Establishing a Corporate Culture That Recruits & Retains Top Talent
Dignari focuses on establishing a strong and positive corporate culture to recruit and retain top talent, improve employee engagement, and drive business success. Our commitment to quality is a company-wide mission focused on client satisfaction, empowering our Dignarians, and relentlessly rising to the standards of our organization. Dignari is guided by six essential values that are critical for our continued growth and success:
Clear Communication
Trust & Transparency
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
Recognition & Appreciation
Professional Development & Growth
Work-Life Balance
Clear Communication: Clear communication is essential for building trust and fostering a sense of shared purpose among employees. With a largely remote workforce, clear and consistent communication is critical to ensure all Dignarians understand corporate goals, expectations, and how their role fits into the larger picture. Dignari strives to create an environment where employees feel comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns and can easily access the information and tools they need to do their jobs effectively. We have implemented a variety of communication channels, including the monthly internal Dignari Digest, quarterly Executive Briefings from the Leadership Team, regular team meetings, and an internal social media platform to ensure that employees are kept informed about company developments and can easily collaborate with their colleagues.
Trust & Transparency: Building trust between employees and management is crucial for fostering a positive culture and being transparent with employees about the company's performance and decision-making. Trust is essential for building strong relationships among employees and fostering a sense of loyalty to the company. Dignari's Leadership Team is committed to communicating our goals, efforts, and initiatives, being transparent, open, and honest about any challenges or setbacks we may face. We have established an open and honest communication culture where all Dignarians are encouraged to share their ideas and concerns.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB): DEIB is at the core of who Dignari is as a company. By embracing our employees' diverse perspectives, experiences, beliefs, backgrounds, and strengths, we build teams that reflect the areas we work and live in while promoting equitable results for our clients and communities. This approach enables Dignari to provide opportunities to maximize diverse talents, skills, and abilities within our workforce while demonstrating accountability and commitment to advancing our DEIB efforts in all facets of our business. We have implemented policies and initiatives to promote DEIB efforts across the organization, including a formalized DEIB Committee, multiple Employee Resource Groups, diversity training, and recognition and celebration of multicultural events throughout the year. Through these efforts, we ensure that all employees feel valued and respected.
Recognition & Appreciation: Recognizing and appreciating employees' hard work and contributions helps build a positive culture and create a sense of employee engagement and motivation. Not only do these efforts improve morale, but they also increase job satisfaction and commitment, contributing to lower turnover rates. At Dignari, we acknowledge and reward employees for their hard work and contributions. We have implemented various recognition programs, including Thanks.com, an engagement platform to instantly recognize our employees' hard work and efforts. This platform has helped keep our culture alive with its employee engagement strategies, team incentive programs, and showcasing the importance of employee recognition. Dignarians are also eligible for spot bonuses throughout the year for their contributions supporting client delivery, business development, and employee referrals. Additionally, Dignari hosts a mix of virtual and in-person employee events throughout the year, including happy hours, team outings, and a family day! We also make sure to give regular feedback and appreciation to our employees to make them feel valued and appreciated.
Professional Development & Growth: Offering opportunities for employees to learn and grow in their roles helps retain top talent and contributes to a positive culture by showing the value Dignari has for employees and their professional development. We strive to be the best and the brightest in the industry. Dignari is committed to investing in our employees' professional development and growth to further expand their skill sets and knowledge. This, in turn, positions the company to continuously improve upon the suite of services, solutions, and expertise we offer our clients. Dignari has implemented various professional development programs to support these efforts, including training and development opportunities, internal Lunch & Learns, memberships with trade associations, and opportunities to attend industry meetings and events.
Work-Life Balance: Encouraging a healthy work-life balance can help to reduce stress and burnout among employees and contributes to a positive culture by showing that the company cares about the well-being of its employees. Dignari recognizes and supports the need for our Dignarians to have time to attend to their personal and family needs. Dignari is proud of our continuous commitment to fostering an industry-leading flexible workplace culture.
Building a strong and positive corporate culture is essential for the continued growth and success of our Dignari. The "Dignari Difference" values everyone's voice by creating a sense of inclusiveness, respecting our employees' unique needs, viewpoints, and contributions, and providing continuous learning opportunities that develop and empower all of us to be our best—together.
