Nationalities

Kuda’s main DEI goal is to raise awareness about the differences and commonalities within our diverse workforce. We're taking this beyond just education by having a DEI committee with members from different ethnic backgrounds, genders, age groups, and countries within our Tribe. We also have a platform for our Tribe members to share their concerns confidentially as well as an easily accessible inbox for DEI-related inquiries.

The members of our DEI committee share personal insights, ideas, and experiences related to DEI in the workplace. They also help the Tribe recognise and address biases that they may encounter or have been made aware of. Through open discussions, the committee aims to facilitate education and foster mutual respect among all members of the Tribe, ultimately preventing future issues.

Our efforts in promoting DEI have been recognized with a Stevie Award for Great Employers, a testament to our commitment to creating a more inclusive and respectful work environment.
