Digital 24 is committed to fostering a work environment that is fair, inclusive, and respectful. We believe that the success of our business is intrinsically linked to the well-being and fair treatment of our employees, subcontractors, and student workers.

Fair Employment Code of Practice & Equality of Opportunity

In alignment with the Fair Employment Code of Practice in Northern Ireland, Digital 24 conducts regular Article 55 Reviews to ensure fair participation in employment for members of both the Protestant and Roman Catholic communities. Our commitment to equality of opportunity is not merely a written policy but a practice that is visibly and effectively implemented across all levels of the organisation. This policy is based on the principle of selection according to merit and has been agreed upon with our HR Manager, employee representatives, and workforce.

Transparency and Communication

Our equality of opportunity policy is clearly stated within the organisation (and forms part of the induction period) and noted in relevant publications like job advertisements. There is no ambiguity about our policy and practice, ensuring that all stakeholders are well-informed.

Compensation and Benefits

Digital 24 adheres to the Living Wage Foundation’s guidelines, ensuring that all our employees receive a wage that meets the real cost of living. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health and wellbeing programmes, regular team outings, team trips abroad, company benefits, bonuses, paid lunch and paid annual leave.

Work-Life Balance

We offer flexible working arrangements, including remote work and flexible hours, to accommodate the diverse needs and commitments of our employees.

Training and Development

Our commitment to employee growth is reflected in our robust training and development programmes. We offer a range of in-house training sessions, workshops, and access to industry conferences and courses such as Digital DNA, Web Summit and Women In Business events.

Health and Safety

Digital 24 complies with all relevant health and safety regulations. We conduct regular audits and provide ongoing training to ensure a safe and healthy work environment.

Inclusion and Diversity

We have a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination in any form. Our recruitment process is designed to be inclusive, and we actively seek to build a diverse team.

Sub-Contractors and Agency Workers

Our fair work practices extend to our subcontractors and student workers. We ensure that they are compensated fairly and work in conditions that meet our high standards for health and safety.

Monitoring and Accountability

We have a dedicated Human Resources team that monitors compliance with fair work practices and handles any grievances through a clear and transparent escalation process.

Business Benefits of Equality

We concur with the Code’s assertion that equality of opportunity in employment is not just a legal and moral obligation but also makes good business sense. It broadens our recruitment base, enhances the integrity of our personnel practices, and positively impacts our corporate image.

Regular Scrutiny and Sound Practices

Even as we regard ourselves as a fair employer, we regularly scrutinise our practices to ensure they align with the steps mentioned in the Fair Employment Code of Practice. We understand that discrimination and inequality can occur in the absence of regular scrutiny and the adoption of sound practices.

Legal Implications

Whilst failure to observe any of the provisions in the Code does not constitute discrimination, we pay close regard to it, understanding its significant status under the law. We are aware that a Fair Employment Tribunal must take into account provisions in the Code relevant to any question arising in proceedings before it.

Digital 24 believes that fair work practices are integral to the success of our company and the satisfaction of our clients. We are committed to maintaining these high standards always.
