At the end of 2022, Orienta received the prestigious gender equality certification, which signifies commitment, responsibility, and social sustainability.
Diversity and inclusion are two core values for Orienta, a company that aims to enhance the contributions of both genders in order to create a balanced and diverse environment.
At Orienta, gender equality is fostered internally starting with the very first interviews with prospective employees. Recruiters are trained in gender equality and the cognitive biases that can negatively impact the selection process. Thanks to their expertise, human resources specialists can ensure a merit-based selection process for all candidates. Managers and colleagues evaluate employee performance regardless of gender, which guarantees complete objectivity and allows everyone to thrive professionally.
The gender equality certification was officially established in 2021 under Article 4 of Law 162/2021, and Orient is the first employment agency to receive it.
"We are extremely proud to have achieved Gender Equality certification in such a short time and to be pioneers in our industry," said Valeria Giaccari, co-founder of Orienta, "but at the same time we know that this achievement is not an endpoint, but rather a starting point, a strong impetus for the future development of our entire corporate culture toward inclusion and integration."
