Core Values & Culture
At Talis, we take great pride in the core values and culture that underpin our operations and define who we are as a company. These principles not only guide our actions but also shape how we conduct ourselves in every aspect of our work. Emphasising not just “what” we do but “how” we do it, they hold immense significance for both the organisation as a whole and every individual within it.
Our core values and culture serve as a beacon, highlighting our strengths and promoting collaboration both within our organisation and in our interactions with clients. They form the bedrock of our unique approach to conducting business and foster meaningful relationships with our staff, customers, partners and stakeholders. More than just words on paper, they provide a clear sense of direction and purpose, steering decision-making and ultimately driving the overall performance of our company.
We believe in being an integral part of a larger community and are dedicated to operating as a responsible and ethical company, with a profound positive impact not only on our clients but also on society as a whole. Our aspiration is to be recognised as an organisation committed to excellence, integrity and mutual respect.
In essence, the core values and culture at Talis lie at the very heart of our identity. They shape how we function and uphold the principles that matter most to us as an organisation and as individuals within it.
It is the foundation of our company; it is who we are what we stand for. It is a compass that guides our decision-making, allowing us to stay true to our vision and mission. It shapes our brand and culture and sets us apart from our competitors.
At Talis, our culture underpins everything we do. We strive to create an environment that embraces diversity and inclusion, equality, sustainability, safety, growth, open communication and work-life balance. We want our culture to engender a feeling of safety and belonging amidst our staff and to make Talis a more enjoyable place to work.
We spend eight hours a day at work, so it’s important to us that people have fun at work, be it a quiz and drinks on a Friday afternoon, team lunches and sundowners every few months, celebrating achievement and milestones or even just casual banter over our morning coffee, it’s all important to us.
At Talis we are committed to transparent and respectful engagement with our clients as well as our staff. We encourage and practice open and honest communication and ensure we are easily accessible should a client or staff feel the need to reach out to any member of the team.
We support a work culture that not only places operational safety at the forefront, but also recognises that the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our staff is an essential part of creating a safe, healthy and productive workplace. Factors such as workplace stress, bullying and violence are addressed to ensure staff are safe and happy at work.
At Talis, we practice sustainability in our service delivery as well as in our operations. We endeavour to align ourselves with some of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and develop a culture which embraces long term sustainability. Our teams focus on delivering solutions that address the risk of development and minimise exposure to future liability. We have reduced our single use of materials though recycling programs, including scrap metal, batteries, printer toner cartridges, paper, cardboard, and commingled recycling wastes etc and are committed to sustainable procurement.
We work in an environment where we treat people fairly and discourage any form of direct or indirect discrimination. We practice equality by eliminating any unconscious bias in our hiring and evaluation processes, by creating a safe environment for all, irrespective of age, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender and by providing equal opportunity to develop and excel.
We understand that work is just one part of our life, and we value and support flexibility. We work in a manner that allows us to integrate other personal activities into our life, like family, hobbies, sport, socials etc. Working for us means having a life outside work and enjoying a good work life balance.
We value diversity in age, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, and gender and promote inclusivity in our workforce. Diversity brings different viewpoints and perspective to our Company and each person’s unique differences are recognised and valued. We want staff to feel that they can bring their true selves to work. A Diversity and Inclusion Committee has been setup to undertake necessary actions and facilitate interactions to bridge the gap that may be preventing us from being a company that holistically and genuinely embraces diversity and practices inclusiveness.
