The Approach
Our organizational approach is based on our Mesh organizational method. Mesh is an open, regenerative culture formed around the tenets of connection, visibility and trust; employs the lenses of COG: Core, Operational and Global; and applies the conditions of ORBITALS:
- Open
- Regenerative
- Balance
- Information flow
- Trust
- Awareness
- Learning
- Sustainability
Skills-based
We use skills-based hiring and develop skills-based discovery and deployment models.
What do we mean by skills?
We mean the range of skills an individual may have, including what may be called hard and soft skills, competencies, aptitudes, etc.
Why is skills-based hiring important?
We believe skills-based hiring is important because it prompts a focus on the skills rather than the individual (and the biases that can exist).
We also acknowledge that disadvantage can result in restricted opportunities, as well as a lack of formal awareness and recognition of skills. To address this, we have contributed to global skills-based initiatives that aimed to expand and improve pathways to learning and skills recognition, and it is an area we are constantly looking to improve.
Our Ambition
Our ambition is to:
Fully understand equality and diversity issues and our responsibilities in addressing them.
Empower our staff to respect differing viewpoints, hold honest conversations, and identify reasonable adjustments.
Promote cultural and behavioral actions that embed balance, equality, and diversity within our organization.
Continually collect feedback from collaborators and staff on matters related to equality, diversity, and skills-based hiring practices.
