Employees collaborate throughout our company through Lunch & Learns, Capabilities Communities, and our People & Culture Team.
Our employees can collaborate with in-person and virtual Lunch & Learns presented by their peers. Anyone in our organization is welcome to host a Lunch & Learn on their desired topic. This way, our team members are encouraged to take initiative in sharing knowledge across the organization.
We also have internal “Capabilities Communities” for each of our services. Our “Capabilities Communities” offer a space where team members can share and advance their knowledge in key areas of the business, offering continuous growth and learning opportunities.
Our People & Culture Team offers a collaborative space for team building through internal social events, community outreach, and social clubs. Monthly community outreach opportunities allow our team members to engage not only with each other, but also their local communities.
Ignite Digital Services employees have a positive vision for the future because of transparency at the executive level regarding new initiatives and annual goals. At the start of 2023, our leadership team presented objectives for the year including headcount growth goals, a new office location, capabilities expansion, and career paths. We ensure that our employees are updated on progress for each of these objectives at our quarterly All Hands Meeting.
At Ignite Digital Services, we show respect and ensure that all voices are heard and ideas are valued throughout the company by engaging our organization’s leaders on the topics that team members care most about. For example, we allow our employees to drive the structure of quarterly All Hands Meetings by surveying which topics are most important and impactful to our team members.
Additionally, our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Team has established a partnership with Paradigm, a leading DEI consulting firm. Based on Paradigms analysis of our DEI efforts, we've created a roadmap to strengthen our diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. This comprehensive plan will help guide us as we continue to build a more inclusive workplace.
We support our employees in achieving their professional and personal goals by offering clear Career Paths that map mobility opportunities within our organization. These career paths lay out exactly what requirements are needed to achieve professional goals.
Additionally, we support our employees in achieving their goals by offering several continuous learning opportunities. Udemy is a comprehensive, interactive learning management system that enables seamless learning and development opportunities for all IDS employees. Using this platform, our team members can achieve their professional goals by taking courses relevant to their focus areas.
We also offer all IDS team members an Annual Professional Development Allowance of up to $1,000. Many of our employees use this allowance to gain role-specific certifications (such as a PMP) that advance their professional growth. We’ve also developed a 6-month-long Manager Training to arm our managers with the necessary knowledge, training, and skills to become effective leaders.
Ignite Digital Services’ Core Values are aligned with our employees because they’re designed to foster continuous innovation and growth, which are central to our mission-critical initiatives. Our Core Values include integrity, service, leadership, collaboration, and diversity. These values encourage team members to work together to unlock the fullest potential for themselves and our clients.
Ignite Digital Services has a few programs and practices in place that create a Loved Workplace. Our Performance Recognition Award Program offers spot rewards to employees for a job well done. We also spotlight team members in our monthly newsletter by including a Core Values Award and Kudos Corner in each edition. We also have an internal “Shoutout” channel on Microsoft Teams, where all IDS employees can recognize each other in real-time.
Our CEO serves as a model of our company values by being engaged and present with employees at all levels across our organization. His team-based approach to leadership encourages executives, managers, and staff to work together to collaborate on ideas and solutions, in-turn driving the most value for our clients. His leadership style also promotes people-forward culture, where all team members are encouraged to take charge of their professional development with the continuous learning opportunities outlined above. Further, our CEO is present and engaged at company-wide meetings and events, making him an accessible resource for all team members.
