CELEBRATING WORKPLACE DIVERSITY & EQUALITY BY GIVING A DAY BACK TO EMPLOYEES

Sydney, 6th March 2017: Digivizer, Australia’s leading social analytics and activations company, has made a commitment to workplace equality and diversity to recognize International Women’s Day. The company is introducing an additional day of paid leave for all employees.

CEO Emma Lo Russo explains her reasons for the decision: “I want to make the sentiments behind International Women’s Day around equality and diversity tangible for all our employees. Granting an extra day of paid leave to all employees, to be taken whenever it suits them each year, helps put the focus on work flexibility, and allows them  to acknowledge and celebrate the commitment they make, and the support they receive from their partners and families.

“One way to support every employee is to provide a flexible workplace that helps them find balance across all aspects of their life, including family, health and wellbeing.   If we define success by what outcomes we create, who we are, and the value we deliver, rather than defining how, when and where it is done, businesses and people will flourish. It should always be about results, not effort.

“If we recruit the best talent we can afford, true workplace diversity will follow.

“To  make the workplace of the future meaningful and real, we have to change now. Some of those changes will be large in scope, others simple to make. Our responsibilities as leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners remain clear: make decisions that empower all employees to be the best they can, in workplace environments that allow them to succeed.

“Thank you to all of Digivizer’s employees, for their contribution and  commitment! As International Women’s day reminds us all, Be Bold for Change!”
