Fighting climate change

We are committed to building a better tomorrow for our staff, customers and wider community through outstanding environmental sustainability performance. Our vision is underpinned by five core principles:
To protect the environment by reducing our carbon footprint
To reduce the environmental impact of our operational activities through effective management of our estate
To create and maintain a positive environmental sustainability culture
To maximise the positive impact of our sustainability actions through effective communication, collaboration and partnership
To fulfil all environmental compliance obligations and seek to exceed regulatory requirements
To achieve this vision, we continuously invest in and develop our ESG strategy to provide a structured and meaningful approach to our climate activity. Our success also relies on effective engagement with staff, utilising and developing their skills, knowledge and understanding.
We have launched a number of initiatives to reduce our GHG emissions on an annual basis, since 2018 we have seen a reduction in 36% in our total GHG emissions.
We are proactive in the property management of our offices, maintaining pressure on landlords and staff to ensure energy efficiency. Home working is facilitated and encouraged, and unnecessary travel is minimised by the delivery of consultancy, training and implementation services remotely, where appropriate. Reducing the amount of paper we generate is a key focus, and we use recycled paper - which we then recycle ourselves. We have also taken steps to recycle other materials such as plastics, food and cardboard. We comply with WEEE regulations and recycle our electrical items. All our UK based offices are entirely using green electricity and we have undertaken an office consolidation project to minimise unnecessary carbon expenditure.
We are focused on our transition to a Cloud service company ensuring our customers have solutions which are future proofed and don’t require costly or energy inefficient hardware.

Covid-19 recovery

In the event of a similar incident OneAdvanced has a documented Health and Safety policy regarding Covid-19 Arrangements, which focuses on handwashing, hygiene, self-isolation and social distancing.
As part of our transition to hybrid working we provided all employees with the materials and processes to allow them to work at home indefinitely. In the event of a similar incident all staff are able to work from home for as long as is required. This allows them to prioritise their health and safety and avoid risk of transmission.
Working from home is undoubtedly challenging and may have a negative impact on the wellbeing of our employees. We provided guidance for staff working from home to stay connected e.g., quizzes, coffee mornings and time allocated for informal catch ups.
We have also made changes to our approach to visiting customers on-site. Where appropriate, training and consultancy can be provided virtually.
With the increase in remote work and changes in the software landscape we have invested significantly in digital transformation and cyber security to ensure the safety of the business, employees and customers. This includes protection of personal data.

Tackling economic inequality

OneAdvanced is committed to tackling economic inequality. We are renowned for our recruitment processes which seek to eradicate biases that can perpetuate economic inequality. We hire for potential rather than based on experience.
Our commitment to tackling economic inequality is also exemplified in our pay reporting transparency. In addition to the legal requirements to produce a Gender Pay Gap Report, we have also released our Diversity Pay Gap Report to ensure accountability and so that we can take steps to address economic inequality within our own employee base.
As we develop as an organisation and embrace our role in bettering society we are building features into our products to assist us in tackling economic inequality. One example of this is our education software that is used by prisons in the UK to help educate individuals that have been in the prison system and broaden their opportunities for education. Another example is the service we provide to many NHS offices across the country which allow them to act more efficiently and see more patients each day.
A focus of OneAdvanced is to commit to increasing our community outreach. As part of our strategy we are planning to implement a regular schedule of community education workshops for local schools, colleges and other groups. Examples include ‘How to get started in Tech’ and coding classes. Each employee is entitled to 1 paid day they can use to volunteer for a cause close to their heart including those that are aimed at helping those from lower socio-economic areas.
Our learning and development team are in place to allow our staff the opportunity to develop their skillset and further their professional career. This can allow disadvantaged individuals to increase their opportunities to secure high paying jobs both within the software industry and outside of it.

Equal opportunity

Cultivating a diverse workforce and inclusive culture is a priority for OneAdvanced. Diversity of experience, age, race, ethnicity, culture, gender and sexual orientation provides a wide range of talent from entry level through to our leadership teams creating richer perspectives and a powerful frame of reference.
Not only is it right to recognise and celebrate differences, and ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive, but creating a culture that is genuinely committed to a meritocratic workplace is important to our success. Ensuring all our employees understand and engage with our values, and have the opportunity to realise their full potential, is fundamental to our business.
We have published 4 Diversity Pay Gap reports that extend beyond the legal requirement for gender to ethnicity, sexuality, education, disability and socio-economic status. This data provides transparency and will aid us significantly on our journey to creating a fair and equitable workplace for all.
OneAdvanced is delighted to have been announced as one of the top 100 Diversity Leaders of 2020 across UK businesses following an independent survey carried out on behalf of the Financial Times. The award assesses diversity across gender, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation, and ranks organisations in Europe on the extent to which they offer diverse and inclusive workplaces. The survey focused on two broad areas, looking at the scale in which employers promoted diversity within the workforce, and identifying companies that stood out when it came to encouraging diversity and equal opportunities.
OneAdvanced is renowned for its innovative recruitment process, which seeks to eradicate bias – unconscious or otherwise – when hiring. In our recruitment, we use tools that give us additional insight into intellect and attitude, and remove CVs from the interview process, so managers go in without preconceptions.

Wellbeing

We take wellbeing very seriously at OneAdvanced, employees have access to the following initiatives to promote wellbeing:
Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a 24/7 phone line where our employees can speak to a trained professional regarding any matters. Whether that is related to their current workload, or whether it is related to their finances for example. This service is 100% confidential.
The Wellbeing hub on our internal website is central point for resources, such as the Thrive app to which our employees have an access code. In addition, the Hub is a link to our partnership with Perks at Work who offer discounts and classes for wellbeing, fitness, and meditation.
Our offices have been made more friendly and accessible than ever before as part of our office changes brought on by the new, flexible ways of working. All our offices now contain a ‘wellbeing room’, sharp boxes for needles and free sanitary products in all bathrooms (available to guests as well as our staff).
We are undertaking an exercise to update our employee value proposition and undertook research to identify what factors employees themselves want. This was done so we can provide benefits that our employees will value from the most and benefit their health and wellbeing.
