Diversity & Inclusion Protocol

Vision & Commitment

At Alison.ai, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace where every employee feels valued, respected, and empowered. We believe diversity is a key driver of innovation and success, and we actively cultivate an environment where different perspectives thrive.

Inclusive Hiring & Recruitment

• Structured Hiring Process – Implement standardized interview questions and evaluation rubrics to reduce bias and ensure fair assessments.
• Expanding the Talent Pipeline – Proactively source candidates from underrepresented backgrounds, including racial minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and neurodiverse professionals.

All promotions and salary increases are based solely on measurable performance metrics, ensuring decisions are driven by results rather than individual identity.
  

Workplace Culture & Policies
