Empowerment

We trust each other to do our jobs, act with integrity, be transparent and ask for help.

Each person is empowered to take ownership of their duties. We actively assist each other in reaching each other’s dreams, goals and aspirations. We give each other the freedom to try; if we make mistakes, we see this as a learning experience. We commit to providing constructive feedback and hold each other accountable for the agreed objectives.

We do not micromanage or have unnecessary rules and policies. Instead, we commit to creating a supportive environment where we listen to and develop our teams.

We see strength in diversity and wish to encourage each other to contribute their different views, thoughts, backgrounds, etc. We also unconditionally respect each other's differences.

We accept everyone for who they are (and who they are not) and strive to create a safe environment where everyone feels they belong, are included, respected, heard and recognised.

Diversity

We set goals and aspirations aligned with the collective's success. We aim to remain consistent in our approach and focus, aligning with our long-term goals.

We identify work-life balance and employee wellness as integral to the sustainability of our success.

We also aim to implement initiatives and set goals that positively impact our chosen industry and the wider community wherever possible.

Sustainability

QED appreciates that fostering a positive work environment is essential for attracting and retaining top talent. Our organisational culture prioritises flexibility and work-life balance as core principles. This flexibility needs to be balanced by:

• Accountability – whereby our employees ensure that they deliver excellence in line with our Client Promise

• Maintaining QED culture and interactions – by ensuring there remains regular in-person communication and interaction between team members and across the various departments

Work-from-Home Opportunities

The traditional 9-to-5 office model no longer applies in today's dynamic business landscape. Depending on the level and type of work, QED generally supports work-from-home opportunities with adequate infrastructure at home and where it does not detract from employee delivery. Therefore, employees can work most of each week from home depending on their manager, responsibilities and other work requirements. In many cases, we have found that this model improves productivity and general employee wellness as it is easier to accommodate personal commitments and reduce lengthy commutes.

Flexible Schedules

We recognise that life doesn’t always fit neatly into a 9-to-5 schedule. Our employees can adjust their work hours (subject to availability within certain core hours) to align with their personal needs, whether starting early, taking a midday break or working late.

Working From Other Provinces, Cities or Countries

We would consider, from a certain seniority level and depending on the role and responsibilities of an employee, allowing an employee to work from anywhere in the world on a temporary or permanent basis. (Terms and Conditions apply)
