CSR

Skillfinder International has a responsibility as a company to be socially and environmentally aware, and to protect and preserve our world for the future. We strive to improve efficiency in the way we do business, and we expect the same of our employees and our suppliers. We partner only with those companies that demonstrate the same commitment through their own policies and services.

We respect the values of our employees, provide good conditions of work and equal opportunities. We improve employee satisfaction through training, and developing their intellectual capacity for their greater benefit and quality of life. We ensure all our activities and processes provide a safe working environment, along with a work-life balance for our employees.

We are a committed equal opportunity employer and will abide by all fair labour practices. We ensure that our activities do not directly or indirectly violate human rights in any country.

We believe our views, actions and internal policies will provide long-term benefits for our global employees, clients, partners and individuals in local communities.
