Diversity and Inclusion
At Voys we are a diverse group of individuals, shaped in different countries, coming from different environments, and speaking different languages.
What we have in common is the belief that those differences are what drive us to be awesome. By embracing those differences, we can be inclusive to our colleagues, and to everyone around us.
- Our working language is English
- We use holacracy to work on the things we find important
Holacracy in combination with D&I
Using holacracy as a tool gives us the flexibility to work on the things we find important, all while contributing to the company purpose. That’s how we went from one person filling a role to a diverse team of 14 colleagues, all adding their own perspective to how we give people an equal voice.
Applying D&I at Voys
The team works on various projects each period based both on the necessities of the organization and which change will bring the biggest impact. Internal research completed by the team provides information and suggestions on steps we should take at Voys. The size of the company gives us the ability to conduct qualitative research and get close feedback from our colleagues on various topics.
