As rightly quoted by Marco Bizzarri – Diversity and inclusion, which are the real grounds for creativity, must remain at the center of what we do. And at Stratus, we make every day diligent efforts to practice and incorporate diversity and inclusion values through constant communication and connect with our employees across departments, work locations, job functions and management status and hence, ensuring smooth functioning of remote working culture. The Company firmly believes and aligns that this mutually evolving practice needs to spread and adopted across all offices, departments, teams, individuals, employees and even to external interested parties that may require to understand it and co-ordinate their interactions with the requirements. A culture of this kind that involves personal as well as business relations may not be straightforward to establish, understand and regulate. We perceive this as a symbiotic and mutually growing relationship and association where we as an organization ensure and support our employees to accomplish their aspirations while aligning with our Vision to assure optimal solutions are found, conferred, and agreed upon.

We continue to make progress in building a more diverse workforce. For instance, the number of women in tech roles at Stratus is increasing. This diversifies perspectives, knowledge and beliefs coming from many sources including gender, race, age, national origin, sexual orientation, culture, education, and professional and life experience. Stratus remains committed to diversity and inclusion and always look for ways to scale our impact and innovation as we grow.

We have through our time, effort, company policies and strategies achieved a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to the organization’s success.
