ColorMatrix offers a truly multi-cultural and international environment. Approximately 25% of staff are representatives of diverse nationalities and 18 different languages.
ColorMatrix has maintained its positive, committed, trusting small company culture. Part of the company values is to have a 'happy hard working team environment'. These are not meaningless words from the boardroom but are a reality throughout the business and supported as such via empirical feedback loops set into place such as the appraisal process, appraisal preparation documents and employee satisfaction questionnaires.
To encourage high levels of performance, employees are aware that if they perform well they will be rewarded well in terms of increased salary and opportunity. The company has made a considerable investment in a thorough revision of its Contracts of Employment, Policies and Terms and Conditions in close liaison with legal representatives. These changes are beneficial to the employees and ensure that the company is in line with legislative requirements whilst maintaining its role as a supportive employer. ColorMatrix now has a wide range of policies including a Whistle Blowing Policy, Equal Opportunities Policy, Data Protection Policy, Family Policy and a Health and Safety Policy.
The company has an effective and structured communications strategy in the form of company-wide 'Plan Do Review' meetings which prove to be an invaluable source of information both vertically and horizontally across the organization. There are frequent formal and informal meetings involving the whole company which has a significantly positive impact on internal communications.
