COLLABERA DIGITAL
The company ’ s extensive network of remote professionals spans diverse geographies and skill sets , enabling organisations to tap into a global pool of talent without the constraints of physical location .
“ Europe wasn ’ t one of the strongholds for the organisation ,” says Diaper . “ North America was really strong , Asia-Pacific was really strong and Europe was mainly a delivery centre . That ’ s completely changed . Currently , we ’ ve got four countries in Europe , and about 1000 staff , and that journey has grown over six years . Now , we are trying to flatten the structure a little bit , so instead of it being siloed , we ’ re more like one European organisation , and throughout the years , we ’ ve overcome a lot of challenges , from COVID-19 to the current economic situation .”
As with any organisation , attracting and retaining top talent is a challenge . Diaper explains that upon joining Collabera Digital , it was his responsibility to attract new talent . “ I think the attraction is we ’ re building something incredible ,” he says . “ We are challenging the norm and we ’ re going up against the biggest organisations in the world , many of whom have been going for more than 50 years and everyone knows who they are , I don ’ t need to highlight them .
“ So it is a case of saying , let ’ s go and make a change . Let ’ s do things differently from what we ’ ve done before , and I think for our talent , it ’ s about being part of something where they are making a difference .”
Diaper truly believes that the workforce is everything to a company . “ Whether you are the best company in the world or you are a company going through a transformation , the people are the core to its success ,” he says . “ Technology is an enabler , of course , but you need the people to work on that technology and have the right skills in place .
