GoGift’s Global Workforce. Diverse, yet Inclusive
At GoGift, we are aware of the increasing importance of cultivating a work environment where talent is comprised of motivated individuals from different backgrounds sharing innovative ideas and working collaboratively. It is our job to foster an open-minded workforce, and we have realized it has welcomed itself naturally into our global journey. Is this pure coincidence? We don’t follow quotas but believe in human beings and what they can achieve, irrespective of their background, preferences, and characteristics that make them unique. However, that does not mean we don’t have work to do.
The motivation comes from our end, making sure a sense of belonging is a constant, along with feeling comfortable and respected. And if challenged, it is openly addressed through empathetic communication. We are responsible for ensuring a friendly, flexible and engaged workplace for the most valuable part of our company: our employees.
We have put diversity and inclusion at the forefront of our goals. Why? Because for us being global isn’t just about reaching out to the entire world; it’s about understanding different needs and finding solutions that build stronger relationships and reduce fears when addressing difficulties that do and will manifest themselves because we are human.
There is a fundamental component to promoting diversity and inclusion, and it lies in differentiating the two. Some might think they are one and the same, but like paper and pencil, they need each other and our helping hand to leave a mark.
Diverse…
Every organization should pride itself on being diverse by working together to respect individualities and help each other grow to understand and appreciate cultural differences and perspectives. Learn to embrace change and adaptation.
At GoGift, we provide a space where good values, talent, an open mind and a positive attitude to work and life are the key drivers in creating equity within our workforce. This has encouraged an atmosphere of equal opportunity without gender barriers. We are proud of the women at the forefront of GoGift — 63% of our employees are women — with many in leadership positions like our CFO, Sales Director, Head of HR and Director of Legal & Compliance, to name a few.
Diversity isn’t just about different races, ethnicities, gender identities, and sexual orientations. It is about being attentive to your employees’ needs: working together and inspiring each other every day. But just as communities change and evolve, so does diversity. We need to be able to adjust our approaches to fit into the mindset of today, reflecting a more open and proactive society.
... Yet Inclusive
Employers have a clear commitment — to put their employees above all. You embrace inclusivity when you strive to create anemployee-centric culture. With our global humanistic approach, we have managed to attract and retain talented individuals from 22 different nationalities and diverse backgrounds into our growing team.
What we want to emphasize is that diversity and inclusivity should essentially be an organic part of every work environment. The challenge is in nurturing and celebrating difference to maintain it, and that is where our efforts should be applied.
The future of your business relies on the best interests of your workforce.
