Partnering includes, but is not limited to, supporting recruiting and hiring.
To create sustained change in our community we must create access to information and opportunities for all. We recognize that the IT industry creates jobs and opportunities that enable people to create a lifestyle that allows them to not only meet their minimum needs, but to thrive. As such, Dev Technology is committed to partnering with organizations, colleges and universities and other institutions that promote access to underrepresented communities with opportunities in IT. Partnering includes, but is not limited to, supporting recruiting and hiring, mentorship and coaching, and supporting educational initiatives.
These are the words of Maya Angelou, a great American Poet and activist. They remind us that we must make a conscious effort to continuously do our best, learn, and grow. We commit to provide opportunities for our employees to learn about social issues including diversity, inclusion, bias and how systemic issues contribute to inequality.
“I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place.”
We commit to hiring practices that seek diverse candidates, and to ensuring that our internal corporate programs and opportunities are available to and welcoming of all employees. We commit to making sure all employees know how to engage and feel comfortable engaging in everything the company has to offer. We also commit to listening to employees. If employees have ideas of new programs, trainings, opportunities or have concerns related to diversity, equity or inclusion, we will listen and adopt feedback to ensure continuous improvements to Dev Technology’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. In addition, we commit to pay equity, where all qualified persons are paid at the same level. To ensure this is happening we will regularly review our salary metrics and make adjustments as necessary.
