At InterDigital, we focus our efforts on making our company a rewarding place to work for all by prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion, encouraging employee development, and creating a safe, healthy work environment that respects, values, and enables each of our colleagues to achieve their best.
Fostering the career growth of our employees is critical to the growth of our business. We endeavor to ensure that our leaders of tomorrow are members of the company today. We have prioritized several strategies to foster an inclusive workplace that celebrates the diversity of backgrounds, styles, and thought, including standardizing and publishing diversity-focused recruiting and hiring practices and processes.
InterDigital has established Leadership Essentials, a competency framework that details the behaviors for success at all levels within the company. The Leadership Essentials serve as a roadmap for employees to own their development, as well as a guidepost to the critical behaviors that shape our culture.
We are committed to our employees’ development and providing opportunities for training on management skills, leadership fundamentals, and topics related to health and wellness. We also provide educational resources and professional development opportunities for our employees.
InterDigital has long built a culture based on health, safety, and employee well-being. As the way we live and work has evolved with the pandemic, we have been focused on creating a new work model that supports our InterDigital employees. We have been at the forefront of providing employees with the flexibility to work full-time in the office, fully virtually, or a hybrid of both. We provide holistic benefits and maintain company policies that promote a culture of wellness. We recently increased our paid parental leave from eight to twelve weeks and have kept employees connected to volunteer opportunities that benefited both their mental health and communities through our Charity Day paid time off program.
