Positive impact on people

Health and well-being is important for us. We strongly believe that exercise, healthy food, and room to breathe is of utmost importance, for our employees to thrive and grow. 

We have undertaken an assessment of various facets of health and well-being within the organization, encompassing mental health support, physical environments, physical activity, work-life balance, and family-friendly policies. An observation in our audit is an increase in long-term sick leave. We acknowledge that private matters can be a root cause in long term sick leave and are difficult to prevent, but we want to address every employee's need to accommodate mental pressure. 

We consider:

• Sick child policy

• Offer health insurance options proactive and preventive

• Promoting non-alcohol events

Our main aim 2024:

• We define an action plan for early signs of stress related symptoms

• We define new guidelines for illness registration to gain more in-depth insight into sickness in general.

In a diverse and inclusive workplace, everyone feels involved. No matter who they are or what position they hold. It's essential that this feeling is present throughout the workplace and is expressed in all layers and initiatives, to also ensure equality and belonging.

In 2020, only one out of four employed IT consultants in Denmark was a woman (Danmarks Statistik). And in 2022, fewer than one in three enrollments in IT education programs were women (Ministry of Education and Research). This is naturally reflected in our recruitment but also inevitably feeds our bias.

Based on our gender representation data, it is evident that we have significant progress to make in achieving a more equitable gender balance in leadership. Although there are no instant solutions, we acknowledge that improvement is imperative.

We consider:

• Fair recruitment, promotion, onboarding, assessment, and work-life in Adapt

• We want to be an inclusive workplace to all employees 

• We ensure to have a physical workspace accessible to all, including those with disabilities

To us, being socially responsible is about caring for parts of our society that shape our future. It’s looking towards communities and systems where we can improve the social capital and keep empowering our employees to be the best version of themselves, capable of helping where help is needed.

Whether it's nourishing our full-time employees’ bright minds with our new educational fund or bolstering students in ongoing internships with a sincere hope that our students become full time employees, personal growth is what will keep us delivering exceptional digital products we can be proud of, and that’s why it’s alpha omega to us. 

As the facts show, we are involved in various community-reaching activities - the most profound being our collaboration with ReDi School of Integration.

We consider:

• Starting a walk-in-my-shoes program for the unemployed.

• Giving back open-source packages - code and design, that is not client-restricted to educational institutions.

• Engaging more with IT educational institutions for free lectures on development, design, and UX.

Our main aim 2024:

• Improve utilization of the educational budget for all employees.

• Maintain an avg. conversion rate of 4 new student internships/apprenticeships to full-time employees per year.

• Increase collaboration with ReDi School of Digital Integration

We believe that philanthropy is grounded in the notion of utilizing one's resources to improve society and enhance the welfare of others. A fundamental aspect of philanthropy is the absence of an expectation for personal or company gain or receiving anything in return.

Adapt does not have a long history in philanthropic efforts or involvement in charity.  This has never been either strategically prioritized or present in our daily work. We want this to change.

We collaborate with some of the largest NGOs in Denmark; Danish Red Cross and Oxfam Denmark. Even though we are immensely proud of these collaborations, we do not consider this philanthropy, as we receive payment for our work. We do however believe that these organizations must be a fundamental part of our client portfolio and that we therefore must do our utmost to contribute to their success.

We consider:

• Invest time in non-profit organizations in our client portfolio

• To engage in our local community projects

• Establish a distributed team across agencies in our network to work on a shared philanthropic goal.
