Iansyst Statement on Racial Inequality

All of the team at Iansyst wants to make a stand against racial inequality. We are a team with a shared sense of purpose, to help disabled people through the use of technology and support, and we believe in equality for all.

To bring about positive developments for greater equality, we recognise that we should challenge ourselves and make changes. In recent weeks, we have started to explore the issue of unconscious bias, to become more aware and discussing the subject to gain different perspectives, we’re already experiencing better practices as a result, including our approach to recruitment.

Diversity has become a key part of our strategy, we have appointed a Diversity and Inclusion Senior Manager and have dedicated more resource to build an inclusive workplace.

Together, we want to make a difference and we are committed to do all we can in our area of expertise to help reduce racial inequality.
