How Diversity Can Drive Innovation

At Ultima, we strive to be an inclusive community along with the support of our valuable workers. Our talented employees operate in close partnerships with businesses and have a vast amount of knowledge, understanding, experience and ideas.

We recognise that having a diverse workforce brings in new visions and capabilities which allows employees to learn from one another. It’s obvious really; if you employ an extensive and inclusive workforce from many ethnic backgrounds, ages, disabilities, sex etc you’re inviting a wide range and variety of experience, points of view, beliefs and ideas into the mix. Bringing in unique views and perspectives, leads to healthier problem-solving that drives innovation, which is at the heart of our industry.

Ultima’s values include Passion, Integrity, Respect & Autonomy and we embed them in everything we do and represent, we believe these encourage employees to be respectful of others, passionate about sharing knowledge & offering support. We want to empower our employees with making their own decisions and enabling an environment of growth and development. We strive to create a culture that inspires employees to succeed and foster creativity through a variety of different activities. These include running our very first hackathon where we will be utilising the powerful minds of our employees to create new market solutions and products. This will be run along with a series of other blogs and internal marketing activities as part of Ultima’s Innovation Month throughout July!

PwC’s latest diversity & inclusion benchmarking survey found that 87% of those surveyed had identified diversity and inclusion as being of value or a priority for their organisation. When job searching today employees want to work in companies where they can be themselves and share their opinion. With a diverse team, companies are better able to attract top talent, as well as to improve employee satisfaction, and therefore, engage and retain them. We’re an equal opportunities employer who provide a range of training and development opportunities across the company. We have a central employee voice portal that allows employees to feedback any suggestions or improvements they have for the company, which are raised directly our the board of directors.
