Prejudice still exists, especially when we talk about race, people with disabilities (PwD), generations, LGBTI+ people and gender. In the Algar group, there is no tolerance for any form of prejudice
After all, our biggest advantage is our people, plural and diverse in their origins, experiences, physical characteristics and many others. It is these same people who allow us to solve, create, innovate, transform and who form the Algar group with more than 19 thousand members
We are proud and respectful of our people. It is their plurality that makes our Group inventive, innovative and strong. Therefore, we do not tolerate any type of discrimination, whether based on gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, origin, social or physical. To inspire respect for diversity, we created the Diversity Booklet at Algar Sem Barreiras, in which we explain, point by point, how we respect people in an integral way.
Our teams understand that serving is what sets us apart and drives us. Thus, we join together to empower our talents in achieving high economic performance for our clients. And more: to grow together, impacting and transforming the world in which we live. Does this interest you? Come evolve and grow with us!
Our companies were elected by Great Place to Work as one of the best to work for. And the great recognition came from Algar Tech, elected one of the best companies for women to work in Brazil.
This is due to the fact that the Algar group does not tolerate, under any circumstances, situations of machismo. For this reason, our internal Ombudsman accepts complaints of violence against women.
To further strengthen gender diversity, we have projects for equal pay, space for breastfeeding in companies, as well as mentoring programs for women in rising positions.
Lesbophobia, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia take a person’s life every 16 hours, according to data from the Ministry of Human Rights.
When looking at this type of data, we find that we need to understand the theory, but mainly take actions that strengthen us as diverse and do not violate any of us.
As a result, we defined the best practices for the use of bathrooms in the Algar group, initiated the use of social badges, extended benefits to homo-affective Algarians, created the LGBTQIA+ Forum and much more.
Ethnic groups must be respected. Black people, Asian descendants, Indigenous and other communities must be treated respectfully and without stigma. After all, skin color doesn’t define character and professional competence, so it shouldn’t define a career either.
Therefore, we do not tolerate racist actions nor any thoughts that demean people from stereotypes. We act directly in confronting languages that exclude people and valuing people of different ethnicities.
We believe that different generations can live and develop in the same environment. For this to happen in a rich way, we promote training programs, courses and conversations of alignment with younger professionals in order to increasingly increase job satisfaction and advance in work performance and productivity.
In addition, we created campaigns to hire 50+ professionals, investing in the constant updating of knowledge and valuing the knowledge of the most experienced.
We learn day by day that relating to people with disabilities respectfully requires attention to language and its vices, to development opportunities and, above all, to accessibility.
For this reason, the Algar group is one of the creators of the Diversity+ program, in which we learned and evolved together in the responsibility of allocating exclusive job vacancies for PwDs, in helping Algarians to overcome language barriers, and in adapting physical spaces to that everyone feels part of the Algar group.
