Plaisio Computers employs over 1,700 people (as of 2024), consistently investing in the creation of a workplace that promotes diversity, inclusion, and equality. These values are at the heart of the company’s culture and represent a strategic priority for its leadership.

In 2023, the company signed the Diversity Charter, reaffirming its commitment to combating discrimination and promoting workplace equality. The following year, in 2024, Plaisio developed and adopted an Equal Opportunities Policy, institutionally reinforcing accessibility and equal treatment for all employees. In 2025, the company was recognized as a “Best Workplace for Women”, reflecting its substantial progress in empowering women in the workplace.This commitment is also reflected in the company’s workforce composition, with women representing 48% of total employees.

As part of its efforts to support professional development and social inclusion, in 2023 Plaisio participated in the “Live a Legacy” initiative by Women on Top and Mastercard, offering paid internships to women seeking career advancement through mentoring and guidance. Ιn parallel, the company took part in an educational initiative by the social enterprise “Black Light”, which designs and implements programs that promote inclusion for people with and without visual impairments, building bridges of understanding and collaboration in both the workplace and consumer environments.

Through these initiatives, Plaisio reaffirms its commitment to creating a fair, inclusive, and equitable work environment that strengthens social cohesion and promotes the professional development of all individuals, regardless of gender, identity, or ability.
