MAINTAINING A SAFE & DIVERSE COMPANY CULTURE Our Approach Building and retaining a diverse staff means ensuring every person feels they have a place. We encourage cultural contribution versus cultural fit at Fairware. A safe culture means honoring and respecting others and committing to working and educating ourselves about difference, inclusion, and acceptance. We know the lines have blurred between office and home and we work to make our hybrid culture one that is engaging and adoptable. We aim to, at a minimum, reflect the demographics of our city Vancouver, which as of the 2021 Census was 54.5% of non-European descent. We benefit from maintaining a diverse workforce as they bring their individual perspectives insights and values - and this collectively make us a better team.
Our Actions
> DIVERSE HOLIDAYS In the office, we celebrate (and learn about) the many cultural and religious holidays that our employees celebrate (e.g. Diwali, Nowruz, Eid).
> DOG FRIENDLY We have a dog friendly office, so team members can bring their furry friends to work.
> HYBRID WORK We provide a hybrid work environment with work from home and remote work flexibility.
> STAFF ‘CLUBS’ We support staff led clubs that are based on common interests and include run club, bike club and salad club. We also have an informal gear borrow/exchange program.
