Because strengthening an inclusive culture is based on listening to and understanding the employee’s expectations, performance and job satisfaction are also pillars on which the company relies.

“DIGI group in Romania means over 14,600 dedicated professionals, who respect their profession and respect and support each other, representing a whole with a huge force that has constantly proved its efficiency, but especially in the last year. Considering the recent challenges, the company reconfigures the elements that support the needs of the new employee profile, such as: communication, emotional support, motivational levers, solutions for technological approach and flexible work processes as a whole.

Empathy and solidarity are key elements cultivated through various mutual support projects and internal communication actions. Digi Awards is an example of annual program recognizing the performance of our employees, an internal contest that in 2020 was conducted exclusively online, involving all employees in the country and in which 51% of the nominees were women,” said Camelia Maria, the Director of the Human Resources Department.

The complex universe of diversity is found, within the DIGI company, both in internal policies and regulations and in the strong commitment of the management team to recognize and respect the individual differences, while evaluating the employees’ contribution to the development of the business. Also, through communication and awareness actions, the company’s top management shares to all levels of responsibility of the company the principles stated in the Diversity Charter, to which the group adhered in 2019.
