Imperfect is a Brussels based tech SME working on circular construction. Our team is still growing, which makes it the right moment to be clear about how we approach gender equality and a safe, respectful work environment.
This plan applies to everyone who works with us: founders, team members, trainees and long term collaborators.
We keep it simple:
Equal chances and fair treatment for all genders
No discrimination, no harassment, no sexist behaviour
Active attention to balance in our team and decision making
Recruitment
Use gender neutral language in job descriptions and calls
Share opportunities in networks that reach underrepresented genders in tech and construction
Base selection on skills and role fit, not on gender, family situation or care responsibilities
Pay and roles
Apply the same salary logic and rate structure to comparable roles, regardless of gender
Once a year, check if there are unexplained differences in pay between people in similar positions
As we grow, try to avoid a situation where one gender clearly dominates the team or the management group
Work life balance
Offer flexible hours and hybrid work whenever compatible with projects
Respect maternity, paternity and parental leave
Try to keep key meetings within core hours, so people with care responsibilities are not disadvantaged
Safe environment
Zero tolerance for harassment, bullying or sexist comments, including in chats and online tools
Simple way to raise concerns, anonymously if needed
When a concern is raised, a small group looks at it and proposes follow up actions, with external support if required
Aim for mixed gender representation in project teams, speakers and public roles, within the limits of our size and available candidates
When relevant, pay attention to gender aspects in user research, testing and impact discussions
Share what we learn about inclusive practices with partners in education, public bodies and research
Once a year we will briefly review:
The gender balance in our team and in leadership roles
Any unexplained pay gaps between comparable roles
Any gender related incident reports and how they were handled (anonymised)
If needed, we update this page so that the current version is always visible next to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
