Making Basware a great place to work, everyday

As a company we are committed to the wellbeing of our employees and continuously progressing toward a more inclusive culture. This is led by internal committees who champion initiatives such as Wellbeing and Diversity, Equality, Inclusion & Belonging (DEI&B) as well as Mentoring programs.

Our culture is underpinned by our core values that guide our global teams to deliver their best every day:

We Drive Customer Value

We care about delivering long-term value to our customers, partners, and fellow Baswareans. We always strive for agile and responsive ways of working.

We Take Ownership

We are trusted collaborative partners taking imitative and accountability. We act with integrity and aim for sustainability in everything we do.

We Are Bold

We have the confidence to explore, challenge and continuously improve. We are proud advocates of what we do. We value diversity of background and opinions as the foundation of innovation and growth.

Diversity, Equality, Inclusion & Belonging

Basware prides itself not only on award-winning technology, but also on the talent of our people. Our success is made possible by the hard work, daily dedication, and insatiable passion of the approximately 1,250 employees working across 13 countries, representing over 30 different nationalities.

Our goal is to empower all employees to bring their authentic selves to work, knowing that their unique perspectives and experiences contribute to our collective growth. Together, we strive to build a culture that embraces diversity, promotes equity, and celebrates the power of inclusion.

This is led by an internal employee-led committee. During the past year, we have been celebrating and raising awareness amongst employees through various activities such as International Womens Day, Mental Health Awareness Month, Pride, Movember as well as Diversity Days across our offices globally.

Women’s Mentoring Program

Basware’s Women’s Mentoring Program partners female employees with women in leadership to help them develop their ideal career paths, navigate a variety of situations influenced by gender-related issues, and offer a forum of support.

Young Professionals Program

Young Professional’s (YP) is a community established especially for people in their first or second full-time job. It's designed for YPs looking for growth, challenges, and the desire to progress both professionally and personally – a program to help build on their own career aspirations.

Wellbeing

Ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is one of the key focus areas at Basware.

In many circumstances, our flexible work environment allows for fully remote, hybrid, or fully in-office work situations. Many of our positions enable our employees to work from wherever they feel most comfortable and confident.

We host webinars, learning days, and utilise multiple collaborative technologies and software to help support everyone with the day-to-day aspects of working, as well as for many, a new way of working remotely.

Auntie Mental Health Service

Mental health is a critical component of overall wellbeing, and we recognize its significance in today's fast-paced world. Through our partnership with Auntie Mental Health, we provide dedicated mental health support services for individuals and organizations.

A one stop shop for wellbeing

We believe that holistic wellbeing goes beyond the office walls. Therefore, we have made the Virgin Pulse platform available to all employees which offers personalized wellness programs, goal tracking, team challenges, and incentives, all aimed at fostering healthy habits and enhancing physical and mental health for all Baswareans.
