People

IDEMIA values the skills and dedication of our people and recognizes the critical part they play in the company’s success. IDEMIA is driven by a spirit of openness, equality, fairness, and safety for all; and a desire to create diverse and inclusive working environments to make IDEMIA the workplace of choice.

As a culturally diverse company, with employees of 80 different nationalities, IDEMIA is engaged in a series of CSR actions for the good of our employees worldwide.

Inclusion, diversity and equality

IDEMIA is committed to promoting the values of inclusion, diversity, and equality in all departments and at all levels of the business, to reflect the 62 countries in which we operate.

In 2021, IDEMIA is releasing our Diversity & Inclusion Declaration, reinforcing our ambition to cooperate, assist, and encourage each other as one IDEMIA—in line with our core values: Daring, Caring, Trusted, Curious and Together.

Well-being at work

IDEMIA’s management is committed to safeguarding employee health and safety, both at the usual place of work and in the course of business travel. IDEMIA focuses on embedding a strong culture of prevention, ensuring the clear definition and communication of health and safety responsibilities for all through the Health & Safety Manual.

IDEMIA has adopted a program of deploying ISO45001 (ex-OHSAS 18001) certifications at sites.
The company’s health and safety objectives are to:

• Preserve the health and safety of the workforce, significantly reducing the risks of occupational diseases and accidents.
• Include the evaluation of health and safety impact at the product development stage.
• Communicate on health and safety actions and results.
• Comply with all applicable health and safety legislation.
• Educate and train employees to be aware of the health and safety stakes and to adhere to the company policy.

Health and safety performance indicators are measured across the business.

IDEMIA delivers a worldwide system of protection to our employees when they travel for business purposes. A dedicated Travel Risk Officer oversees the safety profiling of countries and premises to be visited, with traveling employees having access to a risk monitoring and alert platform.

Labor practices

Per its UN Global Compact pledge, IDEMIA respects labor rights: upholding the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of forced and compulsory labor, the abolition of child labor, and non-discrimination in employment and occupation.

Diversity, non-discrimination, transparent and fair recruitment, mobility, training, equal opportunities, anti-harassment and anti-bullying are just some of the areas in which IDEMIA has established policies and procedures, always ensuring compliance with relevant labor laws.

Employee engagement

IDEMIA highly values our employees and their incredible passion and skills that drive the business. Part of what makes IDEMIA a workplace to be proud of is the culture of open communication between the company and our international workforce. Everyone has the right to receive clear, transparent communication on matters which affect the whole company, such as general working conditions and business change. Social dialogue is installed at IDEMIA and we take pride in our interactions with employee representatives at different sites.

What’s more, each year employees are given the opportunity to express their level of engagement through a poll, to gauge satisfaction levels and to reach out for employee feedback on events and developments. Hundreds of improvement actions have been generated from the feedback of this annual survey.

Regular communication is also channelled via the intranet, internal bulletins and social media.
