THE FAIRNESS

EMPOWERING GIRLS
WITH CODE
Employees at United Colors
of Benetton have the freedom
to reject the performance
appraisal rating given by their
manager if they believe that
it is not fair. Such a case goes
to the Head of Department
and the discussion is held
again with the intervention
of Human Resources. It’s
important for organisations
to focus on creating a
performance experience rather
than a mere process.

Cultivating a transparent
work environment, all
guidelines and policies
at Quovantis are decided
democratically and not
imposed upon the teams. Under
this unique initiative, they run
a live poll to seek feedback from
employees on the company
policies and guidelines. The
polls are conducted during the
company update sessions and
give a real-time understanding
of how well a policy has been
received by the employees.
Involving employees in
important decisions helps
fostering a culture of trust at
workplace.

Girls Who Code is an
acclaimed program that aims
to educate girls in computer
sciences. Since its launch in
2012, Girls Who Code has gone
from 20 girls in one classroom
to graduating 3,000 girls
from clubs and camps across
the world. Adobe proudly
supported Girls Who Code for
the fi rst time last year, hosting
20 students from across the
country to learn everything
from graphics and animation
to mobile app development.
The girls stayed at Adobe
headquarters in San Jose for
seven weeks during summer,
fully immersing them in their
technology and pairing them
with volunteer Adobe mentors.
