At Company, we are a people-centric business focused on being at the heart of progress for our customers and our communities. In 2022, we introduced The Company Way — how we define our differentiating services-led culture that is based on collaboration, mutual responsibility, and excellence as we aim to be an employer and partner of choice. Since then, we have been transforming our culture through new behaviors, systems and symbols to embody these principles and ways of working. For example, we trained Company’s nearly 6,000 people managers in Leadership Behaviors workshops. We launched Leadership Development@Company — new, contemporary curriculum, workshops, resources, and tools for people managers to develop and hone their leadership skills. We also rolled out Company Leadership Behavior training and badges to help all Companys activate The Company Way in their roles. We are proud that within our three years of our culture transformation, this extensive effort resulted in 88% of Companys stating that their manager’s behavior is consistent with The Company Way.

Company CEO Martin Schroeter actively inspires Companys to adopt our culture - what we call The Company Way - that is restless in pursuit of learning and innovation, empathetic in how we show up for each other, and devoted to shared success with our customers and partners. From his quarterly sessions where he shares business updates and celebrates successes to his global travels to Company locations to meet and engage with our people, he leads the way at putting our distinct culture at the heart of the decisions the company makes and the behaviors, systems and symbols the company adopts, reinforces, and rewards. Based on his leadership, our company values have driven our transformation of everything from performance management systems to simplification of procurement processes. In his own words: "As a services business, Company puts people at the center of everything we do. It's a principle that underpins our culture and our long-term growth, guiding how we show up for our customers and for each other every single day."

Empathy is a core tenant of our culture. Our Empathy & Inclusion Index — an aggregate of workplace trust, respect, and belonging measurements — is above the industry average and approaching best in class. In our engagement survey, 90% of Companys feel they are treated with respect at work and 87% feel they can be themselves at work . In three years as an independent company, we implemented offerings that Companys tell us make them feel heard and valued, including: our Company Inclusion Networks (employee-led resource groups open to all Companys and dedicated to creating spaces where they can find and provide support and advice), Company Be Well (our comprehensive well-being strategy brought to life through a range of programs, benefits and policies that support Companys’ physical, mental, social and financial well-being), sponsorship of communities of interest like environmental groups, Industry Guilds, Culture Ambassador Networks and local Company Cares volunteer activities year-round.

In 2022, we introduced The Company Way — a set of six key principles that define our services-based culture: We want to be restless, empathetic and devoted in the way we engage with one another, our customers, partners and communities; and we want to organize ourselves to be flat, fast and focused to better serve our customers as a true services organization. The Company Way is about how Companys work together and deliver value; it’s foundational to our business growth. Being at the heart of our customers’ progress, we innovate — and seek the best outcomes for our customers as they drive their digital transformations. Part of this innovation is due in part to our investment in collaboration tools as we spun out from our old company and sunset legacy tools. Our massive Guild program promotes the global exchange of industry knowledge, technical ideas, professional learning, and innovative techniques. They harness Companys’ combined intelligence and diverse perspectives to fuel collaboration and professional growth. Another proof point of collaboration: our technology consulting, delivery, and alliances experts around the world collaborated to develop Company Bridge, an open integration platform that leverages Company’s data-driven insights and expertise to provide more visibility into customers’ complex technology environment. These unique insights enable Companys to collaborate and innovate in service of customers to provide exceptional service.

Our benefits reflect what Companys tell us will best support them and their families. Beyond competitive compensation and a flexible workplace policy, we provided all Companys in our leading markets with access to a range of benefit programs, including health plans, life and disability insurances, pension plans and different leave entitlements, including vacation, parental and sickness leaves. Globally, we offer a minimum parental leave policy of 20 paid days, and programs that support the physical, mental, social, and financial well-being of Companys under our Company Be Well strategy, including a global EAP offering. We provide same sex partner coverage in 44 countries, and gender affirmation benefits in 35 countries, where these programs exist in the market. In addition to global benefits, we offer benefits to meet local needs, including a variety of competitive medical benefits.
