Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion


At DIGITALTIES, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are essential to building a thriving, innovative, and high-performing organization. As a company developing platforms that connect consumers, private enterprises, and public entities, our goal is to create an environment where all individuals—regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or religion—feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute to our success.


We are committed to fostering a culture where every team member can perform at their best, driving innovation and collaboration. Psychological safety and openness are core pillars of our workplace, and we actively encourage the reporting of any discrimination, harassment, or inequality.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

  1. Diversity: We recognize that a diverse workforce enhances creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. We seek to reflect the diversity of the consumers, partners, and communities we serve by hiring and nurturing talent from various backgrounds and experiences.

  2. Equity: We strive to ensure that every individual has access to the same opportunities for growth and success. We are committed to addressing any barriers to inclusion and ensuring that our policies, practices, and decisions are fair, unbiased, and support equal opportunities for all employees.

  3. Inclusion: We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture where all team members feel welcome, respected, and heard. We value each individual’s contributions and are intentional about creating an environment where diverse perspectives are celebrated.


Creating a Culture of Psychological Safety

We are committed to maintaining a work environment where all employees feel psychologically safe to express their ideas, concerns, and perspectives without fear of retaliation, humiliation, or judgment. We believe that:

  • Open Dialogue: Employees should be encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences freely. Regular feedback mechanisms are in place to ensure everyone’s voice is heard.

  • Empowerment: We promote leadership that empowers team members to take initiative and explore new ideas. Mistakes are treated as opportunities for growth and learning, not as grounds for blame.

  • Support: Managers are trained to provide support, listen actively, and encourage a growth mindset, where every individual feels safe to challenge the status quo and bring new insights.


Zero Tolerance for Discrimination and Harassment

We are committed to creating a work environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, or bias of any kind. Every individual has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, disability, or any other protected characteristic is strictly prohibited.

We also have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment in any form, including but not limited to:

  • Verbal, physical, or visual harassment

  • Sexual harassment or inappropriate comments

  • Discriminatory jokes, slurs, or remarks


Reporting Discrimination and Harassment

We take every report of discrimination or harassment seriously. We encourage all employees to speak up if they experience or witness any form of unfair treatment. To ensure a safe and confidential process, we have implemented the following steps:

  1. Confidential Reporting Channels: Employees can report incidents confidentially to HR or through anonymous reporting tools. Any reports of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation will be treated with discretion and respect for the privacy of all parties involved.

  2. Zero Retaliation: Employees are protected from retaliation for raising concerns or reporting incidents. Any form of retaliation against someone who has reported discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action.

  3. Investigation and Resolution: All reports of discrimination or harassment will be promptly investigated by trained personnel. The company will take appropriate action, including disciplinary measures, to address and resolve the situation.


Our Actions Toward Building an Inclusive Workplace

To build and maintain an inclusive workplace, we are committed to taking the following actions:

  • Recruitment and Hiring: We are dedicated to building a diverse workforce through fair and inclusive hiring practices. We work with diverse talent pools, including underrepresented communities, to ensure equal access to job opportunities.

  • Training and Development: All employees, especially managers, receive regular DEI training to promote awareness of unconscious biases, cultural sensitivities, and inclusive leadership. We actively foster opportunities for mentorship and development, ensuring everyone has equal chances for growth.

  • Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): We support the formation of ERGs or affinity groups that empower employees to create networks based on shared interests, identities, and experiences. These groups serve as a platform for collaboration, support, and advocacy.

  • Pay Equity: We regularly review compensation structures to ensure pay equity and eliminate any gaps. All employees are compensated fairly based on their experience, skills, and contributions, regardless of personal identity factors.

  • Inclusive Communication: We emphasize clear, inclusive language in all our communication. Our internal policies, guidelines, and leadership messaging reflect the importance of diversity and inclusion at every level.


Monitoring and Accountability

We believe that DEI is an ongoing commitment and hold ourselves accountable through:

  • Continuous Monitoring: We regularly evaluate our diversity and inclusion practices, workforce demographics, and employee feedback to identify areas of improvement.

  • Data-Driven Insights: We gather and analyze data to track our progress on DEI initiatives and ensure that we are moving toward a more equitable and inclusive workplace.

  • Transparency: Our commitment to DEI is reflected in transparent reporting on our progress, as we aim to share our learnings and successes with both internal and external stakeholders.

We know that diversity, equity, and inclusion are key to driving innovation and building a sustainable, successful company. By fostering a culture of belonging, psychological safety, and accountability, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive, contribute, and succeed.
