Life at SDL
Enjoy a positive working environment
We pride ourselves on providing high standards of health and safety for our employees. During the recent pandemic, we responded swiftly to protect the health and safety of our employees, transitioning all to remote working. Some other examples of what we do include: providing training on First Aid, conducting numerous fire drills, equipping offices with safety blankets, and regularly testing electricity to ensure it is compliant while taking immediate action should a problem exist.
In addition, each time we upgrade an office area, we take special care to further upgrade its safety.
Make a difference
The Board is very involved in SDL Foundation and closely collaborates with us to review and discuss donations we make.
We also encourage employees to use their volunteering time to support a charity or community group of their own choice, or to take up an opportunity provided by the Foundation. We give all employees five paid days to volunteer. Last year 478 days of employee time were spent volunteering.
Work hard. Play hard. Be yourself
As a company focused on connecting humans through language, Diversity and Inclusion is a key cornerstone of our culture. Our focus areas for 2020 are LGBT+, ethnicity, women in leadership, and physical and mental wellbeing. Each of these areas is led by a member of the Executive Team.
We are proud to work at a place where all can succeed and grow their career—a place where talent can flourish and where the colour of your skin, your culture, race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexuality, or disabilities are embraced and respected.
