Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy
Vestra Stay's DE&I Policy
At Vestra, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for our employees, clients, and partners. We believe that embracing diversity, promoting equity, and ensuring inclusion allow us to provide more innovative and effective services, while also creating a positive workplace for our team.
Our Commitment to Diversity
We recognize and celebrate the rich diversity of our employees, clients, and partners. We thrive on the unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that individuals bring to the table. Our commitment to diversity encompasses race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, and cultural background. We ensure that everyone, whether part of our team or one of our partners, feels respected, valued, and represented.
Equity for Our Employees and Clients
Equity is central to our mission of providing fair opportunities for everyone. We are committed to ensuring that all employees have equal access to opportunities for career growth, development, and advancement, and that they receive fair pay, recognition, and support. For our clients, equity means delivering services that consider the diverse needs of their customers, ensuring that accessibility and inclusivity are integral to all strategies and recommendations. We work to create a more equitable industry, where every individual has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or identity.
Inclusion at Every Level
Inclusion is at the core of how we operate. We strive to create a workplace where every team member feels a sense of belonging and is empowered to contribute. We foster a culture of open communication, where diverse perspectives are heard and respected. For our clients, inclusion means helping them deliver experiences that are welcoming to all customers. We assist in creating spaces and services that promote a sense of comfort, respect, and inclusion for everyone who interacts with their business.
Tailoring Services for a Diverse Client Base
As a company serving a wide range of clients, each working with diverse communities, we recognize the importance of providing tailored services that reflect cultural sensitivities, preferences, and the needs of different demographics. From advising on inclusive marketing strategies to recommending accessibility improvements, we ensure that our services help clients create welcoming and inclusive environments for their customers. This includes considerations for dietary preferences, religious observances, language needs, and accessible accommodations.
Zero Tolerance for Discrimination and Harassment
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination, harassment, or exclusionary behavior within our company and in the work we do with clients. We are committed to creating a safe and respectful environment for all employees, partners, and clients. Any concerns or reports of discriminatory behavior will be taken seriously, and swift and appropriate action will be taken to address such issues. Everyone deserves to work and be served in an environment where they feel valued, respected, and included.
Collaboration and Community Engagement
Our commitment to DE&I extends beyond our company and into the communities we serve. We actively collaborate with diverse suppliers, partners, and community organizations that share our values of inclusion and equity. By working with businesses owned by underrepresented groups and supporting community initiatives, we contribute to building a more inclusive and equitable industry, positively impacting the communities in which we operate.
This DE&I policy is an essential part of our mission to create inclusive and welcoming experiences for all. We will review this policy regularly to ensure it reflects our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
