Inclusion is the better part of diversity
Why equality, diversity, and inclusion are important to us
PerfectIt users are keepers of the written word. They choose language consciously and invest time and effort in written communication. We believe that recognizing and changing biased language and behavior is a commitment everyone should share. Our choice of words and actions can make a significant difference.
At PerfectIt we value diversity and believe that diverse teams generate diverse ideas and great outcomes. Being a diverse and inclusive employer helps us fulfil our responsibility to aid customers in their most crucial work.
With customers from all walks of life and with myriad points of view, we strive to serve all corners of the writing world. We stand with those working to shine a light on all forms of exclusion and inequality.
We aim for a team that reflects all sections of society and our customers, where employees feel respected and able to give their best.
An inclusive culture is essential for promoting inclusive language and behaviour, and we want our team to feel safe to be their authentic selves.
“We aim to create an environment that celebrates diversity. We are committed to ensuring that everyone is given equal opportunities to succeed, and we stand with those working to shine a light on all forms of exclusion and inequality.”

What we’re doing
Our equality, diversity, and inclusion strategy focuses on key themes with an action plan for each. We regularly review our progress to assess effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.
Recruitment – We have an inclusive recruitment approach which aims to increase diversity and eliminate unconscious bias wherever possible.
Employee experience – We strive for a workplace culture that prioritizes diversity and celebrates individual differences in all areas. We want to empower our teammates to achieve their full potential through equitable opportunities.
Customer experience – We endeavour to provide an inclusive approach that values and respects diversity, removes any barriers to accessing our products, and promotes an environment in which all customers feel heard, understood, and valued.
Leadership – Our management team leads by example and promotes the benefits of inclusive practice. In a sector that has been historically male, Intelligent Editing's management team is 50% female. We look forward to a world where that's unremarkable.
An acknowledgement
We admit it: we have yet to achieve all our goals in terms of diversity and inclusion. We take our commitment to improving equality seriously, recognizing that these are complex issues that are deeply ingrained in society. Therefore, achieving our objectives will take time. Even as we make progress, we know that our goals will continue to evolve as the world around us changes constantly.
Our goal is to make PerfectIt a great company to work for, where everyone feels represented and is treated fairly and equitably. We are dedicated to continuously reviewing and improving our approach to ensure that we prioritize equality, diversity, and inclusion as we grow.
