory language in job advertisements that are available in accessible formats. Notably, 60% of UK full-time equivalents (FTEs) are from under-represented groups. Recruitment panels include women and individuals with protected characteristics, and use structured interviews to ensure fairness. Additionally, 13% of UK FTEs are apprentices, highlighting our commitment to training new talent.
Retention is strong, attributed to engaging work, continuous skill development, rotational engagements, added responsibilities, and social events. Flexible and remote working options are standard from day one, accommodating diverse employee needs.
Training is conducted virtually, with accessible facilities and documentation. Employees have opportunities for public skills training with reimbursable fees. Professional growth is supported through mentoring, with 10% of UK FTEs currently enrolled in training courses.
Datavid proposes a comprehensive approach to monitoring, measuring, and reporting on Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI). This involves conducting a requirements survey with the Authority to align our policies with DLUHC requirements. Any identified gaps will be integrated into our systems within 90 days of contract signing, ensuring efficiency by maintaining a unified process for DEI monitoring.
Metrics from recruitment and professional development are crucial for managing compliance with DEI policies and for informing future recruitment strategies. These metrics are reviewed quarterly by the Core Management team and are also utilized in one-on-one staff reviews.
Data is currently managed through spreadsheets by location managers, who report these metrics to the enterprise level. These metrics are discussed in weekly meetings with the CEO and quarterly at the Core Management Meetings. Transparency in feedback and improvements is maintained through presentations at monthly All Hands meetings and an open email suggestion box for improvements.Wellbeing
Datavid recognizes its personnel as its primary internal asset and has seamlessly integrated Health and Wellbeing into its core management practices. The company is in the process of adopting the 6 Standards of Mental Health at Work, extending these to include physical wellbeing discussions i.e.
Standard-1: Program - The Core Management Team regularly discusses staff recruitment, development, and wellbeing weekly, directly managing about 40% of consultants. Other project-leaders report to the CEO weekly, with any health-related feedback either addressed immediately by project-leaders or escalated. Recruitment and promotion processes consistently emphasize diversity, disability, and inclusivity.
Standard-2: Work Design and Organizational Culture - Agile methodologies are standard across all projects, ensuring clarity on deliverables and deadlines through daily stand-ups and biweekly sprint meetings. A supportive team culture is fostered, with resources like a Technical Slack Channel available for additional support. Flexible working-conditions, including work-from-home options, help staff manage work-life balance, and monthly All-Hands meetings align employee efforts with corporate objectives.
Standard-3: Promote Open Culture - Regular one-to-one meetings with senior managers ensure that all employees have a platform to discuss work-life issues openly.
Standard-4: Mental Health Literacy - By the end of June 2023, training for managers on handling workplace mental health will be introduced, equipping them with necessary tools and techniques.
Standard-5: Use of HSE Management Standards Indicator Tool - This tool is actively used within sprint and project teams to identify and address any assistance needs promptly, with actions taken including workload adjustments, emergency leave, or the provision of a mentor.
Standard-6: Internal Escalation and Reporting - A robust system for monitoring, acting on, and reporting health issues is in place, with all concerns reviewed during the Core Management Meetings.
Through these standards, Datavid is committed to maintaining an environment that supports the mental and physical health of its workforce.
