Anessa is a software company specializing in biogas projects including anaerobic digestions. It’s headquartered in New Brunswick. They’re actively trying to recruit from the biogas side but in Atlantic Canada that’s a challenge.
One thing Anessa did right away was adopt the principles of diversity and inclusion into their recruitment practices. Co-found Amir Akbari says there was a noticeable impact when it came to working with international markets – Anessa was able to understand client culture, even languages at times that competitors just couldn’t.
At the same time the internal culture of the company grew to become vibrant, creative – and led to a better product.
For Anessa, diversity is a secret weapon to success.
