Diversity & Inclusion
For a better tomorrow
From small things to the bigger picture
Saying hello to a colleague in the morning, helping others, invite people outside your team to meetings och activities. These are smaller things that we do that will have an affect on the bottom line. Having an inclusive and humble culture is key to build a diverse work place and to have a successful business.
At Columbus we do a lot of activities within diversity and inclusion. From small things such as saying hello to bigger picture goals.
We aim to have a representation in Columbus of male / female of 60/40 by 2027. The number today? 70/30. And also that every employee has equal opportunities for progression. A clear career path for everyone.
We also do a lot of local initiatives - here you can read what our colleagues in India are doing.
Diversity and inclusion in recruitment
By having a recruitment process based on research, data and fairness we are able to attract and recruit diverse talent. We will recruit for right competence and treat all applicants fairly.

Awareness
It starts with the requirement profile. In our global requirement profile, we are including the topic "Gender diversity in the team" to continuously increase the awareness of equality within the organization, as a step to reach our goals. And always question the qualifications - what do we must have and what can we teach?
-
Job ads
We care about our job ads being gender-neutral, welcoming, and tempting for everyone! To ensure that we mind our language and avoid lengthy bullet-lists. Do you have feedback on our job-ads? Reach out and let us know.

Assessments & Competency based process
With assessments, case-interviews and competency based questions we are able to hire candidates for their potential and what they have achieved - not on how many years of experience they have or if they play golf or not.
