Diversity is a fact, inclusion is a choice

How do we do it at Monterail?

OUR STATEMENT

We want everyone in our company to be treated with the same respect, kindness, and patience; no matter who they are, where they come from, or what they believe in.

We are a company where words like diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords.

This statement aims to support a community of inclusion at Monterail. Where our co-workers feel included and accepted. To feel free to share their opinions with others, inspire, and give feedback, no matter their:

• Background
• Family status
• Gender
• Marital status
• Sexual orientation
• Native language
• Age
• Race/ethnicity
• National origin
• Socioeconomic status
• Religion
• Beliefs
• Role or seniority

Naturally, our company was created with growth in mind. However, it is and always will be important for our growth to be healthy and steady. Grow quickly enough to be a top competitor but slow enough not to get lost in the whirlwind; while still having time to put things into perspective and readjust if needed. Making sure that diversity and inclusion in our company doesn’t suffer as we grow, is key for everyone.

How do we make it work?

Fostering diversity: Monterail's path to innovative excellence

Since starting the company in 2010, we have strived to create an environment where all people feel accepted and valued. This has been my experience from outside the business world. However, I quickly learned that maintaining diversity at Monterail has brought us and our clients value by facilitating creativity in our team, who in turn, can create better software.

Diversity opens up new perspectives that shape the business and deliver results

I strongly believe that everyone should have equal chances to pursue their career goals - whatever they may be. Obstacles can be hidden and hard to spot, especially when you’re part of the dominant social group that tends to be decision-makers in most organizations. However, it’sworking with and learning from a diverse array of people makes you a better specialist, leader, and person.

We shouldn't shy away from diversity

It's essential to immerse the whole team in the topic of diversity and share with them the importance of it. We shouldn’t shy away, but rather embrace it and work towards maintaining an ongoing conversation. Recently we held an inspiring event in cooperation with a well known audio streaming service. I was happy to see lots of people from our team joining in and contributing towards such an important matter.

Software is people

It’s people’s needs that are addressed by software, it’s people who figure out how to make it happen, and finally, it’s people who create it. Being such an essential part of the creation process, it’s important to make sure that every person feels equally comfortable and equally engaged. It’s also our obligation to others as human beings. There’s still much to do ahead of us.

More diversity is needed in the tech world

I believe the tech world and IT in particular need to be more diverse. Research has been done and proven that more diverse teams work better. Fortunately, today there is more discussion: there are different approaches to tackling Diversity and Inclusion but it’s not possible to avoid talking about it anymore.
