At Civica, people matter. They’re at the heart of everything the company does and the ones who bring the Civica brand to life. This is possible only because of an open ‘people-centric’ culture and the same shared values that pull in the same direction. Civica encourages a culture of giving back to society by motivating team members to go above and beyond their daily duties.
Acknowledging that innovation is essential to growth and remaining competitive in its markets, Civica’s Leadership Team has committed to promoting innovation at all levels throughout the organisation.
Civica’s commitment to inclusion and diversity is underpinned by the premise that organisations perform better when they have voices from a wide range of backgrounds. Civica’s commitment to D&I includes regular leadership panels to promote the understanding of diversity, an employee D&I committee, a focus on recruiting that acknowledges and supports workplace diversity including part time and flexible working, and manager training to understand and support different styles of working. A recent D&I initiative is the establishment of the Agents of Change (AoC). AoC brings together a group of D&I grassroots champions focused on driving education, awareness, and identifying initiatives that support the development of women and create a culture of inclusion. AoC activities include informal mentoring meet-ups to focus on employee career paths, personal goals, and motivation.
